Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

The best format for the delivery of structured education for adults with Type 1 diabetes is unclear. Currently some hospitals invite their patients to attend a 5 day outpatient course run over one week (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating (DAFNE)). Other centres offer 1 day a week for 3 to 5 weeks. We aim to find out whether or not the benefit of benefits are the same then it would mean that the course could routinely be offered to patients in either format, thus allowing more patient choice and flexibility.

This trial is conducted in Japan. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of NN1250 (insulin degludec) in Japanese subjects with type 1 diabetes.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the variations in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of rapid-acting insulin analogs when given as a bolus by subcutaneous insulin infusion pump as typically encountered in the care of children with type 1 diabetes. The specific factors under investigation are: the effects of puberty type of insulin analog site of catheter insertion and age of catheter

The purpose of this study is to utilize a group therapy adjustment and coping program at the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin with patients who have Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) and their parents within a "typical" clinical condition of patients who have been referred for outpatient therapy services. To extend the previous literature on these types of peer and family-based groups to include survey data as well as provider ratings, medical data, and add retrospective and prospective data from baseline enrollment. To aid in establishing this group therapy methodology as a "promising" evidence-based intervention within a population of youths with T1DM and their families. The specific aim of this project is to enroll patients and their families into either a treatment group or a wait list control group to receive the group intervention to determine the impact of this peer and family-based group on improving adjustment, coping, and functioning within diabetes.

Compared to placebo, treatment with ChAgly CD3 has a beneficial effect on preservation of beta cell function and metabolic outcome in type 1 diabetic patients with recent clinical onset of disease that persists until 48 months after administration. The investigators also hypothesize that in type 1 diabetic patients with recent clinical onset of disease compared to placebo, ChAgly CD3 will be safe and well tolerated between 18 and 48 months after administration, based on assessment of clinical and laboratory adverse events.

The goal of this study is to determine if microneedles can effectively and painlessly deliver insulin to children and young adults with type 1 diabetes.

The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of a 5-week internet-based coping skills training program (TeenCope) with a 5-week internet education program (Managing Diabetes) in youth (age 11-14) with type 1 diabetes on intensive insulin therapy.

A draw trial of the effect of Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist (anakinra, Kineret®) on the insulin production in patients with new onset Type 1 diabetes. Kineret® is already being used in the treatment of patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and preclinical studies are now suggesting that it may also be useful for patients with Type 1 diabetes. The active substance in Kineret is interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, a blocker of an immune-signal molecule named interleukin-1. The trial is a blinded randomised trial, in which the patient is allocated to receive the active drug (Kineret®) or placebo (saline). The hypothesis is that anti-IL-1 treatment as add-on therapy to conventional insulin therapy will preserve or enhance beta-cell function.

The goal of this application is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of atorvastatin as a potential treatment to preserve beta cell function in children and young adults with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1DM).

The purpose of the study is to study the clinical effects of the investigational drug, SB-509 versus placebo in patients with diabetic neuropathy.
