Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is characterized by impaired arterial function and high incidence of cardiovascular events. Metformin and most recent antidiabetic groups of drugs, SGLT2 inhibitors, were in previous studies shown to reduce cardiovascular events. Until now, direct effect of empagliflozin on arterial function and its comparison to metformin was not studied yet. Aim: The aim of the present study is to explore and compare potential direct effects of empagliflozin and metformin on arterial functional and structural arterial wall characteristics in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Methods: Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus are randomized into four groups: 1) empagliflozin (25 mg daily), 2) metformin (2000 mg daily), 3) combination (empagliflozin 25 mg daily and metformin 2000 mg daily) and 4) control (placebo). At inclusion and after 12 weeks treatment, arterial function is assessed: endothelial function (brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD), reactive hyperemia index (RHI)) and arterial stiffness (carotid pulse wave velocity (PWV), carotid-femoral PWV (cfPWV) and common carotid artery stiffness (β-stiffness)).

A study is to see if methyldopa can change the immune system's attack on insulin producing cells in people at early stages of type 1 diabetes.

The main objective of this study is to assess safety and efficacy of the ABC4D compared to standard therapy (standard bolus calculator) in adults with type 1 diabetes on multiple daily injections (MDI) of insulin in an out-of-clinic setting. Hypothesis: ABC4D is non-inferior to a standard bolus calculator and has an equivalent impact on time in target in adults with type 1 diabetes on MDI

The purpose of this investigator-initiated trial is to compare the efficacy in terms of time to recovery from hyperglycemia as measured by time to arrest of hyperglycemic excursion ("glucose plateau point", primary endpoint) and return to premeal glucose target if feasible (secondary endpoint) between Fiasp and conventional insulin aspart when used as a correction bolus. These endpoints will be determined by CGM (Dexcom) from data exported from the Dexcom Clarity program.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of metformin as additional treatment with insulin on non-obese autoimmune diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D), is associated with considerable risk of morbidity and mortality due to chronic hyperglycemia. Despite innovations in management, pediatric patients of African ancestry (AA) have been found to have persistently higher mean blood glucose (MBG) than European ancestry (EA) patients. The investigators hypothesize that an intervention using advanced insulin delivery technology together with home management will sustainably improve MBG to levels comparable to EA patients without increasing hypoglycemia. The investigators will first perform a small "field trial" of the intervention in African American patients having T1D, with 8.5<HbA1c<12% aged 10-17 years. The primary intervention approach will use a combination of an advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) pump + enhanced home video management conferencing with study CDE nurse coordinator. Information gained in the "field trial" will be used to more specifically tailor the intervention in a randomized trial. In the second part , the investigators will conduct a randomized trial of the study intervention in participants with the same clinical features as the field trial for a six month pilot period. Participants will be randomized into one of four groups. The special intervention group (AHCL+conferencing) group will be compared with a group using patient's current insulin management+followup, vs AHCL+without conferencing, vs patient's standard insulin management+conferencing. The investigators will compare HbA1c, MBG, time in glycemic range, ability to adhere with home management, satisfaction with management procedures between the groups.

Background: Achieving glycemic control without risking hypoglycemia imposes a major challenge in the management of toddlers and preschool children with Type 1 diabetes(T1D). Optimal insulin therapy for young children with T1D should provide effective glycemic control while minimizing the risk of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. Despite the advantages of the basal-bolus insulin regimens, hypoglycemia still presents a major barrier in achieving desirable glycemic control. Objectives: To compare the effectiveness of insulin degludec to insulin glargine and NPH in toddlers and preschool children with T1D in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1C) and frequency of hypoglycemic episodes.

This study was designed to evaluate the glucose control and hypoglycemic prevention effect of using continuous glucose monitoring system(CGMS) in patients with type 1 diabetes. This is a prospective randomized controlled, single-center clinical study. Patients will randomized 1:1 to either CGMS or conventional self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) group. After 12 weeks of applying the CGMS sensors, the improvement of parameters collected from the CGMS will be estimated in comparison with data collected from the SMBG.

The aim of the study is to investigate the applicability of a Flash glucose monitoring sensor (Freestyle Libre, isCGM) for in-hospital glucose monitoring in patients with diabetes and hypoglycemia (<3,9 mmol/l) during the hospitalization

Phase IB will evaluate the safety of autologous, ex vivo-engineered, co-stimulation impaired dendtritic cells to maintain and improve functional residual beta cell mass in new onset Type I Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) patients. Efficacy measures will be collected and summarized. Phase IIA will evaluate the safety and efficacy of 3 randomized treatment groups in new onset T1DM patients to assess if the antisense DNA-treated co-stimulation-impaired immunoregulatory dendritic cells (iDC) will safely preserve and/or increase B-cell mass resulting in improvement and/or normalization of blood glucose levels and glycated hemoglobin A1c.
