Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

This open-label, multicenter study is designed to investigate the clinical utility and safety of pramlintide treatment in subjects with type 1 and type 2 diabetes who are failing to achieve the desired level of glycemic control using insulin therapy.

The purpose of this study is to see if giving the study drug in a slow and steady dose will lower blood sugars during the meal and after-meal time.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether E1 and G1 are safe and effective in the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system attacks pancreatic beta cells. These cells produce insulin, which regulates blood glucose. The mainstay of current treatment for type 1 diabetes is dietary control and daily parenteral administration of insulin. Recent diabetes research has increasingly focused on pancreatic islet cell replacement, either by islet cell transplantation or by endogenous regeneration of islet cells. During fetal development, islet precursor cells proliferate and differentiate into mature beta cells capable of producing insulin. This process is known as islet cell neogenesis. Islet cell neogenesis normally ceases around birth, however, the adult pancreas still retains significant potential for islet regeneration, as shown by tissue repair following pancreatic injury. Pre-clinical studies have shown that E1 and G1 can re-establish islet cell neogenesis and increase pancreatic insulin production in diabetic animal models. It is therefore postulated that treatment with E1 and G1 may produce islet cell regeneration in type 1 diabetic patients.

This research is being done to find out whether subjects previously treated with the implantable insulin pump (IIP) therapy, and now taking insulin by injection, will benefit from re-implantation of IIP. The investigators will see if IIP causes more stable control of blood sugar, with fewer highs and lows. People with type 1 diabetes previously implanted with the MiniMed Implantable Pump (MIP) model 2000 at Johns Hopkins may join this study.

The purpose of this study is to identify the safest dose of very low dose glucagon to prevent hypoglycemia in patients with Type I diabetes who use insulin pumps and to measure the the amount of glucagon in the blood and see how the body responds to the glucagon.

While this study is now completely enrolled, we do hope to develop a "next generation" cord blood based study sometime in early 2009. Please continue to contact us if you have a child with newly diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) who alo has their OWN cord blood in storage.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate equivalent blood glucose control in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus with insulin VIAject™ and regular human insulin as prandial insulin and to demonstrate an equivalent safety profile for VIAject™ in comparison to regular human insulin.

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

The purpose of the study is to establish the safety of ezetimibe/simvastatin and simvastatin in adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes and to determine the amount of decrease in LDL-cholesterol.The study hypothesizes that simvastatin and ezetimibe/simvastatin will be safe in adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes and will lower LDL-cholesterol at 6 months.

This trial was conducted in Europe, Middle East, North America and South America. The aim of this trial was to compare the use of an intensified insulin treatment with insulin aspart (NovoRapid®) versus human insulin (Actrapid®) in pregnancy.
