Conditions:

Type 2 Diabetes

Obesity

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-99 years

Phase:

PHASE4

Brief Summary

The study seeks to explore the cardiovascular effects of co-agonism at the glucagon and (glucagon-like peptide-1) GLP-1 receptor. Glucagon and exenatide will be intravenously infused into participants...

Detailed Description

This is a single-centre, single-blinded pilot study designed to understand the role the GLP-1 receptor agonist, exenatide, and glucagon receptor co-agonism has on normal cardiac physiology, myocardial...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Written informed consent to participate
  • Aged \>18 years
  • Clinical diagnosis of T2DM, either diet controlled or treated with metformin (to be withheld on the morning of the imaging visit)
  • BMI ≥25kg/m2
  • Current non-smoker

Exclusion

  • Females of childbearing potential (Part A only) / current pregnancy (all parts)
  • Sustained Hypertension (sustained BP \>160/100mmHg) or hypotension (systolic BP below 90 mmHg)
  • Clinically significant heart disease
  • Implanted heart pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)
  • Known active malignancy other than skin cancer
  • Known renal failure (creatinine \>150µmol/L)
  • Known type one diabetes mellitus / known or clinically suspected diagnosis of a monogenic form of diabetes
  • Poorly controlled blood glucose
  • Current daily use of anti-diabetic medication including Insulin, GLP-1 based agonists, DPP4i or any other medication known to interact with either of the study drugs (exenatide or glucagon)
  • Current involvement in the active treatment phase of other research studies, (excluding observational/non-interventional).
  • Contraindication for MRI/PET scan, i.e. any reason which precludes MRI imaging according to local policy (ie internal pacemaker/defibrillator, metal fragments, claustrophobia)
  • Participation in research studies in the last 3 years involving radiation (if the effective dose exceeded 10mSv). This does not include any diagnostic or therapeutic exposures which were clinically justified.
  • Any other clinical reason which may preclude entry in the opinion of the investigator
