Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

The purpose of this study is to test the acceptability and effectiveness of an individualized eating strategy as part of diabetes self-management to improve glycemic levels among youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and suboptimal glycemic management. Investigators will assess participant acceptability of and adherence to a 6-month individualized eating strategy ("MyPlan") characterized by approximate day-to-day consistency in the frequency and timing of meals and snacks and distribution of carbohydrate throughout the day. Within-individual change in glycemic levels between baseline and 6-months of the study will also be compared. The goal of the study is to inform the design of a future randomized clinical trial to test the addition of the MyPlan eating strategy to ongoing diabetes clinical care among youth with T1D.

The aim of this study is to compare the effect of tropicamide 0.5% and tropicamide 1% on intraocular pressure and anterior chamber parameters in patients with Diabetes Mellitus.

The purpose of this feasibility study is to evaluate subject safety of using the Klue Health app utilizing meal gesture micro insulin dosing (meal gesture dosing) within the AHCL system in adult subjects with type 1 diabetes in a clinic setting.

This study is looking at the safety of the new medicine, insulin NNC0471-0119, its concentrations in the blood and effect on blood sugar for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Insulin NNC0471-0119 will be compared to faster aspart. The purpose of this study is to test how insulin NNC0471-0119 is tolerated by participants body, how it is transported in participants bloodstream, how long it stays there and how the blood sugar is lowered compared to faster aspart. Participants will get either the new insulin NNC0471-0119 or faster aspart-which treatment participants get is decided by chance. It is the first time insulin NNC0471-0119 is tested in people. Faster aspart is a globally used medication for treatment of diabetes mellitus. Participants will get one single injection in a fasting state which will take place at the study site. The medicine will be injected under the skin in the stomach. The study will last for about 13-53 days, depending on individual visit schedule. Participants will have four clinic visits with the study doctor, one of which will require an in-house visit period of 3 days. During the in-house visit, two intravenous cannulas will be inserted for sampling of blood and infusion of insulin. Participants cannot be in the study if the study doctor thinks that there are risks to their health. Women: Women cannot take part if they are of childbearing potential.

This study is designed to characterize the safety, steady-state pharmacokinetics (PK) of IMT-002, and will serve as a dose range identification for the pharmacodynamic effect of blocking self-antigen presentation in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) having the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ8 gene.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Peribioma Toothpaste and Mousse for home oral care in patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type 1. Patients will undergo a professional oral hygiene procedure, followed by irrigation with ozonized water. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups: Trial Group: patients will use Biorepair Peribioma Toothpaste and Mousse for home oral care Control Group: patients will use Biorepair Plus Parodontgel toothpaste for home oral care. The variations of the following indices will be evaluated at the baseline, after 3 and 6 months: glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) , Clinical Attachment Level (CAL), Plaque Index (PI), Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) and Bleeding on Probing (BoP).

According to guidelines, when a mild-to-moderate hypoglycemia occurs (capillary blood glucose < 4.0 mmol/L), 15-20g of rapidly absorbed carbohydrates should be ingested. Patients should re-test and re-ingest 15-20g carbohydrates every 15 minutes until they recover from hypoglycemia. These recommendations were principally based on two studies conducted in the 80s before the introduction of intensive insulin therapy. In practice, only 32-50% of patients follow the current guidelines. In addition, recent studies suggest that under current intensive insulin therapies, an initial correction with 15g of oral glucose may be insufficient to rapidly correct mild-to-moderate hypoglycemia. With the development and increasing usage of newer glucose monitoring technologies, the community is witnessing a shift in hypoglycemia management, from a reactive to a proactive approach (e.g., prevent imminent episodes rather than treating established episodes).

The purpose of this study is to determine the performance of a bi-hormonal reactive closed-loop system in adolscents with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The percentage of time spent in the target range (3.9-10.0 mmol/L) is the main outcome and will be compared between the bi-hormonal closed-loop system and the current treatment of the patients. Also, safety parameters, pharmacodynamics and patient reported outcomes (expectations, trust and treatment satisfaction scores) are compared. This study is a monocenter, randomized, cross-over trial with 20 subjects. The subjects will be randomized to receive either the open-loop therapy or the closed-loop therapy for the first two-week study period and switch to the alternate treatment with at least two weeks in between.

Achieving near-normoglycemia has been established as the main objective for most patients with diabetes. However, postprandial glucose control is a challenging issue in everyday diabetes care. Indeed, excessive postprandial glucose excursions are the major contributors to plasma glucose (PG) variability in subjects with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). In addition, the poor reproducibility of postprandial glucose response is burdensome for patients and healthcare professionals. Automatic glucose control, the so-called artificial pancreas or closed-loop system, may represent the ideal solution for reaching the therapeutic goals in diabetic patients. Intuitively, closed-loop insulin delivery may be superior to open-loop insulin delivery due to a better compensation of the variability of subcutaneous insulin absorption and the intra-subject insulin sensitivity. However, several challenges exist to effectively realize an optimal postprandial closed-loop control of blood glucose. Indeed, the eating process induces one of the major glucose perturbations that need to be controlled by an artificial pancreas and is currently one of the main challenges found in clinical validations of the few existing prototypes of an artificial pancreas. In particular, experiments carried out with the currently used algorithms for glucose control (the so called PID and MPC) showed that closed-loop insulin delivery often tend to overcorrect hyperglycemia thus increasing the risk hypoglycemia. In this project, a rigorous clinical testing of a novel closed-loop controller ('artificial pancreas') will be carried out in T1DM patients treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). The innovative element of the controller is a safety auxiliary feedback based on sliding mode reference conditioning (SMRC), which has been demonstrated (in simulation studies) to limit over-insulinization and the resulting hypoglycemia, reducing glycaemic variability. Standardized meal test studies will be performed in T1DM subjects treated with CSII, comparing the administration of a classical bolus (open-loop study) with a controller-driven prandial insulin delivery (closed-loop study) based on continuous subcutaneous glucose monitoring (CGM). The hypothesis is that closed loop control will provide better postprandial control, especially in terms of reduction of glucose variability and incidence of hypoglycemia.

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to investigate the pharmacokinetic (the exposure of the trial drug in the body) and pharmacodynamic (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) properties of faster-acting insulin aspart in subjects with Type 1 diabetes.
