METabolic MODulation to Enhance Insulin Sensitivity and Mitochondrial Function in Type 1 Diabetes (MetMod-T1D)
University of Washington
Summary
The study is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group clinical trial to examine the effects of 24 weeks of oral AMX0035 (sodium phenylbutyrate + taurursodiol) versus placebo in 60 adults with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) (n=30 per arm). Enrollment will be distributed equally between the University of Washington and Amsterdam University Medical Center/Diabetes Center Amsterdam. Participants will be recruited through diabetes research registries, local T1D clinics, and community outreach.
Description
This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group clinical trial to evaluate the effects of 24 weeks of oral AMX0035 (sodium phenylbutyrate + taurursodiol) versus placebo in 60 adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) (n=30 per arm). Following screening and baseline assessments, eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either AMX0035 or placebo, with stratification by sex and body mass index (≥30 vs. \<30 kg/m2). Participants will undergo comprehensive metabolic phenotyping at baseline and 24 weeks, including hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp studies, body composition imaging, continu…
