Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

Over 1.25 million Americans have Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), increasing risk for early death from cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite advances in glycemic and blood pressure control, a child diagnosed with T1D is expected to live up to 17 years less than non-diabetic peers. The strongest risk factor for CVD and mortality in T1D is diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Current treatments, such as control of hyperglycemia and hypertension, are beneficial, but only partially protect against DKD. This limited progress may relate to a narrow focus on clinical manifestations of disease, rather than on the initial metabolic derangements underlying the initiation of DKD. Renal hypoxia, stemming from a potential metabolic mismatch between increased renal energy expenditure and impaired substrate utilization, is increasingly proposed as a unifying early pathway in the development of DKD. T1D is impacted by several mechanisms which increase renal adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consumption and decrease ATP generation. Caffeine, a methylxanthine, is known to alter kidney function by several mechanisms including natriuresis, hemodynamics and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. In contrast, to other natriuretic agents, caffeine is thought to fully inhibit the local tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) response to increased distal sodium delivery. This observation has broad-ranging implications as caffeine can reduce renal oxygen (O2) consumption without impairing effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). There are also data suggesting that chemicals in coffee besides caffeine may provide important cardio-renal protection. Yet, there are no data examining the impact of coffee-induced natriuresis on intrarenal hemodynamic function and renal energetics in youth-onset T1D. Our overarching hypothesis in the proposed pilot and feasibility trial is that coffee drinking improves renal oxygenation by reducing renal O2 consumption without impairing GFR and ERPF. To address these hypotheses, we will measure GFR, ERPF, renal perfusion and oxygenation in response to 7 days of cold brew coffee (one Starbucks® Cold brew 325ml bottle daily [205mg caffeine]) in an open-label pilot and feasibility trial in 10 adolescents with T1D already enrolled in the CASPER Study (PI: Bjornstad).

This is a multi-center, randomized, controlled, single-blind, two-way crossover efficacy and safety study in subjects with Type 1 diabetes mellitus. The study involves two daytime clinical research center (CRC) visits with random assignment to receive G-Pen glucagon 1 mg during one period and Novo Glucagon 1 mg during the other. Each daytime visit is preceded by an overnight stay in the CRC. In the morning of the inpatient study visit, the subject is brought into a state of severe hypoglycemia through IV administration of regular insulin diluted in normal saline. After a hypoglycemic state with plasma glucose < 54 mg/dL (3 mmol/L) is verified, the subject is administered a dose of G-Pen or Novo Glucagon via subcutaneous injection. Plasma glucose levels are monitored for up to 180 minutes post-dosing, with a value of >70.0 mg/dL (3.89 mmol/L) or an increase of > 20 mg/dL (>1.11 mmol/L) within 30 minutes of glucagon administration indicating a positive response. After 3 hours, the subject is given a meal and discharged when medically stable. After a wash-out period of 7 to 28 days, subjects return to the CRC, and the procedures are repeated with each subject crossed over to the other treatment. A follow-up visit as a safety check is conducted 2-7 days following administration of the final dose of study drug.

The main goal of this study is to find a reasonably safe and tolerable treatment for adult patients with type 1-diabetes and that regain some of the endogenous insulin secretion, improve the patients' quality of life (QoL) and reduce the risk of both short- and long-term complications. The hypothesis tested is that oral GABA treatment with the newly developed compound Remygen will be safe and induce regain of some endogenous insulin secretion in adult patients with type 1-diabetes diagnosis for more than five years. The first part of the study will include 6 patients and be performed as a Safety and Dose Escalation study in three steps. The main study is a three-arm, open label, single center, clinical trial. Eligible patients will be randomized into one of three active treatment arms to receive oral GABA treatment for 6 months.

Several studies have shown that Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion together with Continuous Glucose Monitoring improves glycemic control in type 1 diabetes when compared to more traditional approaches; however, in available trials the basal insulin used in multi-injection therapy is typically glargine, which is associated with a higher hypoglycemic risk than degludec. This study will assess the efficacy and safety of Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin infusion (CSII) combined with Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), as compared to Multiple Daily Injections (MDI) of insulin analogues, using degludec as basal insulin, associated with traditional self-monitoring of capillary blood glucose (SMBG) in patients with type 1 diabetes. A crossover design was chosen in order to minimize study sample improving statistical power.

This study addresses the critical need for improving Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) health outcomes in high-risk youth (A1C=9-12%; ages 10-17 yrs) (AIC: glycated hemoglobin) where suboptimal glycemic control has severe acute and long-term complications with potentially life threatening consequences. Lack of regular contact with T1D care providers, continued T1D nonadherence, and suboptimal behavioral and mental health functioning compromises the physical health of youth with T1D and the ability of T1D teams to provide effective treatment. If the aims of this study are achieved, this study will change T1D care practices by providing high-risk youth with T1D, and their parents, medical and behavioral health support via home telehealth intervention. This has the potential to significantly change access to T1D care, decrease time spent in hyperglycemia, reduce the frequency of hospital admissions, and improve glycemic control. In addition, this study's use of Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST), a highly efficient experimental strategy to determine effective intervention components, should be generalizable to all individuals with T1D, leading to cost-effective, home telehealth intervention programs. Innovative aspects include: 1) assessment of physical and behavioral health characteristics associated with high-risk status; 2) delivery of home telehealth that incorporates: 2a) medical and behavioral health care delivered with the endocrinologist and behavioral health specialist working together with high-risk youth; 2b) personalized intervention to improve T1D adherence and T1D clinical health outcomes; 2c) personalized intervention to improve mental health comorbidities and T1D clinical health outcomes; and 3) an underused methodological approach for optimizing intervention components to be delivered at point of care.

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of multiple doses of REMD-477 in subjects who have Type 1 diabetes and are currently receiving insulin treatment. This study will determine whether REMD-477 can decrease daily insulin requirements and improve glycemic control after 12 weeks of treatment in subjects diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes with fasting C-peptide < 0.7 ng/mL at Screening. The study will be conducted at multiple sites in the United States. Approximately 150 subjects with type 1 diabetes on stable doses of insulin will be randomized in a 1:1:1 fashion into one of three treatment groups.

The purpose of this study is to determine wether coenzyme Q10 is effective in reducing markers of endothelial dysfunction in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and aslo to investigate its effect on glycemic control and lipid profile of those patients and its effect on patient's quality of life.

This is a 24-week, open-label, randomized, multi-center trial conducted in three tertiary hospitals. There are three follow-up measures; at baseline, post-intervention at Week 12, and Week 24. Subjects are diagnosed as type 1 DM, type 2 DM, and/or post-transplant DM, and initiate or currently use insulin therapy. After the given education on insulin dose titration and prevention for hypoglycemia and 1 week of run-in period, subjects are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the ICT-based intervention group or the conventional intervention group. Subjects in conventional intervention group will save and send their health information to the server via the PHR app, whereas those in ICT-based intervention group have additional algorithm-based feedback messages. The health information includes levels of blood glucose, insulin dose, details on hypoglycemia, food diary, and number of steps. The primary outcome will be the proportion of patients who reach an optimal insulin dose within 12 weeks of enrolling in the study without severe hypoglycemia or unscheduled clinic visits. This study is based upon work supported by the Ministry of Trade, Industry & Energy (MOTIE, Korea) under Industrial Technology Innovation Program (No. 10059066, 'Establishment of ICT Clinical Trial System and Foundation for Industrialization.")

The purpose of this trial is to test if VC-02™ combination product can be implanted subcutaneously in subjects with Type 1 Diabetes and maintained safely for up to four (4) months.

This is a single-centre, randomised, double-blind, three-period, complete cross-over trial comparing the pharmacokinetic and the pharmacodynamic properties of BioChaperone® insulin lispro and the two active comparators Fiasp® and Novorapid® when given as a bolus on top of basal delivery with an insulin pump in subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Each subject will be randomly assigned to a treatment sequence consisting of 3 dosing visits during which the subject will receive the investigational products. In a euglycaemic clamp setting, subjects will be given a bolus dose of 0.15 U/kg body weight. Throughout the glucose clamp procedure, blood glucose will be stabilised at a target level of 100 mg/dL by means of an intravenous infusion of glucose. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic assessment will be drawn at specified timepoints and glucose infusion rates and blood glucose concentrations will be recorded for pharmacodynamic assessment during the 10-hour clamp procedure after dosing.
