Summary

Albiglutide, a novel analogue of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), has been developed and approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The primary objective of this study is to assess if a single dose of albiglutide can affect cholecystokinin-induced gallbladder emptying. To make this assessment, each study participant will receive a dose of albiglutide and a dose of placebo followed by cholecystokinin (CCK) infusion and ultrasound measurement of the gallbladder. The study will be comprised of two periods and 20 subjects. The screening visit will occur within 42 days of the start of Treatment Period 1. The Treatment Periods will be separated by a washout period of a minimum of 42 days. Subjects will return for a follow-up visit after 28 days following the last dose of albiglutide or placebo. The total duration of a subject's participation from Screening to Follow-up will be approximately 17. 5 weeks. This study is a post marketing commitment to the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA).

Clinical Details

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Single-dose, Placebo Controlled, 2-way Cross-over Study Evaluating Effect of Albiglutide on Cholecystokinin-induced Gallbladder Emptying in Fasting Healthy Subjects

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome:

Maximum effect (Emax) on gallbladder EF and volume, before, during and after CCK infusion following administration of albiglutide or placebo as assessed by ultrasonography

Time to maximum response (TEmax) of gallbladder EF and volume, before, during and after CCK infusion following administration of albiglutide or placebo as assessed by ultrasonography

Area under the effect curve (AUEC) of gallbladder EF and volume, before, during and after CCK infusion following administration of albiglutide or placebo as assessed by ultrasonography

Maximum change in diameter of the main pancreatic duct and common bile duct during CCK infusion following administration of albiglutide or placebo assessed by ultrasonography

Secondary outcome:

Composite of vital signs as a measure of safety and tolerability

Composite of clinical laboratory tests as a measure of safety and tolerability

Electrocardiogram (ECG) as a measure of safety and tolerability

Number of participants with adverse events (AE) as a measure of safety and tolerability

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: 65 Years. Gender(s): Both.

- Fasting triglyceride level >300 milligram/decilitre at Screening

- History of cholecystitis or other gallbladder disease

- History of gallstones, biliary motility dysfunction, or any condition rendering the

subject unsuitable for ultrasonography assessments

ileal or gastric surgery, or any other medical procedure that precluded gallbladder emptying

- History of significant cardiovascular or pulmonary dysfunction prior to screening

- History of thyroid dysfunction

- History of intestinal obstruction, ileus, lap-band, gastrointestinal surgery or any

other procedures that in the opinion of the investigator could influence gastric emptying (e. g., gastrectomy, gastric bypass)

- History of severe gastrointestinal disease, including gastroparesis, inflammatory

bowel disease, Crohn's disease, or irritable bowel syndrome

- Unable to refrain from the use of prescription or non-prescription drugs, including

vitamins, herbal and dietary supplements (including St John's Wort) within 7 days

within 30 days, 5 half-lives or twice the duration of the biological effect of the investigational product (whichever is longer)
