简要总结
The investigators hypothesise that the insulinotropic effect of endogenous GIP is improvable in patients with type 2 diabetes after three weeks of near-normalisation of plasma glucose. To test this hypothesis, a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, crossover study employing a GIP receptor antagonist, will be carried out.
Fifteen overweight (body mass index (BMI) > 25 kg/m2) dysregulated (HbA1c >/= 59 mmol/mol and treatment with metformin or >53 mmol/mol and treatment with metformin + add/on) patients with type 2 diabetes will attend two experimental days followed by a three-week-four-week period of plasma glucose near-normalisation (achieved by standard treatment of type 2-diabetes), followed by another two experimental days. On experimental days, patients will receive an infusion of GIP receptor antagonist or placebo during a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test. The primary endpoint is changes in levels of C-peptide divided by changes in levels of plasma glucose and secondary endpoints include changes in circulating levels of C-peptide, insulin, glucose, GIP, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), glucagon and markers of bone turnover as well as indices of beta cell function. Furthermore, gastric emptying rate will be assessed.
详细描述
Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) exerts a strong insulinotropic effect in healthy individuals following meal ingestion. Studies in patients with type 2 diabetes have shown that the insulinotropic effect of exogenous GIP is severely reduced and recent data from the investigators' group suggest that the insulinotropic effect of endogenous GIP is compromised too. Interestingly, after near-normalisation of plasma glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes (continuing metformin and by using empagliflozin + intensive insulin treatment), the insulinotropic effect of exogenous GIP can be restored. The investigators have previously observed a similar restoration of the beta cell secretory response to exogenous GIP after therapy with DPP-4 inhibitors, the effects of which rely on preservation of incretins.
The investigators hypothesise that the insulinotropic effect of endogenous GIP is improvable in patients with type 2 diabetes after three weeks-four weeks of near-normalisation of plasma glucose. To test this hypothesis, a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, crossover study employing a GIP receptor antagonist, will be carried out.
Fifteen overweight (body mass index (BMI) > 25 kg/m2) dysregulated (HbA1c >/= 59 mmol/mol and treatment with metformin or >53 mmol/mol and treatment with metformin + add/on) patients with type 2 diabetes will attend two experimental days followed by a three-week/four-week period of plasma glucose near-normalisation (achieved by standard treatment of type 2-diabetes), followed by another two experimental days.

Furthermore, gastric emptying rate will be assessed.
Glucose-lowering drugs based on the effects of another incretin hormone, GLP-1, are successfully being used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, due to the reduced insulinotropic effect of GIP in patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes, treatments based on GIP receptor activation are not on the market. Recently however, a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist has shown promising phase II results. The importance of GIP receptor engagement for the efficacy of these compounds remains to be shown. The present project will answer to what extent the insulinotropic effect of endogenous GIP in patients with type 2 diabetes can be restored following near-normalisation of plasma glucose and thus, provide important perspectives on how to further advance the development of GIP-based therapeutics.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in [plasma C-peptide] / [plasma glucose] after near-normalisation of plasma glucose
时间窗: Assessed multiple times on each of the four study days
The primary endpoint is beta cell sensitivity to glucose as assessed by the C-peptide response to a 75 g-oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (as assessed by baseline-subtracted area under the curve (bsAUC)) divided by levels of plasma glucose (as assessed by bsAUC) during GIP(3-30)NH2 infusion compared to placebo before and after near-normalisation of plasma glucose.
