Abstract
Introduction and Objective: First-line treatment for youth-onset type 2 diabetes (Y-T2D) does not improve insulin sensitivity (IS) and β-cell function (BCF). This study aims to evaluate phentermine/topiramate (PHEN/TPM) versus placebo on IS and BCF for adolescents with Y-T2D. Methods: A 24-week trial in adolescents, 12-20 years, with Y-T2D was conducted. Participants were randomized 1:1 to placebo or PHEN/TPM, an oral obesity medication. PHEN/TPM was increased to 15 mg/92 mg after 8 weeks. Participants treated with metformin ± insulin prior to enrollment remained on these medications. A 2 hour, 75-gram OGTT was performed at baseline and 24 weeks with assessment of insulinogenic index (IGI; ΔInsulin30/Δglucose30), IS (1/fasting insulin), and BCF relative to IS (oral deposition index [oDI]). Linear regression estimated the treatment effect on IS and BCF adjusted for baseline values. Results: Thirteen participants (mean age: 15.5 ± 2.07 years, 38.5% female) were randomized. Baseline HbA1c was 8.1% ± 1.7 with 53.8% of participants on insulin therapy. The estimated treatment difference (ETD) in oDI, insulin sensitivity and IGI were not statistically significant (Table 1). Conclusion: PHEN/TPM was not associated with significant changes in IS or BCF in adolescents with T2D compared to placebo. A larger sample size may be needed for significant improvements to surface in IS and BCF consequent to adiposity reductions with PHEN/TPM. Disclosure M.O.

期刊介绍:
Diabetes is a scientific journal that publishes original research exploring the physiological and pathophysiological aspects of diabetes mellitus. We encourage submissions of manuscripts pertaining to laboratory, animal, or human research, covering a wide range of topics. Our primary focus is on investigative reports investigating various aspects such as the development and progression of diabetes, along with its associated complications. We also welcome studies delving into normal and pathological pancreatic islet function and intermediary metabolism, as well as exploring the mechanisms of drug and hormone action from a pharmacological perspective. Additionally, we encourage submissions that delve into the biochemical and molecular aspects of both normal and abnormal biological processes.
However, it is important to note that we do not publish studies relating to diabetes education or the application of accepted therapeutic and diagnostic approaches to patients with diabetes mellitus. Our aim is to provide a platform for research that contributes to advancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and processes of diabetes.
