Summary
This trial aims to study how the hormone insulin functions in healthy adults and those at risk for type 2 diabetes. Researchers will use a drug called alpelisib to see if the liver continues to
Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adults and those at risk for type 2 diabetes, specifically with conditions like liver disease, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), prediabetes, and insulin resistance. Participants should be willing to stay overnight in the hospital twice and follow study procedures.
What is being tested?
Researchers are testing alpelisib's effects on how the body responds to insulin by comparing it with a placebo. The study involves taking single doses of both substances during separate hospital stays and measuring glucose and fat production using special tracer molecules.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from alpelisib may include nausea, increased blood sugar levels, rash or itching skin, fatigue, decreased appetite or diarrhea. Placebo typically has no active ingredients but can cause reactions based on expectations.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Placebo then alpelisib (Insulin Sensitive group)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
On Study Visit 1, participants in the Insulin Sensitive (IS) group will undergo fasting and refed measurement of de novo lipogenesis (DNL) and endogenous glucose production (EGP) following a single dose of placebo. Then, 2-8 weeks later on Study Visit 2, participants will undergo measurement of DNL and EGP after a single dose of alpelisib 300 mg.
Group II: Placebo then alpelisib (Insulin Resistant group)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
On Study Visit 1, participants in the Insulin Resistant (IR) group will undergo fasting and refed measurement of de novo lipogenesis (DNL) and endogenous glucose production (EGP) following a single dose of placebo. Then, 2-8 weeks later on Study Visit 2, participants will undergo measurement of DNL and EGP after a single dose of alpelisib 300 mg.
Group III: Alpelisib then placebo (Insulin Sensitive group)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
On Study Visit 1, participants in the Insulin Sensitive (IS) group will undergo fasting and refed measurement of de novo lipogenesis (DNL) and endogenous glucose production (EGP) following a single dose of alpelisib 300 mg. Then, 2-8 weeks later on Study Visit 2, participants will undergo measurement of DNL and EGP after a single dose of placebo.
Group IV: Alpelisib then placebo (Insulin Resistant group)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
On Study Visit 1, participants in the Insulin Resistant (IR) group will undergo fasting and refed measurement of de novo lipogenesis (DNL) and endogenous glucose production (EGP) following a single dose of alpelisib 300 mg. Then, 2-8 weeks later on Study Visit 2, participants will undergo measurement of DNL and EGP after a single dose of placebo.
