Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, randomized clinical trial for patients with recurrent type 2 diabetes post-gastric bypass surgery that will compare a 6 month course of canagliflozin monotherapy vs. placebo on clinical outcomes of type 2 diabetes.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 4

Detailed Description

Following consent and a screening visit to assess eligibility and clinical status (i.e. historical, physical and biochemical parameters including glycemic control and a pregnancy test in females), a baseline visit with diabetes educator will take place to provide standard diabetes education, nutrition and exercise prescription.

Nutritional assessment for vitamin/mineral deficiency will be performed per clinical care guidelines at the screening visit. Subjects will be asked to take nutritional supplements (i.e. vitamins and minerals) per current clinical guidelines for post-bariatric patients. Stable doses of supplements will be established for at least 2 weeks prior to randomization. Thirty-six subjects with recurrent diabetes that are naïve to hypoglycemic agents with HbA1c greater than or equal to 6.5% and less than 10% will be randomly assigned to a six month course of a) canagliflozin 100mg for 2 weeks titrated up to 300 mg daily (N = 24) vs. placebo (n= 12) at the randomization. Patients taking an anti-diabetic medication will be asked to wash out for 8 weeks prior to the randomization visit. At randomization, biochemical assessment of glycemic parameters (fasting glucose, HbA1c), lipid panel, complete metabolic panel, uric acid, leptin, total and HMW adiponectin, C-reactive protein and urine for albumin/creatinine ratio will be performed. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan will be performed for body fat composition.

Following randomization, subjects will be clinically evaluated at three office visits at 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months by PI and/or the research staff. The primary outcome measures at 6 months post-randomization include HbA1c followed by the change in HbA1c from randomization. Secondary measures include fasting glucose, BMI, change in body weight, blood pressure, lipid profile. Symptomatic hypoglycemia (blood glucose < 70) and drug related side effects (i.e. mycotic genital infections, urinary tract infection) will be monitored with adverse event reporting. Metabolic testing in all subjects at randomization and at 6 months will include a DXA scan for body fat composition and blood for leptin and adiponectin levels.

Rescue glucose lowering therapy will be provided for the control group for blood glucose >250 mg/dl. If chronic uncontrolled hyperglycemia (HbA1c >10%) occurs then basal bolus insulin will be implemented.
