Gene test could predict who benefits from common diabetes pill

NCT ID NCT04323189

Summary

This small study aims to understand if people with a specific genetic variation that lowers a certain enzyme (DPP4) respond differently to the diabetes drug sitagliptin. Twenty participants, half with the gene variant and half without, will take the drug and a placebo for short periods. Researchers will measure their blood sugar, hormone levels, and heart function after meals to see if the genetic difference changes how the drug works.
