Effect of Exendin-(9-39) on Fasting Adaptation and Protein Sensitivity
Congenital Hyperinsulinism
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Congenital Hyperinsulinism focused on measuring Hyperinsulinism, Hypoglycemia, KATP channel
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Confirmed diagnosis of hyperinsulinism
- Mutation analysis results demonstrating KATP channel defect
- Age 6 months to 18 years with
- Persistent hypoglycemia
Exclusion Criteria:
- Current therapy with medications that may affect glucose metabolism such as octreotide, diazoxide, high dose glucocorticoids, adrenergic agents, etc. Subjects will be eligible to participate if the last dose of octreotide is given 48 hrs before study day 1 and the last dose of diazoxide is given 72 hours before study day 1
- Evidence of a medical condition that might alter results or compromised the elimination of the peptide, including active infection, kidney failure, severe liver dysfunction, severe respiratory or cardiac failure
- Pregnancy
- Subjects with milk protein allergy will be excluded for participating in studies involving protein tolerance test
Sites / Locations
- The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

Vehicle first, then Exendin-(9-39)
Exendin-(9-39) first then Vehicle.
An infusion of vehicle (0.9%NaCl) will run for 60 minutes(time -60 to 0) before starting the study infusion of vehicle or exendin-(9-39). At time 0, vehicle (0.9%NaCl) will be started and will continue for 6 hours. The following day, at time 0, exendin-(9-39) at a dose ranging from 100-500pmol/kg/min will be started and continue for 6 hours. During both infusions, blood glucose, insulin, c-peptide, GLP-1, and glucagon will be measured every 30 minutes.
