RISE Adult Medication Study

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose The RISE Adult Medication Study is a 4-arm, 3-center, clinical trial of adults with prediabetes and early type 2 diabetes to address the hypothesis that aggressive glucose lowering will lead to recovery of beta-cell function that will be sustained after withdrawal of treatment. Adult participants (ages 20-65) will be randomized to one of the following treatment regimens: (1) blinded placebo, (2) blinded metformin alone, (3) early intensive insulin treatment with basal insulin glargine followed by open-label metformin, (4) the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) liraglutide plus open-label metformin. The primary clinical question RISE will address is: Are improvements in ß-cell function following 12 months of active treatment maintained for 3 months following the withdrawal of therapy? Secondary outcomes will assess durability of glucose tolerance following withdrawal of therapy, and whether biomarkers obtained in the fasting state predict parameters of ß-cell function, insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance and the response to an intervention.

Current Primary Outcome Measuresß-cell function measured by hyperglycemic clamp techniques [Time Frame: 3-months after a medication washout] [Designated as safety issue: No]Participants will have 12-months of active therapy and 3-months of washout after which the primary outcome will be assessed.
Current Secondary Outcome MeasuresHyperglycemic clamp and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) measures of ß-cell function and glucose tolerance [Time Frame: 3-months after a medication washout] [Designated as safety issue: No]Measures derived from the hyperglycemic clamp that are not specified as primary outcomes and measures derived from the OGTT.

Brief Summary
The RISE Adult Medication Study is a 4-arm, 3-center, clinical trial of adults with
prediabetes and early type 2 diabetes to address the hypothesis that aggressive glucose
lowering will lead to recovery of beta-cell function that will be sustained after withdrawal
of treatment. Adult participants (ages 20-65) will be randomized to one of the following
treatment regimens: (1) blinded placebo, (2) blinded metformin alone, (3) early intensive
insulin treatment with basal insulin glargine followed by open-label metformin, (4) the
glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) liraglutide plus open-label metformin.

The primary clinical question RISE will address is: Are improvements in ß-cell function
following 12 months of active treatment maintained for 3 months following the withdrawal of
therapy? Secondary outcomes will assess durability of glucose tolerance following
withdrawal of therapy, and whether biomarkers obtained in the fasting state predict
parameters of ß-cell function, insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance and the response to
an intervention.

Study PhasePhase 3
Study DesignAllocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Condition
  • Prediabetes
  • Type 2 Diabetes
InterventionDrug: Metformin
Other Names:
GlucophageDrug: Liraglutide
Other Names:
VictozaDrug: Glargine
Other Names:
Insulin glargine, Lantus
Study Arm (s)
  • Active Comparator: Metformin alone
    Metformin will be titrated to the maximum dose tolerated (up to 2000 mg/day). Participants randomized to the metformin-alone arm will be blinded to treatment.
  • Active Comparator: Glargine followed by Metformin
    Basal insulin glargine for 3 months titrated to achieve a morning fasting blood glucose of 80-90 mg/dl, followed by open-label metformin (titrated up to 2000 mg/day) for 9 months.
  • Placebo Comparator: Placebo
    Placebo - masked to metformin-alone. Placebo will be titrated to the maximum number of tablets equivalent to maximum dose of metformin.
  • Active Comparator: Liraglutide + Metformin
    Liraglutide + open-label Metformin. Liraglutide will be titrated to the maximum dose tolerated (up to 1.8 mg/day) after which metformin will be titrated to the maximum dose tolerated (up to 2000 mg/day).

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Fasting plasma glucose 95-125 mg/dl plus 2-hour glucose ≥140 mg/dl on 75 gm OGTT plus
HbA1c ≥5.8 and ≤7.0%. There is no upper limit for the 2-hour glucose on OGTT.

2. Age 20-65 years

3. Body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2 but ≤40 kg/m2

4. Self-reported diabetes <1 year in duration

5. Drug naïve (no prior to oral glucose lowering agent(s), insulin or other injectable
glucose lowering agents)

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Underlying disease likely to limit life span and/or increase risk of intervention or
an underlying condition that is likely to limit ability to participate in outcomes
assessment

2. An underlying disease that affects glucose metabolism other than type 2 diabetes

3. Taking medications that affect glucose metabolism, or has an underlying condition
that is likely to require such medications

4. Active infections

5. Renal disease (serum creatinine >1.4 mg/dl for men; >1.3 mg/dl for women) or serum
potassium abnormality (<3.4 or >5.5 mmol/l)

6. Anemia (hemoglobin <11 g/dl in women, <12 g/dl in men) or known coagulopathy

7. Cardiovascular disease, including uncontrolled hypertension. Participants must be
able to safely tolerate administration of intravenous fluids required during clamp
studies.

8. History of conditions that may be precipitated or exacerbated by a study drug:

1. Pancreatitis

2. Serum alanine transaminase (ALT) more than 3 times the upper limit of normal

3. Excessive alcohol intake

4. Suboptimally treated thyroid disease

5. Medullary carcinoma of the thyroid or MEN-2 (in participant or a family history)

6. Hypertriglyceridemia (>400 mg/dl despite treatment)

9. Conditions or behaviors likely to affect the conduct of the RISE Study

1. Unable or unwilling to give informed consent

2. Unable to adequately communicate with clinic staff

3. Another household member is a participant or staff member in RISE

4. Current, recent or anticipated participation in another intervention research
project that would interfere with any of the interventions/outcomes in RISE

5. Weight loss of >5% in past three months for any reason other than post-partum
weight loss. Participants taking weight loss drugs or using preparations taken
for intended weight loss are excluded.

6. Likely to move away from participating clinics in next two years

7. Women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to use adequate contraception

8. Current (or anticipated) pregnancy and lactation.

9. Major psychiatric disorder that, in the opinion of clinic staff, would impede
the conduct of RISE

10. Additional conditions may serve as criteria for exclusion at the discretion of the
local site.
