Study summary

This is a phase 1 randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled study with single oral dose of globalagliatin hydrochloride (SY-004) administered to chinese healthy subjects to evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of globalagliatin hydrochloride (SY-004).

Read the detailed description

Glucokinase is a characteristic hexokinase isoenzyme in hepatocytes that catalyzes the first step in glucose metabolism. In addition to its role in glucose metabolism, glucokinase is expressed in pancreatic islet beta cells where it acts as a "glucose sensor" for insulin release. Activation of glucokinase increases the glucose sensitivity of insulin secretion, effectively lowering the glucose threshold for insulin secretion. Because of its potential to enhance insulin secretion and affect hepatic glucose metabolism, is being investigated for use as a treatment for hyperglycaemia,glubalagliatin( the active ingredient in SY-004 capsule) is being investigated for use as a treatment for T2DM patients. This is a phase 1 randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled study with single oral dose of SY-004 administered to chinese healthy subjects to evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of SY-004.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • There is a serious history of systemic disease, or a family history (including cardiovascular system, digestive system, urinary system, etc.)

  • An clinical significant abnormality in the 12-lead at screening or baseline: > 450 ms
  • Subjects deemed unsuitable by the Investigator for low compliance or any other reason.
  • investigator and their immediate families.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Live vaccines

Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.
