Official Title: Role of GLP-1 In Congenital Hyperinsulinism: Effect Of Exendin-(9-39)On Glucose Requirements To Maintain Euglycemia

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of exendin-(9-39)on glucose requirements to maintain euglycemia in infants with congenital hyperinsulinism unresponsive to medical therapy

Detailed Summary: This is an open label sudy to examine the effect of exendin-(9-39)on glucose requirements to maintain euglycemia in infants with congenital hyperinsulinism unresponsive to medical therapy and to determine therapeutic plasma levels,plasma half life and pharmacokinetics of exendin-(9-39)

Current Primary Outcome: Glucose infusion rate during the last 2 hours of infusion of exendin-(9-39) [ Time Frame: 7-9 hours after start of infusion ]

Original Primary Outcome: Glucose infusion rate over a period of 12 hours [ Time Frame: 12 hours ]

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Plasma glucose 1 hour after initiation of infusion, [ Time Frame: 1 hour after start of infusion ]
  • Insulin Level [ Time Frame: 0,1,5,9,hour during 9 hour infusion ]
  • Plasma levels of exendin-(9-39) [ Time Frame: 1,5,9, +15,10,12,14 hour during and post infusion ]
  • Betahydroxybutyrate levels [ Time Frame: 0,1,5,9, during 9 hour infusion ]


Original Secondary Outcome:

  • Plasma glucagon levels [ Time Frame: 12 hours ]
  • Plasma Insulin Level [ Time Frame: 12 hours ]
  • Plasma levels of exendin-(9-39) [ Time Frame: 12 hours ]
