Detailed Description:

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)

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   up to 12 Months
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Confirmed diagnosis of congenital hyperinsulinism (based on insulin, beta hydroxybutyrate, and free fatty acid plasma levels at the time of hypoglycemia, and glycemic response to glucagon at the time of hypoglycemia)
  • Age: from birth to 12 months
  • Failure to respond to diazoxide and octreotide (defined as the failure to maintain blood glucose > 70 mg/dL without supraphysiologic rates of glucose infusion:> 4-5 mg/Kg/min)
  • Schedule for pancreatectomy

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Evidence of a medical condition that might alter results, including active infection, kidney failure, severe liver dysfunction, severe respiratory or cardiac failure
  • Current therapy with medications that affect glucose metabolism, such as glucocorticoids, ß-agonists, glucagon, diazoxide and octreotide. Subjects will be eligible to participate 48 hrs after the last dose of octreotide and 72 hours after last dose of diazoxide
