Filter by:In order to evaluate the difference in beta cell mass in patients with and without hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia after Roux en Y gastric bypass (RYGB) investigators aim to compare quantitative PET imaging of the pancreas between these patient groups. These highly relevant data will provide investigators with more information on the possible role of beta cell mass in the mechanisms of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia bariatric surgery.
This is an investigator-initiated, proof-of-concept, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-centre phase II study aiming to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of self-administered subcutaneous 120 µg dasiglucagon with an investigational trial device (i.e. a multi-dose reusable pen) for the treatment of postprandial hypoglycaemia after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. The study is divided into an in-patient and out-patient part. The primary aim of the study is to compare the effects of self-administered 120 µg dasiglucagon versus placebo on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-assessed time spent in hypoglycaemia in RYGB-operated individuals in an out-patient setting.
The aim of this study is investigating the effect of a novel glucagon analogue administration in gastric bypass operated individuals, who are reactive hypoglycemic.
This will be a prospective single-arm before-and-after clinical trial in which raw corn starch (RCS) will be first applied on patients with unoperated insulinoma. Nutritional intervention with supplementation of RCS will be initiated in 20 patients with suspected insulinoma to improve their hypoglycemia before the surgery. Duration of nutritional intervention, fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, weight change, BMI and other metabolic indices will be recorded and compared before and after the intervention.
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Glucagon RTU when administered to subjects with a history of bariatric surgery during episodes of post-postprandial hypoglycemia. Twelve eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to receive Glucagon RTU or placebo at the first of two clinical research center (CRC) visits, followed by the other treatment at the second CRC visit. Subjects will be randomly assigned to either Glucagon RTU or Placebo for the duration of a 12-week Outpatient Stage. A follow-up safety assessment visit will occur 14 to 28 days after a subject's last dose of study drug.
Somatostatin analogues are a last resort for medical intervention in hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH). The hypoglycemia is very debilitating and can be even life threatening. There is limited experience with pasireotide in hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (only one publication); there is more experience with octreotide, both in adults and children successful interventions with octreotide in hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia have been published. Pasireotide via its different somatostatin receptor binding profile has clear effects on insulin, glucagon and incretin secretion and can ultimately lead to hyperglycemia. This mode of action (especially the effects on insulin and incretin secretion) could be very useful in the setting of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of exenatide in adults experiencing episodes of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia following Roux-en-Y bariatric surgery.
Post-gastric bypass hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia is a recently described disorder occurring in some patients after gastric bypass surgery for obesity. The pathogenesis is incompletely understood but involves a robust insulin response to ingested carbohydrate. The resultant hyperinsulinemia sometimes produces hypoglycemia with neuroglycopenia, confusion and even loss of consciousness. Various treatments have been recommended including low carbohydrate diets, coingestion of the medication acarbose with carbohydrate containing meals, partial pancreatectomy and even total pancreatectomy. None is completely satisfactory. We propose to test two new potential treatments. Using a design with random assignment of three conditions we plan to compare, in 10 patients with post-gastric bypass hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, a high carbohydrate test meal (control condition), a high carbohydrate test meal after pre-treatment with rapid acting aspart insulin (insulin condition), and a high fructose, low glucose test meal with carbohydrate and caloric content similar to the control meal (fructose condition).
