NaPB2
Brief Summary:
This clinical trial study aims to evaluate the effects of prolonged NaPB treatment in a maximum of 20 patients with T2D The primary objective is
to investigate if prolonged boosting of ing BCAA oxidation will substantially lower plasma glucose levels in patients with T2D
Participants will undergo a Clinical randomized controlled trial RCT with a double-blinded placebo-controlled cross-over design including a wash-out period of 12 weeks The trial will contain 2 treatment arms with each a duration of 12 weeks
Participants will have a 12-week oral administration of 48 gm2day NaPB in the form of Pheburane or placebo per day Although depending on body surface area 21 g Pheburane needs to be administered spread over the day 3 times taken with a meal

Detailed Description:
Several studies identified branched-chain amino acids BCAA leucine isoleucine and valine to be substantially elevated in people with T2D possibly caused by lower BCAA oxidation rates Plasma BCAA levels are strongly associated with insulin resistance and other key metabolic disarrangements as seen in T2D including mitochondrial function liver fat content and metabolic flexibility We recently showed that stimulating BCAA oxidation for 2 weeks with sodium-phenylbutyrate NaPB treatment -a drug known to accelerate BCAA oxidation- decreased BCAA plasma levels in patients with T2D This reduction in plasma BCAA levels was paralleled with a robust improvement in peripheral insulin sensitivity and muscle mitochondrial oxidative capacity Interestingly a strong tendency was found for lower fasting glucose levels an indication of better glucose control These findings form lead to further evaluating this treatment strategy to improve glucose homeostasis and lower hyperglycaemic conditions in patients with T2D So far this strategy has been tested only in several rodent models reporting promising beneficial outcomes on glucose homeostasis and heart function
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of prolonged treatment patients with T2D will undergo a 12-week NaPB intervention with the aim of substantially lower fasting plasma glucose levels The outcomes of this project evaluate a novel strategy to treat patients with T2D
