Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

In this study, the researchers hope to learn about SGLT2 inhibition on EGP (endogenous glucose production) and plasma glucose concentration in diabetic subjects. Researchers will examine diabetes and the role of increased plasma glucagon, decline in plasma insulin, and fall in plasma glucose concentration.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 4

Detailed Description

This study will examine whether the coadministration of exenatide plus dapagliflozin will prevent the increase in EGP and result in an additive or even synergistic decrease in plasma glucose concentration compared to each agent alone.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in Endogenous Glucose Production (EGP) for Dapagliflozin only [16 weeks]

      The change in EGP above baseline following dapagliflozin alone

    2. Change in EGP for Dapagliflozin plus exenatide (Byetta) [16 weeks]

      The change in EGP above baseline following dapagliflozin/exenatide (Byetta)

    3. Change in EGP for Dapagliflozin plus exenatide (Bydureon) [16 weeks]

      The change in EGP above baseline following dapagliflozin/exenatide (bydureon)

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in EGP for Exenatide (Byetta) vs dapagliflozin/exenatide [16 weeks]

      The change in EGP above baseline following exenatide (byetta) alone versus dapagliflozin/exenatide (byetta)

    2. Change in EGP for dapagliflozin vs placebo [16 weeks]

      The change in EGP above baseline following dapagliflozin alone versus the change in EGP following placebo.

    3. Change in EGP for exenatide (byetta) vs placebo [16 weeks]

      The change in EGP above baseline following dapagliflozin alone, exenatide alone, and dapagliflozin/exenatide versus the change in EGP following placebo.

    4. Change in EGP for dapagliflozin/exenatide vs placebo [16 weeks]

      The change in EGP above baseline following dapagliflozin/exenatide versus the change in EGP following placebo.
