ACute and Chronic Effects of Saxagliptin

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Impaired Glucose Tolerance
Interventions
Other: placebo pill
Registration Number
NCT01521312
Lead Sponsor
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Brief Summary

Glucose ACCES study will explore the acute and long term (12-week treatment) effects of saxagliptin in patients with impaired glucose tolerance during fasting and after a standardised breakfast. The investigations will be performed on:

* glycemic parameters

* on cardiovascular parameters

Detailed Description

The aim of this pilot study is to compare in patients with impaired glucose tolerance the effects of saxagliptin versus placebo:

(i) on glucose metabolism (ii) on vago-sympathetic activity, arterial stiffness and endothelial function. A total of 36 patients will be recruited in the department of Endocrinology-Diabetology-Nutrition of Jean VERDIER hospital, AP-HP, Bondy, France.

The measurements will be performed in the morning 1) at the time of randomisation (Acute ACCES study) and 2) 11-14 weeks after the beginning of saxagliptin or placebo (Chronic ACCES study).

We will evaluate at fasting and each hour after a standardized breakfast:

(i) biological and metabolic parameters. Furthermore, an oral glucose tolerance test will be performed at the end of the study.

(ii) by non-invasive devices arterial stiffness (Sphygmocor®), endothelial function (ENDOPAT 2000® ), cutaneous microcirculation (laser doppler Perimed ®.PF 5010) and cardiac autonomic function(task force monitor®).
