Protocol Number: TTP399-302

Sponsor: vTv Therapeutics

There is an unmet medical need to provide people with T1DM treatment options that help to achieve more normal blood glucose levels without an increased risk of hypoglycemia or ketoacidosis.  With this clinical trial, we are studying a glucokinase activator which is an enzyme critical in the metabolism of sugar. Glucokinase levels drop in persons with diabetes which exacerbate the challenges of blood sugar management; however, clinical evidence indicates that this enzyme, TTP399, activates and regulates glucokinase activity decreasing severe or serious hypoglycemic events while maintaining or improving glycemic control, reducing the risk of ketoacidosis.5   

Summary of Study Details:

This study takes place over approximately 9 months and involves up to 11 visits to the office with approximately 6-11 telehealth visits to monitor progress and adjust insulin doses. Visits are more frequent in the beginning and vary from every 2-12 weeks, with the telehealth visits spread throughout the double-blind treatment period. You will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment arms — 800mg once per day, 800mg twice per day or placebo. You will take 2 tabs with your breakfast and 2 tabs with dinner and the capsules are provided in blister packs.  Your chances of getting active study drug are 66%, placebo 33%.

You will be provided with a glucometer, test strips and a ketone meter with strips. And will also be asked to maintain an eDiary on a study provided Android phone or an app downloaded to your smartphone to capture daily study dosing, symptom information and your insulin usage during the Screening and Treatment Periods. During some visits, patient questionnaires will capture how you feel about your health.

Compensation includes a patient stipend of $125 for each in-office visit and $50 for each phone visit.  If you discontinue the trial, you will be paid for visits completed.

General Eligibility Criteria:

• A1c <9.5%
• Is currently on CSII (closed-loop systems are prohibited; must be on manual mode for 1 month prior to Screening and for duration of the study) or on MDI for at least 6 months prior to the Screening Visit and is willing to stay on same type of insulin treatment and the current mode of insulin administration (CSII or MDI injection treatments) for the duration of the study.
• Must have used a CGM device continuously for at least 3 consecutive months prior to the Screening Visit and be willing to discontinue using the personal CGM device after the second visit and agrees to use a study provided Dexcom G7 with receiver for the duration of the study.
• Has had at least 1 hypoglycemic event of Level 2 (glucose level <54 mg/dL or <3 mmol/L, [CGM or SMBG confirmed]) or Level 3 (defined as a severe hypoglycemia with altered mental state and/or physical status requiring assistance) in the last 2 months prior to the Screening Visit as determined by the Investigator
• Must not have used GLP-1 (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Victoza, etc) or SGLT-2 (Jardiance, Farxiga, Invokana, etc) or other adjunctive treatments for diabetes other than insulin for 90days prior to Screening. Staff will review other prohibited medications that could cause an issue with eligibility.
