A Phase 1b Study of LAPS-Exendin in Subjects of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Trial Summary
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the study team or your doctor.
What data supports the effectiveness of the drug LAPS-Exendin?
What safety data exists for LAPS-Exendin (GLP-1 receptor agonists)?
GLP-1 receptor agonists, like LAPS-Exendin, are generally safe but can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. They have been linked to concerns about pancreatic and thyroid issues, but studies have not confirmed these risks. They do not typically cause low blood sugar unless combined with certain other diabetes medications.678910
How does the drug LAPS-Exendin differ from other treatments for its condition?
LAPS-Exendin is unique because it acts as an agonist (activator) of the GLP-1 receptor, which helps lower blood sugar by stimulating insulin release, reducing glucagon (a hormone that raises blood sugar) secretion, and slowing down stomach emptying. This mechanism is different from other treatments that may not target the GLP-1 pathway or have such a comprehensive effect on blood sugar regulation.3451112
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial is testing a new drug, HM11260C, in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The study aims to see if this drug can help control blood sugar levels by slowing down how fast food leaves the stomach and improving insulin production. Researchers will also check how safe and acceptable the treatment is. An existing diabetes medication, liraglutide (Victoza), will be used for comparison.
