PATHS-T2D: A Recall-by-Genotype Study of Physiologic and Pharmacologic Responses

Официальное название

Polygenic Assessment and Testing of Heterogeneity and Subtypes in Type 2 Diabetes (PATHS-T2D): A Recall-by-Genotype Study of Physiologic and Pharmacologic Responses

Обзор

We are conducting a research study to learn how the body responds to food through different genetic pathways and how these responses may change during a short course of orforglipron. Orforglipron is an oral glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on April 1, 2026, for long-term weight management. In longer studies, it has helped people lose weight and improve blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. By taking part, you will receive detailed metabolic testing and may receive study results that provide additional information about your blood sugar and metabolic health.

Подробное описание

This is a clinical research study using a recall-by-genotype strategy to characterize physiologic responses associated with specific genetic pathways and to determine the physiologic responses under orforglipron challenge.

We will enroll approximately 100 adults aged 18-79 years who have previously agreed to be recontacted for future studies through the MGB biobank. The target sample size may be adjusted depending of funding availability and to power pharmacologic challenges. The study population will consist of four groups of high genetic risk for glycemic/insulinemic associations based on three pPS, along with controls selected from the interquartile range (IQR) across all pPS to provide a mechanism-agnostic comparator. Blood glucose, insulin, and incretin hormone levels will be measured during a baseline mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT) at Visit 1. Individuals with diabetes or prediabetes determined through a previous HbA1c ≥ 5.7% or fingerstick glucose, during the MMTT (fasting glucose of ≥100 mg/dL, 1 hour glucose ≥155 mg/dL, or 2 hours glucose \>=140 mg/dL. will be invited to participate in the acute orforglipron challenge and another MMTT at Visit 2.

Participants who are eligible for the orforglipron challenge will be provided with orforglipron 2.5mg daily for 11 days at home leading up to Visit 2, another MMTT, during which participants will take the final (12th) dose of orforglipron 2.5mg 30 minutes before starting another MMTT.
