Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

This study will test the hypothesis that a wearable automated bionic pancreas system that automatically delivers both insulin and glucagon can improved glycemic control vs. usual in the outpatient environment.

The objectives of this study is to evaluate the safety and influence of treatment with GAD-Alum (Diamyd) combined with Vitamin D and Ibuprofen on preservation of residual insulin secretion in recently diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes evaluate how the above mentioned treatments influence the immune system of the subjects and interact with any viral infections evaluate the safety and influence of treatment with double dose of GAD-Alum (Diamyd) plus Vitamin D on the immune system, viral infections, and on preservation of residual insulin secretion in recently diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) results from the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing ß cells. Although exogenous insulin is widely available, it is not possible for affected individuals to consistently achieve euglycemia with current technology, and thus they are at risk for devastating long-term complications. This phase II study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of imatinib mesylate as a novel therapy for new-onset T1DM. Imatinib is a first-in-class tyrosine kinase inhibitor. This study will explore the potential role of short-term therapy with imatinib to induce tolerance and possibly lead to a durable long-term remission of T1DM.

Hospitalization of youth with established diabetes is both costly and frequently preventable. Poor glycemic control is a risk factor for hospitalization and is also associated with adolescent age and lower socioeconomic status. This is a randomized, controlled trial for high-risk adolescent youth with T1DM and suboptimal glycemic control with an intervention arm and usual care control arm matched for frequency of contacts. There will be 110 subjects with T1DM and HbA1c>8%, aged 13 to 17 years, recruited from the Diabetes Program at Boston Children's Hospital and followed for 6 months. The intervention will be implemented by a diabetes nurse educator and social worker, who will each have monthly contact with the adolescent and a parent/guardian through a telehealth (videoconference) visit. Care will be guided by a diabetes action plan. Telehealth interventions have been utilized successfully in both adults and youth with diabetes. They facilitate frequent contact with the care team allowing barriers to adherence to be addressed, education to be reinforced, care plans to be updated, and diabetes-specific family support to be provided.

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to investigate the pharmacodynamic (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) and the pharmacokinetic (exposure of the trial drug in the body) properties of insulin degludec/insulin aspart 15 in subjects with type 1 diabetes.

Closed-loop strategy is composed of three components: glucose sensor to read glucose levels, insulin pump to infuse insulin and a dosing mathematical algorithm to decide on the required insulin dosages based on the sensor's readings. A dual-hormone closed-loop system would regulate glucose levels through the infusion of two hormones: insulin and glucagon. The objective is to compare the efficacy of single-hormone closed-loop strategy and dual-hormone closed-loop strategy at regulating glucose levels during continuous exercise and interval exercise. The investigator hypothesized that dual-hormone closed-loop strategy is superior to single-hormone closed-loop strategy in regulating glucose levels during exercise periods.

This trial is conducted in Africa, Europe and North America. The purpose of the trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of liraglutide adjunct to insulin treatment in type 1 diabetes.

Breif summary A keystone in preventing diabetic complications in patients with type 1 diabetes is good glycaemic control. Frequent self-measurements of blood glucose (SMBG) levels has been an essential part of insulin dosing before meals. However, in recent years continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has become a treatment option for notifying the patient on trends in glucose levels and warning when these are estimated to be too high and too low. In some countries today, Sweden among others, CGM is reimbursed in combination with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusions (CSII) in patients with very poor glycaemic control or a history of repeated severe hypoglycaemia in adult type 1 diabetic patients. This is based on existing clinical trials showing a beneficial effect on HbA1c by combining CGM with CSII. However, the majority of adult type 1 diabetic patients are treated with multiple daily insulin injections (MDI). Clinical trial data are sparse on the effect of CGM in adult type 1 diabetic patients treated with MDI, and there are no clinical trial data including only patients on MDI. The aim of the current study is to evaluate effectiveness, safety and treatment satisfaction among adult type 1 diabetic patients on CGM treated with MDI. The design is a 69-week, cross-over clinical trial, including 26 weeks treatment with CGM, 26 weeks treatment with conventional SMBG and a wash-out period of 17 weeks. In total 120 patients will be included at 8 sites in Sweden. The study will have 80% power to detect a 3 mmol/mol (0.3 percentage unit) change in HbA1c resulting from CGM.

The primary goal is to test the function of the Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) enhanced control-to-range (CTR) controller in a closely monitored diabetes camp setting. The camp setting will allow us to obtain pilot efficacy data.

The addition of Biochaperone to insulin lispro may accelerate the onset and shorten the duration of action of insulin lispro due to a facilitation of the absorption of the insulin after subcutaneous injection. The aim of the trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of BioChaperone insulin lispro in subjects with Type 1 diabetes under a dose of 0.2 U/Kg. This trial is a single-center, randomised, double-blinded, two-treatment, two-period cross-over, 6-hour euglycaemic glucose clamp trial in subjects with Type 1 diabetes mellitus. Each subject will be randomly allocated to a single dose of BioChaperone insulin lispro 0.2 U/Kg and a single dose of Humalog® 0.2 U/Kg on 2 separate dosing visits.
