Study to Understand the Genetics of the Acute Response to Metformin and Glipizide in Humans
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Glipizide, Metformin, and 1 other intervention for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2. Completed, enrolled 1,033 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
The SUGAR-MGH investigators are studying the influence of inherited gene variants on the response to two commonly prescribed type 2 diabetes medications, metformin and glipizide. They hypothesize that variants in genes that are associated with type 2 diabetes or related traits may impact the effect of anti-diabetic medications. In addition, physiological responses to an insulin secretagogue or an insulin sensitizer may shed light on the mechanism of action of reported genetic associations.
