PROTOCOL SUMMARY 
1.1 
SYNOPSIS  
Title: 
A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded cross-over study of the 
pharmacologic action of a GPR119 agonist on glucagon counter-regulation 
during insulin-induced hypoglycemia in Type 1 diabetes mellitus. 
 
Study Description: 
 
This is a placebo-controlled, double-blinded, within-subject, cross-over 
Phase 2a study to test the hypothesis that short term (14-day) 
administration of MBX-2982, a G-protein coupled receptor-119 (GPR119) 
small molecule agonist, will significantly increase the glucagon counter-
regulatory response to hypoglycemia in individuals with Type 1 Diabetes 
Mellitus (T1DM).  
 
Objectives: 
 
 
Primary objective: 
• 
To compare (relative to placebo treatment) the effect of MBX-2982, a 
GPR119 agonist, on glucagon counter-regulatory responses to insulin-
induced hypoglycemia in subjects with T1DM. 
 
 
Secondary objectives: 
• 
To determine whether MBX-2982, through its effect upon glucagon 
counter-regulation, increases hepatic glucose production (HGP) during 
insulin-induced hypoglycemia and during recovery to euglycemia in 
subjects with T1D relative to placebo treatment.  
• 
To determine whether MBX-2982 reduces time of recovery from 
hypoglycemia to euglycemia in T1DM relative to placebo treatment. 
• 
To determine whether there is any effect of MBX-2982 upon other key 
counter-regulatory hormones in T1D relative to placebo treatment. 
• 
To compare the glucagon counter-regulatory response in healthy (non-
diabetic) volunteers during insulin-induced hypoglycemia to that of 
subjects with T1DM treated with MBX-2982 and placebo. 
• 
To compare time to recovery to euglycemia from insulin-induced 
hypoglycemia in healthy (non-diabetic) volunteers to that of subjects 
with T1DM treated with MBX-2982 and placebo. 
• 
To compare the hepatic glucose production response to insulin-induced 
hypoglycemia in healthy (non-diabetic) volunteers to that of subjects 
with T1DM treated with MBX-2982 and placebo. 
 
 
Exploratory objectives: 
• 
To evaluate the effects of MBX-2982 upon fasting and postprandial 
glucagon, GLP-1 and GIP concentrations in subjects with T1DM relative 
to placebo treatment. 
• 
To evaluate the effects of MBX-2982 on patterns of glycemia 
determined by continuous glucose monitoring in subjects with T1DM 
relative to placebo.  
• 
To evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of MBX-2982 in subjects with 
T1DM.

Sites/Facilities Enrolling 
Participants: 
 
The study will be conducted at the AdventHealth Translational Research 
Institute (TRI) in Orlando, Florida, USA and ProSciento, Chula Vista, 
California, USA. Assays will be performed at the TRI, ProSciento 
laboratories, Scripps Mercy Hospital Laboratory, LabCorp and at Covance 
Laboratory Inc. (pharmacokinetic measures). 
 
Description of Study 
Intervention: 
 
Overview of the study design:  
• 
In randomized order, (Latin square, randomly assigned to placebo-
active and active-placebo periods) and in a double-blinded manner, 
T1DM subjects will receive 14 days of daily dosing with a MBX-2982 (or 
placebo), taken at the same time each day after breakfast, except on 
Day 14 and Day 42. The last dose of treatment/placebo will be given in 
the morning (before the tracer) before the euglycemic/ hypoglycemic 
glucose clamp is started. T1DM subjects will undergo two Euglycemic - 
hypoglycemic clamps (induction of controlled hypoglycemia by an 
insulin infusion), using a within-subject cross-over design, with the two 
clamps separated by approximately four weeks, that is, two weeks of 
drug washout followed by two weeks of treatment with the alternative 
therapy.  
• 
After completion of the clamp, participants will not receive any study 
medication for two weeks (washout phase) and will then begin 14 days 
of the other arm medication (placebo or MBX-2982) in a double-
blinded manner, followed by a repeat Euglycemic -hypoglycemic clamp 
study.  During the study blinded CGM will be used to assess daily and 
nocturnal patterns of glycemia.   
• 
On the day preceding a clamp study, while admitted to the research 
unit, a standardized meal test will be used to assess fasting and 
postprandial glucagon, GLP-1 and GIP secretion. 
 
Regarding the clamp procedures, there will be an initial euglycemic run-in 
phase of the clamp (~85 mg/dL), followed by induction and maintenance of 
hypoglycemia (target 50 mg/dL), and then a phase of recovery from 
hypoglycemia. Throughout, glucagon, other counter-regulatory hormones, 
and hepatic glucose production will be measured. Healthy, non-diabetic 
control subjects will be studied on a single occasion and will not receive pre-
treatment medication or placebo; they are being studied to establish 
“normal physiological responses” for comparison to drug and placebo 
treated responses in T1DM. 
Study Duration: 
The study will last 12 months. 
Participant Duration: 
Each T1DM participant will be enrolled for 84±2 days and each healthy 
participant will be enrolled for up to 28 days.

INTRODUCTION 
 
2.1 
STUDY RATIONALE  
 
GPR119 is a X-linked, class A (rhodopsin-like) Gαs receptor expressed on enteroendocrine cells 
and in pancreatic islets for which lysophospholipids and other lipid metabolites have been identified as 
endogenous ligands. Activation of GPR119 stimulates GLP-1 and GIP secretion from enteroendocrine cells 
and insulin secretion by β-cells in a hyperglycemia-dependent manner (3-5). More recently it has been 
reported that agonism of GPR119 augments the glucagon counter-regulatory response of α-cells to 
hypoglycemia (6), also in a glucose dependent manner as it did not stimulate glucagon secretion at 
euglycemia or hyperglycemia. Of relevance, recently reported single cell transcriptional analyses reveal 
that GPR119 is more highly expressed in islet α-cells than on β-cells (7). These emerging novel insights 
into GPR119 biology (and pharmacology) could fundamentally shift perceptions about the therapeutic 
potential of this target. Though the effects of GPR119 small molecule agonists on glucose-dependent 
insulin secretion and incretin secretion have been demonstrated preclinically and clinically, the effect to 
bolster the glucagon counter-regulatory response to hypoglycemia has only been demonstrated in 
rodents and has not yet been tested clinically. 
 
A spike of increased glucagon secretion as plasma glucose levels descend to hypoglycemic 
thresholds (approximately 60-65 mg/dl) is considered a crucial counter-regulatory response. Yet, a 
severely impaired glucagon secretion in the face of insulin-induced hypoglycemia is commonly found in 
individuals with T1DM and is widespread by the time patients have had the disease for more than 5 years 
(8-10). This impairment in glucagon counter-regulation raises risk for hypoglycemia and its severity in 
T1DM. Though the attainment of tight glycemic control in T1DM has been demonstrated to lessen the risk 
of end-organ diabetic complications and of cardiovascular events, intensified glycemic control is 
commonly associated with an increased risk of hypoglycemic events (11). There is considerable morbidity 
caused by hypoglycemia in T1DM and nocturnal hypoglycemia is of a special concern as is hypoglycemia 
occurring in patients with “hypoglycemia unawareness”. More broadly, fear of hypoglycemia is regarded 
as a major barrier to patients achieving tight glycemic control and thereby improving diabetes outcomes 
(12). Similar concerns about hypoglycemia (and impaired glucagon counter-regulation) apply to many 
patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who are reliant upon exogenous insulin and have severely depleted 
β-cell function (12, 13), however, at this juncture our re-evaluation of the therapeutic potential of GPR119 
agonism to enhance hypoglycemic counter-regulation will focus upon T1DM. 
 
The failure of glucagon counter-regulation in T1DM was initially reported by Gerich and colleagues 
nearly 50 years ago (8) and has since been confirmed repeatedly. Extensive clinical research through use 
of an insulin-infusion hypoglycemic clamp has been conducted on hypoglycemic counter-regulation in 
healthy individuals, those with T1DM and those with T2DM (10, 14, 15); we propose to use this procedure 
in the current study. An adaptation of the hypoglycemic clamp (from humans to rodents) was used to 
demonstrate the effect of various GPR119 agonists on glucagon secretion during hypoglycemia in rodents 
(6). 
 
There are no currently approved therapeutics to address the defect in glucagon secretion during 
severe hypoglycemia, apart from the administration of exogenous glucagon which is used as an 
emergency treatment of severe hypoglycemia. Rectifying impaired glucagon secretion could lessen the 
frequency and severity of hypoglycemia seen in T1DM. Several years ago, a salutary effect to bolster 
glucagon secretion was reported using a somatostatin receptor antagonist in a rat model of T1DM (16, 

GPR119 agonist in hypoglycemia in T1DM  
Version 10.0

17), however clinical translation of this effect has not been reported.  As earlier cited, recent research at 
Merck Research Laboratories and in collaboration with investigators at Yale University, reported that in 
rodents, structurally diverse small molecule GPR119 agonists significantly increased glucagon counter-
regulatory response to hypoglycemia, including in a STZ diabetic rat model of severely impaired glucagon 
counter-regulation (6). The goal of this proof of pharmacology (PoP) study is to test the clinical translation 
of this pharmacologic effect, from rodents to humans, and more specifically to those with T1DM. 
 
In considering how a GPR119 agonist might be used by patients with T1DM, we envision that 
GPR119 agonist administration would not be used as an emergency treatment (as is the case for glucagon 
injection or its nasal inhalation), but instead could be taken daily as an adjunct to insulin therapy as 
prophylaxis to reduce the frequency and severity of hypoglycemia. Ultimately, pivotal clinical trials will be 
needed using a GPR119 agonist to test whether this adjunctive approach to insulin therapy reduces 
hypoglycemic events, especially severe episodes. The proof of pharmacology study outlined in this 
proposal would serve as a segue in support of undertaking the larger and longer duration clinical trials 
that measure hypoglycemic events. In this context, we also propose in the current study to collect 
continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to assess whether GPR119 agonist treatment reduces the time 
spent with glucose values < 70 mg/dl, and < 54 mg/dl; these CGM data could help inform the design of a 
subsequent proof of concept clinical trial. 
 
Initial interest in the GPR119 pathway was as a novel target for treating type 2 diabetes (T2DM), 
leveraging its effects on glucose-dependent insulin secretion and incretin secretion and thereby on 
glycemic control; the effect on glucagon was at that time not yet appreciated. Medicinal chemistry efforts 
led to the creation of numerous small-molecule GPR119 agonists, a number of which entered clinical trials. 
Unfortunately, only a modest effect in reducing hyperglycemia was observed in T2DM (17, 18) and this 
effect was not competitive with existing oral therapies. Consequently, further development of GPR119 
agonists as treatment for T2DM was mostly halted. It is noteworthy that GPR119 agonists have been 
generally well-tolerated and found to be safe in the various short-term clinical studies, several of which 
were of 4 weeks duration. Also, it is noteworthy that GPR119 agonist effects on glucose-dependent insulin 
secretion and incretin secretion were demonstrated to translate from rodents to humans. However, the 
effect to mitigate hypoglycemia, and specifically, to augment glucagon counter-regulation was not 
examined in prior trials. In addition to direct effects on α-cell glucagon secretion, GPR119 agonism 
increases secretion of GIP which has been shown to further enhance the glucagon response to 
hypoglycemia (19, 20). 
 
We propose to evaluate the effects of MBX-2982, a GPR119 agonist, on glucagon counter-
regulatory responses during hypoglycemia in a placebo-controlled, randomized, cross-over design clinical 
trial in subjects with T1DM. To our knowledge, GPR119 agonists have not been previously given to subjects 
with T1DM. While our primary goal will be to examine an effect on glucagon counter-regulation in T1DM, 
we also propose to examine any effects on fasting and postprandial glucagon, GLP-1 and GIP. 
 
Success in a proof of pharmacology study with a GPR119 agonist, such as the one that we are 
proposing, would demonstrate to the biomedical community that the GPR119 agonists may have 
therapeutic value to mitigate hypoglycemia in T1DM. Thus, a successful outcome would set the stage for 
subsequent clinical trials of longer duration dosing of a GPR119 agonist (adjunctive to insulin) to assess its 
efficacy to reduce hypoglycemic events and impact upon daily patterns of glucose (e.g. time below 70 
mg/dl and effect on glycemic variation) as measured by CGM.  
Also, if the findings from the current proposal are favorable, further uses of the hypoglycemic 
clamp might be envisioned. For example, might GPR119 agonism alter the glycemic threshold at which

glucagon counter-regulation is triggered? Use of a so-called “stepwise” hypoglycemic clamp platform to 
delineate glycemic threshold could be undertaken. This would provide additional insights into 
mechanisms by which GPR119 agonism might reduce risk of hypoglycemia.  Another example is to conduct 
studies in insulin-treated T2DM who have impaired glucagon counter-regulation and vulnerability to 
hypoglycemia. 
The capacity of GPR119 agonism to augment the glucagon counter-regulatory response to 
hypoglycemia in individuals with T1DM is the focus of this research protocol, a placebo-controlled proof 
of pharmacology study. 
 
2.2 
BACKGROUND  
 
MBX–2982 is an agonist of the G-protein coupled receptor 119 (GPR119) that was initially studied as a 
novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of T2DM, evaluating its dual mechanisms of direct and incretin-
mediated effects on glucose-dependent insulin secretion. As previously described in the Introduction, 
GPR-119 is an X-linked, class A (rhodopsin-like) Gαs receptor expressed on entero-endocrine cells and in 
pancreatic islets, for which lysophospholipids and other lipid metabolites are endogenous ligands. 
Activation of GPR-119 stimulates GLP-1 and GIP secretion from enteroendocrine cells and insulin secretion 
by β-cells in a hyperglycemic-dependent manner (3-5). Clinical studies have demonstrated translation of 
these actions from preclinical models into humans, including those with T2DM (See section on Human 
Experience). Recently it has been reported that agonism of GPR119 augments the glucagon counter-
regulatory response of pancreatic islet alpha-cells (α-cells) (6) to hypoglycemia and does so in a glucose 
dependent manner as it did not stimulate glucagon secretion during hyperglycemia or euglycemia. In 
addition, recently reported single cell transcription analysis revealed that GPR-119 is more highly 
expressed in islet α-cells than on β-cells (7). These emerging and novel insights into GPR119 biology and 
its effects on pharmacodynamics could fundamentally shift the therapeutic potential of this receptor, re-
focusing upon glucagon mediated hypoglycemic counter-regulation. Multiple and structurally diverse 
GPR-119 receptor agonists have demonstrated effects to bolster the glucagon counter regulatory 
response to hypoglycemia in rodents, but this pharmacology has not been tested clinically. 
2.2.1 PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL PROPERTIES 
MBX-2982 was synthesized and screened as a GPR119 agonist. It was found to be capable of activation of 
endogenous GPR119 in a cell line overexpressing the receptor.  MBX-2982 also increased incretin 
hormone levels in animals which may contribute to its glucose lowering effects in a hyperglycemic state. 
MBX-2982 is 5-ethyl-2-{4-[4-(4-tetrazol-1-yl-phenoxymethyl)-thiazol-2-yl]-piperidin-1-yl}-pyrimidine. It 
has a molecular formula of C22H24N8OS, and a molecular weight of 448.55 Daltons. MBX-2982 will be 
used as the HCl salt MBX-2982 in this study. 
2.2.1.1 SALT FORMULATION PHARMACOKINETIC PROFILE  
An HCl salt formulation of MBX-2982 (MBX-2982A) has been identified. Similar to the spray dried 
dispersion (SDD) formulation, MBX-2982A has increased aqueous solubility relative the MBX-2982 
microcrystalline free base formulation. This enhancement of solubility by the SDD and the HCl salt 
formulation, relative to the microcrystalline free base formulation, is thought to provide supersaturated 
drug levels for increased absorption in the intestinal tract. 
 
The pharmacokinetics of MBX-2982A have been assessed following single oral dosing of suspensions to 
rats and dogs. Direct comparisons of the oral exposure of the MBX-2982A and SDD formulations were

made in order to select the range of MBX-2982A doses for the clinic. Single oral doses of MBX-2982A 
suspension at 200 mg/kg in male rats were rapidly absorbed with a mean plasma Cmax value that was 
80% of that for the SDD formulation at the same dose level. The mean plasma AUC values ranged from 
57% (AUC0-48h) to 87% (AUC0-24h) compared to equivalent doses of the SDD suspension. 
 
A cross-over study comparing SDD and MBX-2982A suspensions as single oral doses was conducted in 
male Beagle dogs at 200 mg/kg. Relative to the SDD suspension, MBX-2982A suspensions achieved 67% 
of the Cmax and 56% (AUC0-24h) to 89% (AUC0-∞) exposure parameters. Thus, the single dose oral 
exposure of the MBX-2982A is comparable to the SDD material in both species at 200 mg/kg. 
2.2.1.2 SINGLE DOSE PHARMACOKINETICS 
MBX-2982 was absorbed with oral bioavailability of 36% and 39% in mice and rat following single oral 
doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg, respectively. Absorption appeared to be limited in rats and dogs at the higher 
doses used in the single dose pharmacokinetic and multiple dose pharmacokinetic and toxicology studies. 
No sex differences were noted in dogs; however, the toxicokinetic data from the 4-week repeat oral dose 
study in the rats indicated that exposures in female rats were approximately 2- to 3-fold higher than in 
male rats. Following single dose IV administration, the half-life (t1/2) ranged from 2.4 to 3.1 hours, and 
clearance from 120-156 mL/h/kg for mice and rats, respectively. 
2.2.2 REPEAT DOSE PHARMACOKINETICS 
In repeat dose pharmacokinetic studies in rats, dogs and monkeys, MBX-2982 exhibited non-dose 
proportional, non-linear pharmacokinetics. Systemic exposure to MBX-2982, as measured by Cmax and 
AUC, increased with increasing dose, although the increase appeared to be less than proportional to dose 
in both rats and dogs, suggesting limitation of absorption at higher doses. No marked accumulation of 
MBX-2982 was observed in dog plasma after repeated oral dosing, and no gender differences were noted. 
Exposure in rats was 3-fold higher in females than in males. Minimal accumulation was observed after 
multiple doses in rats. 
2.2.3 PHARMACOLOGIC PROFILE 
MBX-2982 is a GPR119 agonist that binds and modulates the GαS activity of the GPR on pancreatic β-cells 
and enteroendocrine cells. As earlier noted, the original intent in developing GPR119 agonists was to 
exploit its potential to induce glucose-dependent insulin secretion for the treatment of T2DM; the 
pharmacology studies described below are pertinent toward this objective. Studies have demonstrated 
that MBX-2982 effectively reduces plasma glucose excursion during an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test 
(OGTT) in normal mice and rats. Several lines of evidence support a model in rodents in which MBX- 2982 
exerts its actions directly at the pancreas (insulin secretion from β-cells) and in the GI tract (incretin 
secretion from enteroendocrine cells). The pancreatic effects of MBX-2982 were demonstrated by its 
enhancement of glucose-dependent insulin secretion from isolated rat and human pancreatic islets and 
by its dose-dependent stimulation of insulin secretion and glucose utilization in a rat hyperglycemic clamp 
model. Intestinal effects were documented by enteroendocrine-derived increases in active GLP-1 and 
total GIP in normal mice. This effect was enhanced when MBX-2982 was given in combination with the 
DPP-4 inhibitor sitagliptin, when compared to sitagliptin alone. As expected, the increases in incretins 
were accompanied by increases in insulin and by decreases in glucose excursion in response to an oral 
glucose challenge. These latter effects could presumably be due to the combined effects of incretins on 
their receptors and agonism of the GPR119 receptor.

Version 10.0
 
<21Nov2022> 
Protocol v29Sep2022 
 
16 
From a therapeutic perspective, a follow-up study in mice showed that MBX-2982 and sitagliptin are 
additive in lowering the glucose excursion during an OGTT. These combined studies suggest that there 
may be dual or multiple mechanisms responsible for the glucose-lowering effects of MBX-2982, including 
but not limited to direct insulin secretion by islet cells and the stimulation of incretin secretion from 
enteroendocrine cells. Furthermore, the ability of MBX-2982 to lower glucose may be enhanced by a DPP-
4 inhibitor and supports the role of an incretin signal in the mechanism of action of MBX-2982. Female 
leptin-deficient Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats are obese and insulin-resistant but develop diabetes 
mellitus only if fed a high-fat diet (HFD). In this pre-diabetic model, daily MBX-2982 for five weeks delayed 
the onset of post-prandial hyperglycemia and prevented the development of hyperinsulinemia and 
subsequent decline in insulin levels. It also blunted the increase in fasting glucose levels that generally 
occurs after a period of HFD, in conjunction with increasing fasting insulin levels. These effects translated 
to an increase in HOMA-B and a decrease in HOMA-IR in MBX-2982 treated animals on HFD, suggesting 
improved β-cell function and insulin sensitivity, respectively. There was no observed increase in pancreatic 
insulin content or changes in islet cell architecture. 
2.2.4 TOXICOLOGY PROFILE 
The results from in vivo animal toxicity and toxicokinetic studies indicate that MBX-2982 has a very low 
order of toxicity, with a no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) at doses up to 2000 mg/kg in single-
dose studies and 1000 mg/kg in repeat-dose studies (top doses studied). The single and repeat dose 
toxicity studies described below were performed with the microcrystalline free base formulation. 
2.2.4.1 ACUTE TOXICITY 
Single dose toxicity at doses of 250, 750 and 2000 mg/kg MBX-2982 was evaluated after oral 
administration in mice and rats. No test article-related mortality or clinical observations were noted within 
the 14-day observation period. In rats, slight increases (up to 1.6-fold) in cholesterol levels were noted in 
female rats orally administered MBX-2982; these increases were not considered adverse and were not 
observed in mice. Histopathologic examination of tissues from mice and rats administered 2000 mg/kg 
indicated no test article-related changes. The NOAEL in mice and rats following a single oral dose is >2000 
mg/kg. 
2.2.4.2 REPEAT DOSE TOXICITY 
In repeat dose toxicity studies of 1-month duration in both rats and dogs, there were no apparent effects 
of microcrystalline form of MBX-2982 up to doses of 1000 mg/kg/day (NOAEL > 1000 mg/kg/day). 
Specifically, there were no toxicologically meaningful changes in body weight, food consumption, 
necropsy parameters, histopathologic parameters, or laboratory measurements in either species. The 
maximum dose of 1000 mg/kg/day was based on the single dose and multiple dose pharmacokinetic and 
toxicokinetic data which demonstrated that at dosages above 300 mg/kg in rats and dogs, the total 
amount absorbed did not increase markedly with increasing dose, suggesting limitation of absorption at 
higher doses. 
 
Additional repeat dose toxicity studies of 1-month duration in both rats and dogs were conducted with 
the SDD formulation to explore higher exposures. Despite achieving higher exposure than with the 
microcrystalline form of MBX-2982 in both species, no treatment related organ toxicity was identified. 
The only noted adverse effect for either study was decreased body weight gain that was observed in male 
rats at the top dose investigated (230 mg/kg/day) that was associated with an AUC0-24h of 698 μg*h/mL. 
The NOAELs were 75 mg/kg/day in male rats and 115 mg/kg/day, the top dose evaluated in female rats.

17 
These represent approximate 1.8-fold and 2.4-fold increases in the respective previous NOAEL exposures 
(AUC0-24h) from the microcrystalline free base formulation. In dogs, the NOAEL was the top dose 
evaluated, 400 mg/kg/day of the SDD formulation, in both males and females. The associated plasma 
exposures were increased 3.1-fold and 3.3-fold, respectively, over the microcrystalline free base 
formulation NOAEL exposures. While not considered adverse, there was increased emesis and non-
formed feces observed in the MBX-2982 treated dogs. 
2.2.5 SAFETY PHARMACOLOGY 
During safety pharmacology studies with the microcrystalline free base formulation, no neurobehavioral 
effects were observed in male rats treated with MBX-2982. No changes in QT interval were observed in 
an oral safety pharmacology study designed to assess cardiovascular effects in conscious telemeterized 
dogs or in a general toxicology study conducted in dogs. During the conscious telemeterized dog study, 
minimal hemodynamic changes, considered physiologically insignificant, were observed at the highest 
dosages (300 and 1000 mg/kg).  
 
To further enable human studies with the anticipated improvements in exposure due to the SDD 
formulation of MBX-2982, an additional oral safety pharmacology study was conducted with the SDD 
formulation to assess cardiovascular effects in conscious telemeterized dogs with greater exposure to 
MBX-2982. No test article-related changes in electrophysiology parameters, including QT interval, were 
observed in this second study at the top dose (100 mg/kg), which was associated with a Cmax of 13.2 
μg/mL. This represents an approximate 5.1-fold increase over the previous no effect Cmax achieved at 
1000 mg/kg with the microcrystalline free base formulation in the first dog cardiovascular safety study. 
Except for minor and transient higher heart rates compared to control (but not to baseline), there were 
no hemodynamic changes in the oral safety pharmacology study with the SDD formulation. 
 
In vitro assays were performed to evaluate the effects of MBX-2982 on cardiac ion channel and action 
potential durations (APD). In the first assay, effects of MBX-2982 concentrations on the IKr (cardiac 
delayed rectifier repolarizing current) channel were assessed. In this study, the IKr channel was inhibited 
by MBX-2982 in a concentration-dependent manner with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 1.16 
μM (0.52 μg/mL). In the APD assay, MBX-2982 produced no effect on the action potential at a normal 
stimulation rate. At the highest concentration, 20 μM (9.0 μg/mL), a slight but statistically significant 
APD90 prolongation occurred under stimulation rates corresponding to bradycardia and tachycardia. As 
noted above, no in vivo cardiac effects or QT prolongation were observed in the telemetrized dog studies 
or during the 4-week repeat dose dog study. MBX-2982 was not genotoxic in any of the systems evaluated 
2.2.6 HUMAN EXPERIENCE 
 
Phase 1 and Phase 2 Studies in Patients 
In early human studies, as earlier noted, undertaken with the original intent of exploring a potential for 
treating T2DM, MBX-2982 consistently lowered fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glucose excursion 
following a mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) and an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). During a graded 
glucose infusion, MBX-2982 attenuated hyperglycemia and enhanced glucose-sensitive insulin secretion. 
Across the three completed Phase 1 studies, MBX-2982 had variable effects on other biomarkers such as 
GLP-1 and glucagon during an MMTT or OGTT. Four Phase l studies and a 28-day Phase 2 human study 
have been completed and there has been no safety, pharmacokinetic (PK) or tolerability concerns with 
MBX–2982 dosing. A Phase 2 study evaluated sitagliptin as a comparator to MBX-2982. These data

suggested that there may be additional benefit on glucose homeostasis if MBX-2982 is combined with 
sitagliptin. 
 
MBX-2982 was studied in 3 formulations in the clinic. A microcrystalline free base formulation (MBX-
2982), a spray dried dispersion (MBX-2982 SDD) formulation and an HCl salt formulation (MBX-2982A). 
The HCl salt, which had an exposure of 54,600 ng*ml/hr., was deemed the formulation best suited to take 
forward in development. Administration of MBX-2982 HCl salt formulation in single and multiple doses of 
100 mg and 300 mg capsules have been safe and well tolerated.

2.2.6.1 MBX-2982 COMPLETED CLINICAL STUDIES 
 
Table 2: Human studies 
2.2.7 HUMAN SAFETY AND TOLERABILITY PROFILE 
Overall, there were good non-clinical and clinical safety and tolerability profiles with wide safety margins 
against 6-month toxicity studies. PK of the salt formulation was found to be excellent and exposure 
increased in a dose related manner. There was a significant increase in exposure with food relative to 
fasting therefore dosing in this study will be in the fed condition. 
2.2.7.1 SAFETY EVALUATIONS 
In both Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies with MBX-2982 there were no AE or SAE trends, and most AEs were 
mild and few possibly related drug AEs and 1 related. One subject did withdraw consent due to AEs. There 
were no group or individual adverse treatment effects in either safety labs or ECGs. Unblinded individual 
ECG data did not show an imbalance of QTc prolongation and no patient met severe QTc threshold. In the 
Phase 2a study there was no dose-limiting safety or toxicity up to 300 mg for 28 days. 
2.2.7.2 ANALYSIS OF ADVERSE EVENTS 
 
There were no significant differences between MBX-2982 and placebo in the number of subjects with AEs 
overall or the number of subjects with AEs that were judged to be possibly or probably related to study 
drug. Two subjects in the 300 mg cohort experienced symptoms consistent with possible hypoglycemia, 
although in one case the blood glucose was normal and in the other case the blood glucose value was 
mildly decreased towards the end of the OGTT but no different than the mildly low value observed at the 
baseline pre-dosing OGTT. This suggested the possibility of a delayed insulin response to a glucose load, 
as is well described in this population. Nevertheless, these events were captured as AEs. 
 
Constipation was the most common possibly treatment-related AE overall (7 subjects [16%]). The 
percentage of subjects experiencing constipation in the MBX-2982 treated groups (6 subjects [18%]) was

was generally not dose-dependent. An overview of AEs and the incidence of the most frequently occurring 
treatment-related AEs, by treatment, can be found in the Investigator’s Brochure (IB). 
 
No life-threatening AEs, serious AEs, or deaths were reported. One subject in the 300 mg MBX-2982 SDD 
group withdrew due to AEs. The majority of AEs reported were mild. There were no severe AEs (See the 
Investigator Brochure [IB] for detailed information). 
2.2.7.3 LISTING OF DEATHS, OTHER SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS, AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT 
ADVERSE EVENTS 
No life-threatening AEs, SAEs, or deaths were reported (see IB for detailed information). 
2.2.8 SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL AND CLINICAL INVESTIGATIONS WITH MBX-2982 
Non-clinical and clinical studies showed that MBX-2982 has desirable effects on blood glucose levels. 
Nonclinical studies and clinical studies to date including safety pharmacology studies and repeat dose 
toxicokinetic studies, failed to show any significant safety or toxicological concerns. 
Please see the IB for additional details of the nonclinical studies conducted with MBX-2982. 
2.2.9 OVERALL SAFETY CONCLUSIONS 
MBX-2982 dosed daily was generally safe and well tolerated. No clinically significant changes or findings 
were noted in clinical laboratory evaluations, vital sign measurements, physical examinations, or 12-lead 
ECGs for any of the subjects studied or treatment groups. 
 
A total of six subjects (4 at 100 mg and 2 at 300 mg) experienced mild, subclinical increases in TSH (< 10 
μIU/mL) without changes in FT4 or FT3 in one study. The changes in TSH in this study were not observed 
in the subsequent Phase 1c study which produced significantly higher drug exposures. Based upon the 
absence of significant changes in FT4 or FT3, as well as the absence of a thyroid signal in 4-week animal 
toxicology studies, these findings are not felt to be clinically or toxicologically meaningful and may 
represent a spurious measurement. 
 
2.3 
RISK/BENEFIT ASSESSMENT   
 
2.3.1 KNOWN POTENTIAL RISKS  
 
For potential risks please refer to the IB. Some of these potential risks are due to taking the 
investigational drug MBX-2982, and some may be due to the underlying disease or being on placebo. 
Although no significant safety concerns have arisen from the animal or human studies with MBX-2982 to 
date, the compound remains in the early phases of human testing and therefore carries the risk associated 
with a compound with limited human experience. 
2.3.1.1 RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE STUDY PROCEDURES 
 
Intravenous lines/blood draws (lab samples) – there is a risk of pain, vasovagal syncope, hematomas, 
and/or infection at IV insertion/blood draw site (low risk of serious AEs).

Protocol v29Sep2022 
 
21 
CGM placement 
There is a low risk for developing a local skin infection at the site of the sensor needle placement. Itchiness, 
redness, bleeding, and bruising at the insertion site may occur, as well as local tape allergies. 
 
Standardized meal test 
Participants may experience increase of their blood glucose.  
 
Insulin infusion and hypoglycemic clamp 
The administration of insulin intravenously during the euglycemic-hypoglycemic clamp may lead to a 
greater degree of hypoglycemia than expected. Hypoglycemia could be associated with adrenergic and 
neuroglycopenic symptoms, that could rarely cause seizure. The stable isotope of glucose infused during 
the euglycemic-hypoglycemic clamp carries no additional risks. Intravenous infusion of glucose may cause 
venous irritation (phlebitis) or less commonly infiltration of the surrounding tissues, both which may cause 
discomfort. 
2.3.1.2 POTENTIAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INVESTIGATIONAL MEDICATION 
 
Human Safety and Tolerability Profile 
Overall, there were good non-clinical and clinical safety and tolerability profiles with wide safety margins 
against 6-month toxicity studies. The PK of the salt formulation was found to be excellent and exposure 
increased in a dose related manner. There was a significant increase in exposure with food relative to 
fasting therefore dosing in this study will be given in the fed condition. 
 
Analysis of Adverse Events 
There were no significant differences between MBX-2982 and placebo in the number of subjects with AEs 
overall or the number of subjects with AEs that were judged to be possibly or probably related to study 
drug. Two subjects in the 300 mg cohort experienced symptoms consistent with possible hypoglycemia, 
although in one case the blood glucose was normal and in the other case the blood glucose value was 
mildly decreased towards the end of the OGTT but no different than the mildly low value observed at the 
baseline pre-dosing OGTT. This suggested the possibility of a delayed insulin response to a glucose load, 
as is well described in the T2DM population. Nevertheless, these events were captured as AEs. 
Constipation was the most common possibly treatment-related AE overall (7 subjects [16%]). The 
percentage of subjects experiencing constipation in the MBX-2982 treated groups (6 subjects [18%]) was 
only modestly greater than the percentage in the placebo treated group (1 subject [9%]) and the incidence 
was generally not dose-dependent.  An overview of AEs and the incidence of the most frequently 
occurring treatment-related AEs, by treatment, can be found in the IB. 
No life-threatening AEs, serious AEs, or deaths were reported. One subject in the 300 mg MBX-2982 SDD 
group withdrew due to AEs. The majority of AEs reported were mild. There were no severe AEs. (See the 
IB for detailed information) 
 
Listing of Deaths, Other Serious Adverse Events, and Other Significant Adverse Events 
No life-threatening AEs, SAEs, or deaths were reported (see IB for detailed information). 
 
Unknown safety areas 
To date, no in vivo human or animal drug interaction studies have been performed with MBX-2982. Based 
on in vitro data and the anticipated maximum human concentrations, no significant drug-drug interactions 
are expected.

Based upon safety and tolerability monitoring from the 4 phase 1 and 1 phase 2 studies completed to 
date, there are no apparent adverse central nervous system effects of MBX-2982 in humans. No 
neurobehavioral effects were observed in rats. 
 
MBX-2982 was not genotoxic in any of the systems evaluated, but no data are available regarding animal 
or human carcinogenicity. No specific animal or human studies have been performed to determine the 
reproductive and developmental toxicity of MBX-2982. In human studies to date, there have been no 
reported cases of pregnancy in subjects receiving MBX-2982 or in partners of subjects receiving MBX-
2982. There is no information about the effect of MBX-2982 on sperm or its production in the body, nor 
is there information about effects on the development of the fetus. 
 
2.3.2 KNOWN POTENTIAL BENEFITS  
 
The study being proposed is a placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over study design to test 
the hypothesis that short term (14 day +/- 2 days drug administration) of GPR119 will significantly increase 
the glucagon counter-regulatory response to hypoglycemia in subjects with T1DM. 
Participation in this study will not result in any direct benefits to participants, however 
participation in the screening may identify previously unrecognized medical conditions, which may 
provide a general health risk assessment. Subjects will also receive some general medical information, 
including laboratory testing and medical examination. 
 
2.3.3 ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL RISKS AND BENEFITS  
2.3.3.1 MITIGATION OF RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE STUDY PROCEDURES  
 
Intravenous lines/blood draws (lab samples) 
All venipuncture will be conducted by qualified staff using aseptic techniques. 
 
Standardized meal test 
Suggestion for appropriate insulin dosing will be provided to correct abnormal glucose excursion. 
 
CGM placement 
The site of CGM insertion will be periodically monitored and strategies to prevent local skin reaction will 
be suggested such as, but not only, site rotation, liquid adhesive or additional tape. 
 
Insulin infusion and hypoglycemic clamp 
During the clamp studies, a qualified team member (either MD/PA/ARNP and RN) will be present at 
bedside to mitigate any risks of hyper- and hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia will be closely monitored, kept 
within the planned range and severe effects will be rapidly corrected with intravenous glucose. At the end 
of each visit, the participant will receive guidance for glucose monitoring, food intake, and insulin dosing 
as needed. 
2.3.3.2 MITIGATION OF POTENTIAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INVESTIGATIONAL DRUG 
 
The drug was well tolerated and had a very low order of toxicity at the proposed concentration in previous 
human studies and at higher concentrations in animal models.

It is important that women of childbearing potential receiving MBX-2982 in early investigational 
development do not become pregnant for at least 2 weeks after the last dose. As a precaution, women of 
childbearing potential receiving MBX-2982 should use at least one medically accepted method of 
contraception with >99% effectiveness when used consistently and correctly. As the induction potential 
of MBX-2982 on CYP enzymes is not clear. Given that the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives can 
be reduced by CYP enzyme inducers, we recommend that study subjects who are women of childbearing 
potential use a barrier method during the study to prevent unintended pregnancy. In addition, it is 
important that partners of male subjects receiving MBX-2982 should not become pregnant during the 
study. As a precaution, male subjects receiving MBX-2982 should use dual method of contraceptive use: 
medically accepted contraception (e.g., condoms w/spermicide), or their partner should also use a 
medically accepted form of contraception along with condoms during this period.  
 
Although the studies in humans did not show clinically relevant ECG alterations, in vitro studies showed 
potential for QT prolongation. For this reason, ECGs will be performed on Visits 4, 5, 7, 8 during 
investigational medication treatment, in addition to the screening Visit 1. At visits 5 and 8, the ECG will be 
performed during the meal test at the time of predicted drug concentration peak 180 min after taking the 
medication. The QTcF will be manually calculated for each ECG.  
 
Elevated TSH levels were reported in one of the human studies but not confirmed in others. TSH and FT4 
have been added to the safety measures at visit 5 and visit 8 during study treatment. 
 
 
MBX-2982 could potentially affect plasma glucose levels, causing either a reduction via incretin 
stimulation or an increase via glucagon stimulation. The participants will be instructed to check their blood 
glucose with a glucometer before meals and at bedtime. The participants will be instructed on signs and 
symptoms of hyper- or hypo-glycemia, and on appropriate treatment. To prevent the risk of DKA caused 
by a decrease of insulin due to incretin reduction of blood glucose and glucagon potentiation, subjects 
requiring less than 0.3 U/Kg/day of insulin, on a low carb diet or with an episode of DKA in the past three 
months will not be enrolled.  Written instruction on sick day management and on management of unusual 
symptoms associated with alcohol intake, strenuous or prolonged activity will be provided. Urine ketone 
checks will be recommended when blood glucose is >250 mg/dl and whenever the participant is not 
feeling well. If small to moderate amounts of ketones are measured (small to moderate in the urine or 
blood β-hydroxybutyrate 0.6-1.5 mmol/L) the participants will be instructed to contact the research team, 
administer rapid-acting insulin, consume 15-30g of carbohydrate, hydrate with 300-500 ml of fluid hourly, 
check self-monitored blood glucose frequently and ketones every 3-4 hours. If trace ketones are present 
on more than 3 separate days in a 7-day period, the participant will be instructed to contact the study 
team, measure fasting ketone daily and hold the study medication. 
 
Further mitigation of glucose excursions will be facilitated through the weekly review of the CGM patterns 
and adjustment of insulin doses. As much as possible, the basal insulin dose will be maintained at baseline 
levels to prevent DKA 
 
Due to the unknown profile in elderly and children, these categories of participants will not be enrolled. 
Since no specific studies have been performed in patients with renal dysfunction or renal failure, only 
subjects with a glomerular filtration rate >60 ml/min will be enrolled.

STUDY DESIGN  
 
4.1 
OVERALL DESIGN 
 
This research will be carried out as a placebo-controlled, double-blinded, within-subject, cross-over phase 
2a study. 
Overview of the study design:  
• 
In randomized order, (Latin square, randomly assigned to placebo-active and active-placebo periods) 
and in a double-blinded manner, the T1DM subjects will receive 14 days of daily dosing with MBX-
2982 (or placebo), taken at the same time each day after breakfast. The last dose of 
treatment/placebo will be given when the glucose tracer infusion for the euglycemic/hypoglycemic-
glucose clamp is started.   
• 
T1DM subjects will undergo two euglycemic-hypoglycemic clamps (induction of controlled 
hypoglycemia by an insulin infusion), using a within-subject cross-over design, with the two clamps 
separated by approximately four weeks, that is, two weeks of drug washout followed by two weeks 
of treatment with the alternative therapy.  
• 
After completion of the first clamp study, participants will not receive any study medication for two 
weeks (washout phase) and then begin 14 days of the other arm (placebo or MBX-2982) in a double-
blinded manner, followed by a repeat euglycemic-hypoglycemic clamp study. During treatment on 
each arm and during wash out phase, a blinded CGM will be used to assess daily and nocturnal 
patterns of glycemia. 
• 
On the day preceding a clamp study, while admitted to the research unit, a standardized meal test 
will be used to assess fasting and postprandial glucagon, GLP-1 and GIP secretion. 
 
Overview of the hypoglycemic clamp: Regarding the procedures of the clamp, there will be an initial 
euglycemic run-in phase of the clamp, (~85 mg/dL), followed by induction and maintenance of 
hypoglycemia (target 50 mg/dL), and then a phase of recovery from hypoglycemia. Throughout, glucagon, 
other counter-regulatory hormones, and hepatic glucose production will be measured. Healthy, non-
diabetic control subjects will be studied on a single occasion and will not receive pre-treatment

medication or placebo; they will be studied to establish “normal physiological responses” for comparison 
to drug and placebo treated responses in T1DM. 
 
 
 
4.2 
SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE FOR STUDY DESIGN 
 
The study design and procedures were chosen to assess the effect of 14 days of treatment on glucagon 
response to insulin-induced hypoglycemia. The study design allows an ample wash out time to minimize 
the risk of carry-over effects before crossing over the two groups. 
 
A hypoglycemic clamp has been chosen to evaluate the response to hypoglycemia during treatment.  
It is acknowledged by the field that a hypoglycemic clamp does not fully recapitulate all aspects of clinical 
episodes of hypoglycemia occurring under conditions of daily life (such as effects of stress, physical 
activity, altered food intake or variation in insulin dose and its subcutaneous absorption). However, it is a 
controlled, reproducible platform enabling delineation of the counter-regulatory hormonal response and 
lends itself as particularly suitable for paired, within-subject evaluations as we propose to do in evaluating 
the pharmacology of a GPR119 agonist on glucagon counter-regulation. 
 
While our primary goal will be to examine an effect on glucagon counter-regulation in T1DM, we also 
propose to examine any effects on fasting and postprandial glucagon, as well as upon incretin secretion 
(GLP-1 and GIP). We acknowledge that it is improbable much effect upon hyperglycemia will be observed 
in T1DM, given the severity of the deficiency in insulin secretion in T1DM, and given that the effect in 
T2DM was only modest. Yet, the testing is important for several reasons. Firstly, if a GPR119 agonist were 
to elevate glucagon in T1DM under fasting and postprandial conditions, this would be quite unfavorable 
and thus important to know early in its evaluation. Increases in incretin secretion in T1DM (as have been 
observed with DPP-4 inhibitors) could also be potentially favorable, perhaps especially for increased GIP 
which can mitigate risk of hypoglycemia by bolstering glucagon counter-regulation to hypoglycemia; this 
might be most relevant to mitigation of risk for postprandial episodes hypoglycemia in T1DM. 
 
4.3 
JUSTIFICATION FOR DOSE 
 
The dose proposed for this study is 600 mg of MBX-2982 as the HCl salt formulation. Though the dose-

it is uncertain whether this pertains equally to a stimulatory effect on glucagon counter-regulation during 
hypoglycemia. In consideration that the current proposal will be the first study of potential clinical 
translation of this effect previously observed in rodent and the safety of the medication, a dose that 
achieves high exposure of MBX-2982 was chosen to ensure a high level of GPR119 target engagement. If 
positive findings are obtained, consideration will be given to a supplemental study to delineate if doses 
lower (and higher) than 600 mg daily achieve similar or accentuated stimulatory effect on glucagon 
counter-regulation during hypoglycemia.

END OF STUDY DEFINITION 
 
A participant is considered to have completed the study if he or she has completed all phases of the study 
including the end of trial visit seven days after the last dose of the study medication as shown in the 
Schedule of Activities (SoA).

STUDY INTERVENTION DISCONTINUATION AND PARTICIPANT 
DISCONTINUATION/WITHDRAWAL 
 
7.1 
DISCONTINUATION OF STUDY INTERVENTION 
 
The study will be stopped if one of the events leading to participant discontinuation occurs in more than 
15% (n=3) of the planned number of 20 enrolled participants with Type 1 diabetes. 
 
7.2 
PARTICIPANT DISCONTINUATION/WITHDRAWAL FROM THE STUDY 
7.2.1 INVESTIGATOR WITHDRAWAL OF SUBJECTS 
The participation in this study may be stopped at any time by the study PI without the participant’s 
consent because: 
• 
The study Medical investigator thinks it necessary for subject’s health or safety; 
• 
Participant has not followed study instructions; 
• 
The AdventHealth Translational Research Institute has stopped the study; or 
• 
Administrative reasons require the participant’s withdrawal. 
 
A participant will be discontinued/withdrawn if the following occur during study treatment: 
• 
Any episode of Level 3 hypoglycemia according to the ADA classification  
• 
Any episode of Diabetes Ketoacidosis (DKA) defined by serum or urine ketones greater than the 
upper limit of normal range and serum bicarbonate <15 mmol/l or blood pH <7.3 without a 
satisfactory alternative cause for anion-gap acidosis 
• 
Persistent glycemia aberration defined as: 
o Hypoglycemia: ≥ 3 episodes per week of level 2 hypoglycemia (blood glucose ≤ 54 
mg/dL, [3.0 mmol/L]) not prevented by appropriate insulin dose adjustments. 
o Hyperglycemia: Level 2 fasting hyperglycemia (blood glucose ≥ 250 mg/dL [13.9 
mmol/L]) in 4/7 days not prevented by appropriate insulin dose adjustments 
• 
Increase in QTcF to >500 ms or >60 ms over baseline confirmed in at least two ECGs 
 
7.2.2 SUBJECT REQUEST FOR WITHDRAWAL FROM STUDY 
Participation in this study is voluntary. Participants may decide not to participate in this study or may 
withdraw from this study at any time without penalty or loss of benefits. If a participant leaves the study 
before the final regularly scheduled visit, she/he may be asked by the study doctor to make a final visit 
for some ‘end-of–study’ procedures. This is to make sure that there are no safety concerns. 
7.2.3 DATA COLLECTION AND FOLLOW-UP FOR WITHDRAWN SUBJECTS

Version 10.0
 
<21Nov2022> 
Protocol v29Sep2022 
 
35 
Participants who request withdrawal or who are withdrawn by the PI from the study will have their data 
maintained in the research database up to the point of withdrawal. The available data will be included in 
subsequent analysis because a participant may have withdrawn due to possible drug side effects (if 
applicable) and keeping these participants in the analysis is essential for study validity. 
 
7.3 
LOST TO FOLLOW-UP 
 
A participant will be considered lost to follow-up if he or she fails to return for one scheduled visit and is 
unable to be contacted by the study site staff.  
 
The following actions must be taken if a participant fails to return to the clinic for a required study visit: 
• 
The site will attempt to contact the participant and reschedule the missed visit and counsel the 
participant on the importance of maintaining the assigned visit schedule and ascertain if the 
participant wishes to and/or should continue in the study. 
• 
Before a participant is deemed lost to follow-up, the investigator or designee will make every 
effort to regain contact with the participant. These contact attempts will be documented in the 
participant’s study file.  
• 
Should the participant continue to be unreachable, he or she will be considered to have 
withdrawn from the study with a primary reason of lost to follow-up.

Healthy participants will undergo the same procedures of this visit any time between 7 and 28 days after 
screening 
Because moderate and severe episodes of hypoglycemia can have a transient effect of at least several 
days to dampen counter-regulatory responses to a subsequent episode of hypoglycemia (12, 15, 21) the 
clamp procedure may need to be re-scheduled so that a window of at least 5 days without moderate or 
severe episodes of hypoglycemia (blood glucose <55 mg/dl) precedes the clamp study (and supplemental 
study medication can be provided under such circumstances). Subjects will be admitted in the fasting 
state (10hours) to the Research Center in the morning the day prior to the clamp study (which will be 
conducted on the following morning).   
The following procedures will be completed in participants with T1DM and in healthy participants: 
• 
Physical exam 
• 
Height and weight measurement 
• 
BMI calculation 
• 
Vital signs (Heart rate x 2, blood pressure x 2, respirations, temperature) on each day of CRU staying 
•

On the morning of admission, subjects with T1DM will be instructed to withhold long-acting insulin 
injections, and not to eat breakfast (which will be served at the research center after admission). A T1DM 
subject will be asked to monitor blood glucose every four hours (or more frequently) and administer short-
acting insulin to control hyperglycemia. The study physician and nurse will help guide subjects in these 
dose selections. Subjects who are on insulin pump therapy will continue their usual basal rates and 
prandial dosing of insulin delivery since this will clear rapidly once discontinued. 
 
Upon admission to the Research Center, the participant will have an intravenous catheter inserted 
and afterwards will receive a standard mixed meal challenge of consistent composition and calorie 
amount on both admissions, preceded by a pre-prandial dose of insulin. The intervention drug will be 
taken 30 minutes, ±5 minutes window, after beginning the meal. At 30-minute intervals, preceding and 
during the meal, for the next 3.5 hours, blood samples will be obtained according to Table 2.  The key 
objective of this meal study is to examine fasting and prandial glucagon responses while on GPR119 
agonist treatment. After the mixed meal challenge, the IV catheter will be maintained. Subjects will 
receive a weight maintaining, controlled carbohydrate lunch and dinner on the unit. After dinner, research 
subjects will be kept NPO (other than water) and will remain fasting in the morning and until completion 
of the clamp study.

For T1DM subjects, a second catheter might be placed for an overnight infusion of low-dose 
regular insulin to control plasma glucose within a range of 80 to 120 mg/dl. A POC and/or CGM instrument 
will be used for bed-side glucose determinations. To monitor plasma glucose overnight, every 1 to 2 hours 
(more frequently if necessary). Blood glucose sampling/evaluation via CGM/POC will be done to inform 
adjustments of the insulin infusion rate using a previously established algorithm. No further subcutaneous 
insulin use, by injection or via pump delivery, will be used until subjects resume their usual therapy after 
the clamp study. The last medication dose will be taken before the beginning of the clamp. 
 
At the end of the clamp procedure, subjects will be served a meal and observed for two to three 
hours afterwards to monitor blood glucose and for adverse effects of the study. Subjects may receive a 
pre-prandial dose of short acting insulin and will receive instructions from the study physician on re-
starting their usual insulin regimen and any adjustment or changes for that day. Blood glucose levels will 
be monitored every 15-30 minutes until stable or in case of hypoglycemia symptoms. 
 
The study medications will be stopped. The ppt will be wearing a CGM during the wash out phase, 
additional supplies will be provided if needed. In the scenario the participant is not comfortable with 
placing new CGM at home a TRI site visit will be scheduled for a study staff member to assist with CGM 
insertion.

Because moderate and severe episodes of hypoglycemia can have a transient effect of at least several 
days to dampen counter-regulatory responses to a subsequent episode of hypoglycemia (12, 15, 21) the 
2nd clamp procedure may need to be re-scheduled so that a window of at least 5 days without moderate 
or severe episodes of hypoglycemia (blood glucose <55 mg/dl) precedes the clamp study (and 
supplemental study medication can be provided under such circumstances).

EFFICACY ASSESSMENTS  
 
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) 
Starting at Visit 2, participants with T1DM will wear a blinded continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for the 
duration of the study as a safety measure for glucose levels. 
Healthy volunteers will wear the CGM for the 10 days preceding and including the clamps. 
 
The CGM will be placed by a member of the study team (unless the participants is familiar and prefers to 
do it on their own), participants will be instructed on the use and removal of the device, as well as 
reinsertion of the device as needed. During CGM wear, participants will be instructed to perform standard 
fingerstick glucose measurements and/or continue with personal CGM to manage their blood glucose. 
Participants will be encouraged to document their blood glucose levels and insulin coverage on a home 
Glucose/Insulin log, for review by the medical study staff. The FDA-approved system (Dexcom) includes a 
sensor and transmitter. It measures interstitial fluid glucose levels in the range of 40 mg/dl to 400 mg/dl 
every 5 minutes. 
 
Standardized meal test 
Upon admission to the TRI or ProSciento, the participants will have an intravenous catheter inserted and 
afterwards will receive a standard mixed meal challenge of consistent composition and calorie amount on 
both admissions. The meal will comprise 25% of daily calorie requirement with a 48-50% Kcal from 
carbohydrate, 35% from fat and 15-17%% from proteins. The meal will be preceded by a pre-prandial dose 
of insulin calculated based on the participant insulin to carbohydrate ratio. 15 minutes prior to the start 
of the meal, a baseline sample will be drawn. From the start of meal, for the next 3.5 hours, at 30-minute 
intervals, blood samples will be obtained for glucose, glucagon, total GLP-1 and total GIP, and the study 
drug plasma levels (PK). The key objective of this meal study is to examine fasting and prandial glucagon 
responses while on GPR119 agonist treatment.

Version 10.0
 
<21Nov2022> 
Protocol v29Sep2022 
 
42 
ECG will be performed during the meal test at the time of predicted drug concentration peak, 180 minutes, 
±5minutes window, after taking the medication. 
 
Euglycemic and hypoglycemic clamp procedures 
At approximately 6 a.m., a primed, continuous infusion of [6,6] di-deuterated glucose will be started to 
enable determination of hepatic glucose production (HGP) and systemic glucose utilization via the glucose 
isotope dilution method; at least 2.5 hours will be allowed for isotope equilibration. The principal target 
of glucagon action is the liver, and HGP more specifically, and assessing this parameter will give 
physiological context to any observed changes in glucagon secretion during induced hypoglycemia.  
At about 6 a.m. T1DM subjects will take the final dose of the study medication. A catheter will be placed 
in a vein on contralateral hand or arm and the arm warmed (via heating box or warming pad) to achieve 
“arterialization” of blood samples. Around 8:30am, shortly before the clamp insulin infusion start, the 
overnight insulin infusion will be discontinued. The euglycemic portion of the clamp will commence with 
insulin infusion at a constant rate of 25 mU/min∙m2. Blood / plasma glucose will be measured every 5 
minutes and allowed to decrease until it reaches a value of approximately 90 mg/dl, at which point a 20% 
dextrose (D20) spiked with [6,6] di-deuterated glucose will be given (glucose infusion rate; GINF), at an 
adjustable rate, in order to maintain blood glucose at approximately 85 mg/dl. At approximately 9:30 a.m. 
(or following at least 15 minutes of stable euglycemia, operationally defined as 85 ± 10 mg/dl, 3 sets of 
blood samples at 10 min intervals will be obtained for glucagon, insulin, catecholamines, cortisol, growth 
hormone, GLP-1 and GIP, and glucose enrichment.  
Subsequent to the 3rd baseline sample, the GINF will be stopped, the 25 mU/min-m2 insulin infusion will 
be continued, and the hypoglycemic portion of the clamp study will begin. Blood glucose will be allowed 
to decrease over ~30 min until values of 50 to 55mg/dl are observed and then will be maintained at this 
level for approximately 30 minutes by infusion of D20. Mild fluctuation of blood glucose values during the 
hypoglycemic portion of the clamp can be expected. As the blood glucose values approach the target level 
of hypoglycemia, an adjustable rate GINF infusion can be started at a low rate to prevent overshoot into 
more severe hypoglycemia and GINF adjusted as needed to maintain the target level of hypoglycemia. 
Blood sampling for glucose will occur every 5 minutes and at every 10 minutes for a panel of hormones 
and metabolite determinations (as described above). A questionnaire will be administered during the 
study to quantitate autonomic symptoms as the sum of scores ranging from 0 (none) to 5 (severe) for 
each of the following symptoms: anxiety, palpitations, sweating, tremor, hunger, and tingling.  
After 30 minutes of sustained hypoglycemia, the insulin infusion will be discontinued, and the recovery 
phase of the clamp will start. Including the time needed to reach hypoglycemia (induction), it is estimated 
that this hypoglycemic phase of the clamp will be approximately 60 minutes. The time to recover to 
euglycemia (operationally defined as a target blood glucose of 85+/- 5 mg/dL) will be ascertained. Once 
insulin infusion has been stopped, to prevent potential further decline in plasma glucose, GINF will initially 
be continued, at least until plasma glucose has risen above 70 mg/dl, at which point GINF will be rapidly 
tapered and discontinued over the next 10 minutes.  GINF will not be re-instituted unless plasma glucose 
declines again into the range of 50 mg/dl. In situations where blood glucose values decrease remain less 
than 50 mg/dl, at any time during the recovery phase, additional glucose will be given as a safety measure. 
Blood samples for glucagon, counter-regulatory hormones and glucose enrichment will be obtained every 
10 minutes for 30 minutes, then every 30 minutes during the recovery period. The recovery phase of the 
study will continue until one hour into recovery, at which point a meal will be provided, and blood glucose 
values monitored until euglycemic values are attained. 
Samples for PK studies will also be obtained.

Glucagon and other hormone assays will be done using the paired samples from the two studies 
performed in each T1DM subject to reduce inter-assay variations. Because it has long been recognized 
that glucagon assays can be difficult, and can have relatively high levels of non-specific background, 
particular care will be made to select the most accurate available glucagon assay(s), and depending upon 
sample requirements, to run these in duplicate or triplicate.   
PK determinations of study drug concentrations will be done by the pharmaceutical partner. 
Additional plasma samples obtained during the clamp (baseline, end of euglycemic clamp, end of 
hypoglycemic phase, end of recovery) will be archived.

Assessment of adverse events. See below. 
9.1 
ADVERSE EVENTS AND SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS 
9.1.1 DEFINITION OF ADVERSE EVENTS (AE) 
Adverse event means any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of an intervention in 
humans, whether or not considered intervention-related (21 CFR 312.32 (a)). 

GPR119 agonist in hypoglycemia in T1DM  
Version 10.0
 
<21Nov2022> 
Protocol v29Sep2022 
 
46 
9.1.2 DEFINITION OF SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS (SAE)  
An adverse event (AE) or suspected adverse reaction is considered "serious" if, in the view of either the 
investigator or sponsor, it results in any of the following outcomes: death, a life-threatening adverse 
event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, a persistent or significant 
incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, or a congenital 
anomaly/birth defect. Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or 
require hospitalization may be considered serious when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they 
may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the 
outcomes listed in this definition. 
 
9.1.3 CLASSIFICATION OF AN ADVERSE EVENT 
9.1.3.1 SEVERITY OF EVENT 
Adverse event severity will be graded as follows: 
 
• 
Mild – Events require minimal or no treatment and do not interfere with the participant’s daily 
activities.  
• 
Moderate – Events result in a low level of inconvenience or concern with the therapeutic 
measures. Moderate events may cause some interference with functioning. 
• 
Severe – Events interrupt a participant’s usual daily activity and may require systemic drug 
therapy or other treatment. Severe events are usually potentially life-threatening or 
incapacitating.  Of note, the term “severe” does not necessarily equate to “serious”. 
 
9.1.3.2 RELATIONSHIP TO STUDY INTERVENTION 
 
All adverse events (AEs) will have their relationship to study intervention assessed by the clinician who 
examines and evaluates the participant based on temporal relationship and his/her clinical judgment. The 
degree of certainty about causality will be graded using the categories below. In a clinical trial, the study 
product must always be suspect. 
 
• 
Definitely Related – There is clear evidence to suggest a causal relationship, and other possible 
contributing factors can be ruled out. The clinical event, including an abnormal laboratory test 
result, occurs in a plausible time relationship to study intervention administration and cannot be 
explained by concurrent disease or other drugs or chemicals. The response to withdrawal of the 
study intervention (de-challenge) should be clinically plausible. The event must be 
pharmacologically or phenomenologically definitive, with use of a satisfactory re-challenge 
procedure if necessary. 
• 
Probably Related – There is evidence to suggest a causal relationship, and the influence of other 
factors is unlikely. The clinical event, including an abnormal laboratory test result, occurs within a 
reasonable time after administration of the study intervention, is unlikely to be attributed to 
concurrent disease or other drugs or chemicals, and follows a clinically reasonable response on 
withdrawal (de-challenge). Re-challenge information is not required to fulfill this definition. 
• 
Potentially Related – There is some evidence to suggest a causal relationship (e.g., the event 
occurred within a reasonable time after administration of the trial medication). However, other 
factors may have contributed to the event (e.g., the participant’s clinical condition, other 
concomitant events). Although an AE may rate only as “possibly related” soon after discovery, it

can be flagged as requiring more information and later be upgraded to “probably related” or 
“definitely related”, as appropriate. 
• 
Unlikely to be related – A clinical event, including an abnormal laboratory test result, whose 
temporal relationship to study intervention administration makes a causal relationship 
improbable (e.g., the event did not occur within a reasonable time after administration of the 
study intervention) and in which other drugs or chemicals or underlying disease provides plausible 
explanations (e.g., the participant’s clinical condition, other concomitant treatments). 
• 
Not Related – The AE is completely independent of study intervention administration, and/or 
evidence exists that the event is definitely related to another etiology. There must be an 
alternative, definitive etiology documented by the clinician. 
 
9.1.3.3 EXPECTEDNESS  
 
The PI and medical investigator will be responsible for determining whether an adverse event (AE) is 
expected or unexpected. An AE will be considered unexpected if the nature, severity, or frequency of the 
event is not consistent with the risk information previously described for the study intervention as 
reported in the IB. 
9.1.4 TIME PERIOD AND FREQUENCY FOR EVENT ASSESSMENT AND FOLLOW-UP 
 
The occurrence of an adverse event (AE) or serious adverse event (SAE) may come to the attention of 
study personnel during study visits, and interviews of a study participant presenting for medical care, or 
upon review by a study monitor. 
 
All AEs including local and systemic reactions not meeting the criteria for SAEs will be captured on the 
appropriate case report form (CRF). Information to be collected includes event description, time of onset, 
clinician’s assessment of severity, relationship to study product (assessed only by those with the training 
and authority to make a diagnosis), and time of resolution/stabilization of the event. All AEs occurring 
after signing the informed consent must be documented appropriately regardless of relationship. All AEs 
will be followed to adequate resolution. 
 
Changes in the severity of an AE will be documented to allow an assessment of the duration of the event 
at each level of severity to be performed. AEs characterized as intermittent require documentation of 
onset and duration of each episode. 
 
A study team member will record all reportable events with start dates occurring any time after informed 
consent is obtained until 7 days after the last day of administration of the medication. At each study visit, 
a research team member   will be responsible for notifying the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of any 
unexpected fatal or life-threatening suspected adverse reaction as soon as possible, but in no case later 
than 7 calendar days after the initial acquisition of the information.

Protocol v29Sep2022 
 
48 
High and low glycemic events will be recorded by CGM and through the participant’s history and glucose 
log at each visit. Hypoglycemia will be defined and recorded according to the American Diabetes 
Association guidelines (Level 1 hypoglycemia is defined as a measurable glucose concentration <70 
mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) but ≥54 mg/dL (3.0 mmol/L). Level 2 hypoglycemia (defined as a blood glucose 
concentration <54 mg/dL [3.0 mmol/L]) is the threshold at which neuroglycopenic symptoms begin to 
occur and requires immediate action to resolve the hypoglycemic event. Level 3 hypoglycemia is defined 
as a severe event characterized by altered mental and/or physical functioning that requires assistance 
from another person for recovery. Hypoglycemic events are among the endpoints measured to evaluate 
the effects of MBX-2982 on patterns of glycemia as described in section 3. 
9.1.7 REPORTING OF PREGNANCY  
 
Pregnancy in a study participant will be reported among adverse events and reported to the IRB and 
regulatory agencies. 
The study medication will be discontinued, and no additional study tests will be done, while continuing 
safety follow up.

UNANTICIPATED PROBLEMS 
 
9.2.1 DEFINITION OF UNANTICIPATED PROBLEMS (UP) 
 
The Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) considers unanticipated problems involving risks to 
participants or others to include, in general, any incident, experience, or outcome that meets all of the 
following criteria: 
 
• 
Unexpected in terms of nature, severity, or frequency given (a) the research procedures that are 
described in the protocol-related documents, such as the Institutional Review Board (IRB)-
approved research protocol and informed consent document; and (b) the characteristics of the 
participant population being studied; 
• 
Related or possibly related to participation in the research (“possibly related” means there is a 
reasonable possibility that the incident, experience, or outcome may have been caused by the 
procedures involved in the research); and 
• 
Suggests that the research places participants or others at a greater risk of harm (including 
physical, psychological, economic, or social harm) than was previously known or recognized. 
 
9.2.2  UNANTICIPATED PROBLEM REPORTING  
 
The investigator will report unanticipated problems (UPs) to the reviewing Institutional Review Board 
(IRB). The UP report will include the following information: 
 
• 
Protocol identifying information: protocol title and number, PI’s name, and the IRB project 
number; 
• 
A detailed description of the event, incident, experience, or outcome;  
• 
An explanation of the basis for determining that the event, incident, experience, or outcome 
represents an UP;

Version 10.0
 
<21Nov2022> 
Protocol v29Sep2022 
 
49 
• 
A description of any changes to the protocol or other corrective actions that have been taken or 
are proposed in response to the UP. 
 
To satisfy the requirement for prompt reporting, UPs will be reported using the following timeline:   
 
• 
UPs that are serious adverse events (SAEs) will be reported as described above (see SAE 
reporting). 
• 
Any other UP will be reported to the IRB within 10 days of the investigator becoming aware of 
the problem.  
• 
All UPs should be reported to appropriate institutional and regulatory officials (as required by an 
institution’s written reporting procedures), the supporting agency head (or designee), and the 
Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) within 10 business days, of the IRB’s receipt of 
the report of the problem from the investigator per the guidelines per AH policy. 
 
The TRI has a standing committee that meets monthly to review all adverse events in our clinical trials 
and will additionally be charged with review of the study. ProSciento will report adverse events to TRI 
monthly. SAE/Unanticipated/Pregnancy events will be reported via email/call during working hours. 
After hours ProSciento will contact our on call line 407-303-7100 or Dr. Richard Pratley via cell.

10 STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS  
 
10.1 STATISTICAL HYPOTHESES 
 
For the primary endpoints, we hypothesize that the medication (14-day administration of MBX-2982) will 
increase the measured glucose counter-regulation to hypoglycemia expressed as the maximal glucagon 
concentration, AUC, and Incremental AUC (iAUC) for glucagon during hypoglycemia compared to placebo. 
For the secondary endpoints, we hypothesize that the medication: 
• 
will increase hepatic glucose production during insulin-induced hypoglycemia and during a 
subsequent recovery to euglycemia; 
• 
will reduce the time of recovery from hypoglycemia to euglycemia; 
• 
will increase other counter-regulatory hormones; 
• 
the above-mentioned effects will approach the counter-regulatory response in healthy (non-
diabetic) volunteers during insulin-induced hypoglycemia; 
Exploratory analysis will: 
• 
evaluate for any effects of a GPR119 agonist upon fasting and/or postprandial glucagon 
concentrations in T1DM, together with potential effects on fasting and postprandial, GLP-1 and 
GIP; 
• 
collect data patterns of glycemia of participants with T1DM while are receiving daily therapy with 
a GPR119 agonist (or placebo); 
• 
evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of MBX-2982 in participants with T1DM. 
10.1.1.1 PRIMARY EFFICACY ENDPOINT(S):

<21Nov2022> 
Protocol v29Sep2022

• 
Maximal glucagon concentration during hypoglycemia 
• 
Total area under the curve (AUC) for glucagon during hypoglycemia  
• 
Incremental AUC for glucagon during hypoglycemia above baseline levels during euglycemia 
10.1.1.2 SECONDARY EFFICACY ENDPOINT(S): 
 
• 
HGP during insulin-induced hypoglycemia 
• 
HGP during recovery form insulin-induced hypoglycemia to euglycemia  
• 
Time of recovery from hypoglycemia (time to reach 85 mg/dL 
• 
Plasma levels of counter regulatory hormones during hypoglycemia: epinephrine, cortisol, GH 
 
10.1.1.3 EXPLORATORY ENDPOINT(S): 
 
• 
Levels of GLP-1, GIP in fasting and post-prandial conditions 
• 
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) indices of glycemic control including hypoglycemia 
(percent of time < 70 mg/dL, < 54 mg/dL), hypoglycemic events, mean glucose, percent of time 
70-180 mg/dL, percent of time > 180 mg/dL, percent of time > 250 mg/dL, glycemic variability. 
• 
MBX-2982 plasma levels 
 
10.2 SAMPLE SIZE DETERMINATION 
It is not precisely known how much of an improvement in glucagon counter-regulation is needed to be 
clinically significant for mitigating risk of hypoglycemia. Restoring glucagon counter-regulation to levels 
observed in people without diabetes would meet and quite likely exceed expectations, this may be too 
high a bar by which to judge success or failure in this initial short-term study. We estimate that a lower 
boundary of meaningful therapeutic effect would be at least a 30% increase in glucagon counter-
regulation and have used this criterion to estimate sample size for the current study. 
 
According to a published study that measured glucagon counter-regulation to hypoglycemia in T1DM (19), 
of the 28 T1DM subjects, the maximal glucagon concentration in placebo treated T1DM group during 
hypoglycemia was 23 pmol/l, while the standard deviation was 10.4 pmol/l. To apply these statistics in 
the current crossover design, 16 subjects are required to detect a 30% increase (6.9 pmol/l) in the GPR119 
agonist treated group compared to a placebo treated group, this will have an 0.8 power, assuming a 0.5 
correlation coefficient between two treatments within the same subjects, and a one-sided paired t-test 
at 0.05 significant level. Accounting for a potential (up-to) 25% dropout rate, 20 T1DM subjects are 
expected to be recruited to the current study.  A sample size of 9 Healthy subjects should be adequate to 
establish the normative (descriptive) data using the same assays and clamp procedures as being used for 
T1DM. 
10.3 RANDOMIZATION 
Randomization schedule based on the two-treatment, two-period, two-sequence cross-over design for 
20 patients will be generated by a biostatistician using SAS (9.4). The treatment assignments will be 
coded as A or B. This information will only be released as the patients are enrolled. The message 
communicating group assignment will be saved in the subject’s study file.

Version 10.0
 
<21Nov2022> 
Protocol v29Sep2022 
 
51 
10.4 BLINDING 
The randomization schedule will be delivered to the pharmacist, who is the only unblinded person of the 
study. The TRI pharmacist will provide the randomization schedule to the ProSciento pharmacist. Then 
the pharmacist will determine the treatment assignments (placebo or GPR119) based on the treatment 
codes (A or B). The unblinded pharmacist will prepare the study drug, and then give to the designated 
staff member for administration. Allocation concealment, unexpected and/or severe adverse events will 
be reported to the AdventHealth Orlando IRB or ProSciento’s IRB of record.  
 
10.4.1 INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD 
Prior to study initiation the protocol and the informed consent documents will be reviewed and 
approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of record. Any amendment to the protocol or consent 
materials must also be approved by the IRB before they are implemented.  
The study will be reviewed and overseen by the AdventHealth Orlando Institutional Review Board for 
the Translational Research Institute The study will be reviewed and overseen by ProSciento’s IRB of 
record for ProSciento. 
10.4.2 DATA AND SAFETY MONITORING BOARD (DSMB) OR EQUIVALENT 
Not required. 
10.4.3 MONITORING PLAN 
Clinical trial monitoring is conducted to ensure that the rights and well-being of trial participants are 
protected.  Reported trial data are accurate, complete and verifiable.   
Clinical trial monitoring will be conducted by AdventHealth Office of Research Integrity monitoring 
team to ensure compliance with all applicable federal and state regulations, ICH GCP E6 (R2) standards 
and approved protocol.  This study will be monitored using a risk-based approached.  A monitoring plan 
will be created to ensure patient safety, data quality and integrity is ongoing throughout the life of the 
study.  The frequency and elements of monitoring will be outlined in the monitoring plan.  The monitor 
will ensure study is conducted, recorded and reported as required by federal regulations and IRB of 
record.  Monitoring will be conducted on-site and/or remote.  After completion of site monitoring, a 
report will be provided to PI and study team.  The PI and study team are required to review the report 
and work on significant findings or discrepancies to resolution.  If any findings are required to be 
reported to the IRB, the PI will be made aware and prompted to self-report.  All serious and continuing 
non-compliance is shared with the Research Oversight Committee who may require appropriate 
actions. 
 
10.4.4 QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL 
 
We attest that all AdventHealth Translational Research Institute faculty and staff and ProSciento staff will 
be trained, and this training will be documented as described in AdventHealth Translational Research 
Institute Work Instruction 031.100.015 Documentation of Protocol Training and ProSciento.   
 

GPR119 agonist in hypoglycemia in T1DM  
Version 10.0
 
<21Nov2022> 
Protocol v29Sep2022 
 
52 
We will implement regular, ongoing discussions between the PI and coordinator as per the AdventHealth 
Translational Research Institute SOP 030.000.002 Oversight of Research Studies at the Translational 
Research Institute. The coordinator will review source and communicate with all applicable study team 
members involved in the study on a regular basis regarding reportable new information, implementing 
amendments, study progress, and quality assurance/control. 
 
We will implement regular, ongoing discussions between the ProSciento PI and ProSciento coordinator. 
The ProSciento coordinator will review source and communicate with all applicable study team members 
involved in the study on a regular basis regarding reportable new information, implementing 
amendments, study progress, and quality assurance/control. 
 
The AdventHealth Translational Research Institute facilities and ProSciento have state of the art and  have 
within each building all required resources and staff to execute the study. The TRI has a Medical Oversight 
team, Medical Oversight Committee, as well as a Quality Committee to appropriately monitor and address 
adverse events. 
 
The AdventHealth Translational Research Institute and research team assigned to this protocol will meet 
prior to initiation to assure that the team members’ roles and the required timelines are clear. Protocol 
specific training will be carried out with the research team members designated in the Delegation of 
Authority Log. Re-training will occur at any time IRB reviewed and approved amendments or revisions to 
this protocol are made. Documentation of all training will be kept in the regulatory binder. 
 
10.5 MATERIALS OF HUMAN ORIGIN:  COLLECTION, PREPARATION, HANDLING AND 
SHIPPING 
The study will collect and archive biological specimens (blood, urine) from the study participants to 
achieve the study endpoints and for safety purposes. Any diagnostic testing will be performed at a CLIA 
accredited lab.  
Biospecimens collected for study-related endpoints, will be analyzed/tested:  both at AdventHealth 
Orlando and outside laboratories/institutions. Assays for pharmacokinetic endpoints on de-identified 
samples will be performed at Covance Laboratory Inc. 
Additionally, remaining biospecimens will be archived for any additional hypothesis-related 
experimentation or testing for this study, which cannot be predicted at the time the protocol is 
developed. Furthermore, if there are any left-over biospecimens after completing the endpoints 
described above, any left-over biospecimens may be archived for other research (not for this study), of 
any type (without limitation to disease, process, or research methods).  This other research can take 
place at AdventHealth Orlando or at outside institutions. 
Lastly, a predetermined amount of biospecimen samples will be collected specifically for archiving for 
future use, such as other research (not for this study), of any type (without limitation to disease, 
process, or research methods).  This other research can take place at AdventHealth Orlando or outside 
institutions. 

GPR119 agonist in hypoglycemia in T1DM  
Version 10.0
 
<21Nov2022> 
Protocol v29Sep2022 
 
53 
The biospecimens collected for this study will be separated into biospecimen samples that will be used 
for the study and biospecimen samples that were collected to be archived for future use.  After study 
aims have been achieved and study related endpoints have been measured and analyzed, any remaining 
biospecimens will be stored at the TRI Biorepository and will also be considered as “archived 
biospecimens.”  Archived biospecimens will be used for any additional hypothesis-related 
experimentation or testing for the purposes of this study, consistent with the original aims, which 
cannot be predicted at the time the protocol is developed due to the evolving nature of scientific 
exploration.   
Additionally, archived biospecimen samples may be stored indefinitely for future research.  Archived 
biospecimens could be used for separate research by both AdventHealth Orlando scientists and 
scientists outside of AdventHealth Orlando.  This would be allowed for research of any type (without 
limitation to disease, process, or research methods) if it has scientific merit as determined by the TRI 
Scientific Review Committee.    For research outside of AdventHealth Orlando, a Material Transfer 
Agreement will be obtained, which will govern the transfer and chain of custody of the biospecimens 
outside of ADVENTHEALTH ORLANDO. Some of the endpoint testing will be conducted at outside 
laboratories/institutions.  To perform these analyses/testing/etc. and to interpret results, certain data 
elements will need to be shared along with the biospecimen samples.  Data Use Agreements (DUAs) will 
be obtained, which will identify the specific data elements to be shared and will govern the sharing of 
data related to this study.  Data will be de-identified, but a link/code is managed within an electronic 
research management system and maintained by the research team.  
Should archived biospecimens be needed for research outside of AdventHealth Orlando and certain data 
elements that are connected to the archived biospecimen samples are needed to conduct the research, 
then Data Use Agreement(s) will be obtained.  The Data Use Agreement(s) will identify the purpose for 
data sharing, the specific data elements to be shared, and will govern the sharing of data related to this 
study.  Data will be de-identified, but a link/code is managed within an electronic research management 
system and maintained by the research team. 
 
10.6 DATA HANDLING AND RECORD KEEPING  
 
10.6.1 DATA COLLECTION AND MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES  
 
The AdventHealth Translational Research Institute will act as the coordinating center throughout the 
study. Data collection will be performed via case report forms (CRF) at each site. Data from the CRFs will 
then be transferred into an electronic database. The AH-REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) will 
be used as the central location for data processing and management. All study activities will be conducted 
in coordination with the study PI/study coordinator and the clinical sites. Each site investigator is 
responsible for complete data ascertainment at their site and entry into the database. 
 
Data quality control will occur according to our SOPs on Data Entry, Quality Control Procedures and Query 
Management.  All data will be entered into an electronic data capture (EDC) system and checked against 
the paper source for accuracy by a second party (Data Entry SOP) and errors resolved through the Query 

GPR119 agonist in hypoglycemia in T1DM  
Version 10.0
 
<21Nov2022> 
Protocol v29Sep2022 
 
54 
Management SOP.  Ten percent of the data points will be routinely checked at the beginning, middle, and 
close of a study for quality control (Quality Control SOP).  Finally, all critical endpoints (as determined by 
the PI or Sub-I) will be assessed using quality control analyses.  The data will be loaded into the clinical 
research database.  Data in the warehouse will also be routinely monitored over time. 
 
10.6.2 STUDY RECORDS RETENTION  
 
AdventHealth Translational Research Institute retention policy is maintained in the Records Management 
Policy. Electronic de-identified data will be kept indefinitely in our data warehouse. 
Per the institutional policy, investigator records must be kept for a minimum of 7 years after completion 
of discontinuation of the study, or for longer if required by applicable regulations. 
 
ProSciento will maintain records on site until after study closure. After study closure records will be stored 
in a secured offsite facility according to ProSciento’s policy. 
 
10.6.3 DATA SHARING 
Each site will have appropriate Data Use Agreements in place prior to sharing of any data.  
 
10.6.4 PROTOCOL DEVIATIONS  
A protocol deviation is any noncompliance with the clinical trial protocol or International Conference on 
Harmonization Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP) requirements. The noncompliance may be either on the 
part of the participant, the investigator, or the study site staff. As a result of deviations, corrective actions 
are to be developed by the site and implemented promptly.  
 
These practices are consistent with ICH GCP:  
• 
4.5 Compliance with Protocol, sections 4.5.1, 4.5.2, and 4.5.3  
• 
5.1 Quality Assurance and Quality Control, section 5.1.1  
• 
5.20 Noncompliance, sections 5.20.1, and 5.20.2.  
 
It is the responsibility of the Sponsor to use continuous vigilance to identify and report deviations. All 
deviations must be addressed in study source documents. ProSciento will report all deviations to the IRB 
of Record per policy and to TRI. All deviations will be reported to AH ORI and regulatory team.   
 
10.6.5 PUBLICATION AND DATA SHARING POLICY 
 
Sharing of anonymized data with other organizations would be allowed, as defined in respective Data Use 
Agreements, for research of any type if the research has scientific merit as determined by the TRI Scientific 
Review Committee. 
 
Some of the endpoint testing will be conducted at outside laboratories/institutions. To perform these 
analyses/testing/etc. and to interpret results, certain data elements will need to be shared along with the 
biospecimen samples. Data Use Agreements will be obtained, which will identify the specific data 
elements to be shared and will govern the sharing of data related to this study. Data will be de-identified, 
but a link/code is managed within an electronic research management system and maintained by a study 
coordinator.

Should archived biospecimens be needed for research outside AdventHealth Orlando and certain data 
elements that are connected to the archived biospecimen samples are needed to conduct the research, 
then Data Use Agreement(s) will be obtained. The Data Use Agreement(s) will identify the purpose for 
data sharing, the specific data elements to be shared, and will govern the sharing of data related to this 
study. Data will be de-identified, but a link/code is managed within an electronic research management 
system and maintained by a study coordinator. 
 
TRI will publicly disclose data. Whenever possible, data dissemination will occur through presentation at 
major scientific conferences and/or publication in peer-reviewed journals, and will be complete, accurate, 
balanced, and timely. De-identified data will be made available to qualified investigators upon the 
completion of the study. 
The study will be published on the ClinicalTrials.gov website. 
 
10.6.6 CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY 
 
The study leadership and AdventHealth has established policies and procedures for all study group 
members to disclose all conflicts of interest and will establish a mechanism for the management of all 
reported dualities of interest.

"Evidence for whether cannabis 
use has beneficial or adverse 
effects in diabetes patients

Furthermore, there is increasing 
use of cannabis recreationally, 
regardless of state laws, that is 
becoming more widely accepted 
socially. This increase has been 
seen broadly across different 
socio-economic and 
demographic groups. Given the 
numbers of diabetics, including 
younger type 1 diabetics, that 
are consuming cannabis, it is 
important to understand and 
observe the prevalence of 
marijuana use among this 
population and to capture data 
that may provoke new questions 
or suggest some mechanisms for 
its impact, whether beneficial or 
adverse, on glucose and 
metabolic regulation.
