- Canagliflozin (sold as InvokanaTM) is a new medicine for diabetes. But it might increase the bone fracture risk in people with diabetes.
Objective:
- To see if Invokana has negative side effects on bone health.
Eligibility:
- Healthy men ages 18 45.
Design:
- Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. A nutritionist will discuss their dietary history and the study dietary requirements. Participants will get a food diary to record what they eat and drink on 3 separate days.
- Participants will have a DEXA scan x-ray test of bone health. Participants will lie still on a table while a small camera passes over the body.
- Participants will have 2 stays in the clinic. They will be 1 week apart and each last 6 overnights starting on a Sunday.
- Before each stay, participants will:
- Pick up food each day for 7 days. They will get breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. They must eat only the food provided during these times.
- Collect their urine twice.
- During the stays, participants will:
- Be evaluated by a doctor and have blood drawn.
- On each Monday, participants will:
- Skip breakfast
- At about 8 a.m. take a placebo pill in one stay, the study drug in the other stay.
- Drink 6 ounces of water every 2 hours for 4 hours.
- An intravenous (IV) catheter will be inserted into an arm. Blood will be drawn every 2 hours from 8 a.m. until noon.
- Get lunch.
- Have blood testing again at 8pm and midnight.
- Repeat the testing days 2 5.
- Have urine collected.
