Cardiovascular Effects of GLP-1 Receptor Activation
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Liraglutide, Sitagliptin, and 3 other interventions for Obesity and PreDiabetes. Completed, enrolled 329 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This project tests the principle hypothesis that stable glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues have specific GLP1R-dependent beneficial effects on vascular endothelial function, fibrinolysis and inflammation in obesity that exceed the benefits of weight loss, and that genetic or other individual factors that modulate GLP1R sensitivity can modify the effect of these analogues on cardiovascular risk.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
subcutaneous liraglutide daily
oral sitagliptin daily
Reduced calorie intake to achieve weight loss.
Subjects in the liraglutide arm will receive a placebo for sitagliptin. Those in the sitagliptin arm will receive a placebo for liraglutide. All subjects will receive a placebo for Exendin 9-39.
All subjects will receive Exendin (9-39) or matching placebo in crossover fashion during study days on the first and third days of the second week after randomization and again on the 5th and 7th days of the 14th week of treatment.
