Study summary

There are studies that suggest glycemic response to incretin-based therapies differs between Asians and Caucasians, whereby Asians have better response compared to Caucasians. Hence, the therapeutic response could also be augmented by difference in incretin system among various ethnicities. This study is carried out to study the effect of dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (DPPIV) inhibitors in prediabetes and T2DM patients who have different levels of GLP-1 and to determine the effect on glycemic profiles, insulin resistance/sensitivity, beta-cell functon.

Read the detailed description

A 12-week, open-label, single treatment study using linagliptin is conducted in 28 prediabetes and 22 T2DM subjects who are divided into low and high fasting GLP-1 groups. Prediabetes are recruited from OGTT screening. Type 2 diabetes patients are recruited from specialised diabetes clinic and routine follow-up. A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is performed at week 0 and 12. Venous blood samples were drawn at times 0 (before initiation of OGTT), 30, 60, 90, 120 min from the indwelling catheter for measurement of glucose and insulin.All prediabetes and T2DM subjects receive Linagliptin 5mg once daily for a duration of 12 weeks.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. change from baseline in glucose after 12-week treatment

    OGTT is performed at week 0 (baseline) and 12 (complete treatment). plasma glucose levels are taken at time 0,30,60,90,120 minutes during OGTT.

    Time frame: baseline to 12 weeks

  2. change from baseline in HbA1c after 12-week treatment

    plasma level of fasting HbA1c is taken at week 0 and 12 of study before OGTT

    Time frame: baseline to 12 weeks

  3. change from baseline in insulin sensitivity/resistance index after 12-week treatment

    OGTT is performed at week 0 (baseline) and 12. Plasma levels of glucose and insulin are taken at time 0,30,60,90,120 min during the OGTT. HOMA-IR, HOMA-IS are used to measure insulin resistance and insulin sensitivity at week 0 and week 12

    Time frame: baseline to 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. change from baseline in beta-cell function after 12-week treatment

    OGTT is performed at week 0 (baseline) and 12 (treatment complete). HOMS-beta, insulinogenic index, oral disposition index are used to measure beta-cell funciton at week 0 and 12

    Time frame: baseline to 12 weeks
