NCT02321111

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether pharmacologic inhibition of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) with eritoran for injection (E5564) prevents lipid-induced insulin resistance in lean, normal glucose tolerant (NGT) subjects.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Effect of Eritoran on Muscle Insulin Sensitivity

    Muscle insulin sensitivity = muscle insulin sensitivity is determined by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp procedure. M value (mg glucose / kg of body weight / minute) calculated from the clamp is measured. Higher M value indicates better insulin sensitivity. There is no established reference range.

    72 hours

  • Effect of Eritoran on Hepatic Insulin Sensitivity

    Hepatic insulin sensitivity = is determined by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp procedure. Endogenous glucose production or EGP (mg/kg/min) calculated from the clamp is measured. Lower EGP indicates better hepatic insulin sensitivity. There is no established reference range.

    72 hours

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Effect of Eritoran on TLR4 Expression on Peripheral Blood Monocytes

    72 hours

  • Effect of Eritoran on Plasma Cytokine Concentration

    72 hours

  • Effect of Eritoran on Intramyocellular Diacylglycerol and Ceramide Content

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 65 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Subjects capable of giving informed consent.
  • lean (BMI \<26 kg/m2)
  • normal glucose-tolerant subjects (completers) without a family history of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM)
  • Both genders. (50% males)
  • Age = 18-65 years. Older subjects are excluded because aging is a pro-inflammatory state.
  • All ethnic groups
  • Premenopausal women in the follicular phase, non-lactating, and with a negative pregnancy test. Postmenopausal women on stable dose of or not exposed to hormone replacement for \>=6 months.
  • Lab: Hematocrit \>=34%, serum creatinine \<=1.4 mg/dL, normal electrolytes, urinalysis, and coagulation tests. Liver function tests up to 2x normal range.
  • Stable body weight (+/-1%) for \>=3 months.
  • One or less sessions of strenuous exercise/wk for last 6 months.

You may not qualify if:

  • Presence of diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance based on ADA criteria;
  • Current treatment with drugs known to affect glucose and lipid homeostasis. Subjects on a stable dose of statin (\>3months) are eligible.
  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or systemic steroid use for more than 1 week within 3 months.
  • Current treatment with anticoagulants (warfarin). Aspirin (up to 325 mg) and clopidogrel will be permitted if these can be held for seven days prior to the biopsies.
  • History of heart disease (New York Heart Classification greater than class II; more than non-specific ST-T wave changes on the ECG), peripheral vascular disease, pulmonary disease, smokers.
  • Poorly controlled blood pressure (systolic BP\>160, diastolic BP\>90 mmHg).
  • Active inflammatory, autoimmune, infectious, hepatic, gastrointestinal, malignant, and psychiatric disease.
