GLUCOSE-MGH: Genetic Links Understood Through Challenge With Oral Semaglutide Exposure at MGH

Обзор

The goal of this research study is to evaluate the pathophysiologic mechanisms by which genetic variation impacts response to an FDA-approved medication commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes called oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) and to characterize the physiological response to a mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) before and after a 14-day treatment with oral semaglutide. The investigators will do this by measuring factors in the blood, such as sugars, fats, metabolites, and proteins, after eating a standardized breakfast meal at the first visit and after taking 14 doses of oral semaglutide over two weeks before the second study visit. The food (mixed meal breakfast) we will be studying is specially prepared to contain a set amount of protein, carbohydrates, and fat. The investigators hypothesize that understanding how the acute biochemical response to oral semaglutide differs by genetic variation will generate insight into drug mechanisms and type 2 diabetes pathophysiology.

Подробное описание

On day 1 (Visit 1), the research subject will present to the Translational and Clinical Research Center (TCRC) after an overnight fast. We will obtain informed consent, check vital signs, take anthropometric measurements, and draw fasting blood work through an intravenous catheter. The subject will then be provided a standard mixed meal to be consumed within 30 minutes. Additional blood will be drawn at the time of meal completion (0 minutes), as well as 5, 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes following the meal. During study days 3-15, the subject will take 7 mg of oral semaglutide once daily. On day 16 (Visit 2), the research subject will return to the TCRC. During this visit, the subject will take the final (14th) dose of semaglutide, receive fasting blood work, and receive another mixed meal with subsequent blood draws at several time points over 120 minutes.

Вмешательства

• Препарат oral semaglutide
  Semaglutide is the only oral glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) approved for treatment of type 2 diabetes. Participants will receive 7 mg of oral semaglutide once daily for 14 days in between Visit 1 and Visit 2.
• Другое Mixed Meal Tolerance Test (MMTT)
  The MMTT is developed by the Metabolism and Nutrition Metabolic Kitchen at the MGH TCRC. The meal is a high-calorie, high-carbohydrate and moderate-to-high glycemic index challenge composed of commonly consumed breakfast food items. It provides nearly 90 grams of carbohydrates and mimics an oral glucose challenge. The participants will undergo a MMTT at Visit 1 and Visit 2.
