Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

This project will aim to investigate the clinical efficacy and metabolic effects of a pre-exercise dose of caffeine with a low (10g) dose of carbohydrate (CAF+lowCHO) without modification of insulin degludec on exercise metabolism in people with T1D.

This study will assess the safety and efficacy of ACZ885 on stimulated C-peptide during a mixed meal test in patients with newly-diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Aralast NP (alpha-1 antitrypsin, AAT), an alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor (human), was the drug to be tested in this clinical trial. Aralast NP is an anti-inflammatory drug that affects the cells that are thought to be involved in the development of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM, T1D). This study, known as RETAIN, was planned as a two-part trial to investigate the effect of Aralast NP on preserving beta cell function and to determine if the intervention would slow the progression of type 1 diabetes. Part I of this trial (NCT 01183468) was an open-label, safety and dose level study consisting of two groups. After completion of Part I, including a satisfactory safety review, enrollment in Part II was to begin. Part II was designed as a two-arm, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, and participants were to be randomly assigned to either the Aralast NP treatment or placebo group.

You are invited to participate in a research study for the development of an artificial pancreas. An artificial pancreas uses a program which takes information from a continuous blood glucose monitor and uses that information to tell an insulin infusion pump how much insulin to deliver. The primary purpose of this study is to gain experience with insulin delivery algorithms or programs program (algorithm) provides the best regulation of glucose levels so that there are no severe low blood glucose reactions and blood glucose levels are generally between 70 to 180 mg/dl.

In this placebo controlled study the investigators aim to investigate the effects of vitamin D supplementation in subjects with new onset of type 1 diabetes on immunological, endocrine and metabolic parameters.

Impaired retinal blood flow has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. Patel et al. (1992) showed that retinal blood flow increases with the level of diabetic retinopathy. Grunwald et al. (1996) reported that patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) of relatively short duration have increased retinal blood flow, even before the onset of diabetic retinopathy. On the other hand the data of Bursell et al. (1996) indicate that IDDM patients have reduced retinal blood flow, when they have normal blood glucose levels, but this study may have considerable methodological limitations. Acute elevations of blood glucose levels, however, result in an increase in retinal blood flow (Grunwald et al. 1987, Bursell et al. 1996). Based on previous experimental data the investigators hypothesize that ocular blood flow is increased in early diabetes and reduced at later stages of the disease. Previous studies have demonstrated that metabolic conditions such as hyperglycemia influence outcome parameters and thereby might have confounded results regarding ocular blood flow in diabetic retinopathy. The investigators will therefore study patients with IDDM during euglycemic conditions.

In people with type 1 diabetes the beta cells of the pancreas no longer make insulin because the body's immune system has attacked and destroyed the beta cells. It is thought that exposure of the mucous membranes to insulin may cause act like a vaccine effect whereby protective immune cells are stimulated and these then counteract the "bad" immune cells that damage the beta cells. This study aims to determine if intranasal insulin can protect beta cells and stop progression to diabetes in individuals who are at risk.

Type I Diabetes Mellitus (TIDM) is a chronic metabolic disorder caused by the immune-mediated T-cell and macrophages that typically affects insulin-producing β-cells of Langerhans leading to cell destruction and absolute insulin deficiency. This study aimed to investigate the correlation of RAGE gene polymorphism rs1800625 with the incidence of type I diabetes mellitus in the Egyptian patients with the activity and the severity of the disease and to assess their association with inflammatory reactions in TIDM patients (IL-6, TNF-α). Also, this study investigated the relation between MiRNA-34, MiRNA-146, to TID severity and activity

BOL-DP-o-05 as an Add-On Treatment for Preservation of Beta-Cell Function in Subjects With Newly-Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM)

A Cluster-controlled Intervention Trial regarding Prevention of Dermatological Complications towards use of Continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pumps in pediatric patients with Type 1 Diabetes. The patients will be followed prospectively with visits every 3rd month for the first year of initiation of device. Besides a standardized treatment plan if dermatological complications evolve, will be used.
