Breakthrough Medication
Metoclopramide is a drug approved by the FDA for gastroesophageal reflux and to relieve symptoms in adults with acute and recurrent diabetic gastroparesis. The objective of this study is to determine whether metoclopramide can improve hypoglycemia awareness and decrease the incidence of hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes patients with hypoglycemia unawareness.

VX-880 for Type 1 Diabetes

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
This trial will test the safety and effectiveness of VX-880 infusion in people with Type 1 diabetes who have trouble sensing low blood sugar and experience severe low blood sugar episodes. The treatment aims to help manage their blood sugar levels better.

52 Participants Needed

To determine the effect of sympathetic neural and hormonal (epinephrine) input on islet cell hormonal responses to insulin-induced hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetic recipients of intrahepatic islet transplantation. We hypothesize that α-adrenergic (neural) blockage will abolish insulin-mediated suppression of C-peptide, attenuating α-cell glucagon secretion during hypoglycemia, and that β-adrenergic (hormonal) blockage will have no effect. Glucose counterregulatory responses will be measured during hyperinsulinemic euglycemic-hypoglycemic clamps on three occasions with randomized, double-blind administration of the α-adrenergic blocker phentolamine, the β-adrenergic blocker propranolol, or placebo. The demonstration of neural rather than hormonal regulation of the transplanted islet cell response to hypoglycemia is critical for understanding the mechanism for protection from hypoglycemia afforded by intrahepatically transplanted.

This is a prospective randomized placebo-controlled double-blind crossover pilot study determining the effect of dichloroacetate on brain function under clamped hypoglycemia in T1DM.

Trial Details

Trial Status:Recruiting
Trial Phase:Early Phase 1
Age:18 - 55

16 Participants Needed

The objective of this study is to investigate if the addition of a 12-week program of home-based high intensity interval training to a standard educational program aiming at preventing hypoglycemia episodes will restore hypoglycemia awareness in people living with type 1 diabetes and impaired awareness of hypoglycemia to a further extent than a standard educational program alone. Participants will be randomized for 12 weeks to the standard educational program with or without high intensity interval training. The Gold method will be used to identify people with impaired awareness of hypoglycemia. The educational program will consist of two education sessions on avoidance of hypoglycemia, causes of hypoglycemia, treatment (e.g. glucagon) of hypoglycemia, how to better recognize hypoglycemia symptoms, understand how to use a CGM/Flash-GM and understand CGM/Flash-GM reports to adjust insulin doses. Participants randomized to the training program will be asked to train three times per week for 12 weeks following the home-based program that will be provided to them. Participants will be asked to perform at least 2 training sessions per week (ideally all 3 sessions) with the exercise specialist on a virtual platform.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

Arthritis PatientAge: 78

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

Why We Started Power

We started Power when my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I struggled to help him access the latest immunotherapy. Hopefully Power makes it simpler for you to explore promising new treatments, during what is probably a difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Low Blood Sugar Awareness clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Low Blood Sugar Awareness clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Low Blood Sugar Awareness trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Low Blood Sugar Awareness is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Low Blood Sugar Awareness medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Low Blood Sugar Awareness clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Dichloroacetate for Type 1 Diabetes, High-Intensity Exercise for Type 1 Diabetes and VX-880 for Type 1 Diabetes to the Power online platform.
