Sulfonylurea Effects on Glucagon Regulation During Hypoglycemia in Type 1 DM - Full Text View

Sponsor:	University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland
Information provided by:	University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00515801

Purpose

We aim to demonstrate that oral administration of glibenclamide stimulates pancreatic glucagon secretion during hypoglycemia in insulin-deficient (C-peptide negative) patients with type 1 diabetes when compared to type 1 diabetic patients with residual insulin secretion (C-peptide positive).

Further study details as provided by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland:

Primary Outcome Measures:

plasma glucagon concentrations during insulin induced hypoglycemia with and without glibenclamide pretreatment [ Time Frame: cross-sectional ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

rate of glucose recovery following insulin induced hypoglycemia with and without glibenclamide pretreatment [ Time Frame: cross-sectional ]
cognitive function during insulin induced hypoglycemia with and without glibenclamide pretreatment [ Time Frame: cross-sectional ]

Estimated Enrollment:	20
Study Start Date:	June 2007
Estimated Study Completion Date:	February 2008

Arms	Assigned Interventions
A: Experimental Glibenclamide 5 mg tablets	Drug: glibenclamide glibenclamide 15 mg single dose
B: Placebo Comparator placebo capsules	Drug: placebo placebo capsules, single dose

Detailed Description:

The glucagon response during insulin induced hypoglycemia and rate of glucose recovery will be monitored in 10 C-peptide positive and 10 C-Peptide negative patients with type 1 DM following the application of glibenclamide and placebo in a randomized, single-blind, cross-over study.

Cognitive function during hypoglycemia with and without glibenclamide pretreatment will be a secondary outcome.
