Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

The purposes of this study are: To reverse hyperglycemia and insulin dependency in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus through islet transplantation utilizing steroid free, calcineurin-inhibitor free immunosuppression. To assess the long-term function of successful islet transplants in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus utilizing islets that have undergone a period of culture. To determine whether the natural history of the microvascular, macrovascular, and neuropathic complications are altered following the successful transplantation of islets.

University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) diabetes research physicians are studying the action in muscle tissue of "inhaled" insulin (Exubera®) and "infused" (intravenous or IV) insulin on blood sugar control in people with type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetics often take 2-4 shots of insulin every day. Exubera may offer an alternative to these insulin injections.

Pulmonary Safety in Diabetics with T/I

Islet transplantation in type 1 diabetics with hypoglycemic unawareness using abatacept as a part of a novel calcineurin-inhibitor-sparing immunosuppressive regimen.

To evaluate non-inferiority in the efficacy of HMR1964 as compared with Insulin lispro in terms of the change in HbA1C from baseline to endpoint. To compare the safety of HMR1964 with insulin lispro.

The purpose of this study is to compare intraperitoneal (IP) therapy to subcutaneous administration of insulin regarding safety, glycemic control and number of episodes of hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

This study will assess the subcutaneous administration of otelixizumab to T1DM patients. The study will provide safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic information which will enable the identification of appropriate safe and well-tolerated subcutaneous dosage regimens to be used in subsequent clinical studies. This study will consist of a screening phase, followed by an in-house phase whereby otelixizumab will be administered to cohorts that will be staggered at each dose level.

The main objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of overnight automated closed loop glucose control using a computer-based algorithm compared with conventional insulin pump therapy in adults with type 1 diabetes following the consumption of a moderate amount of alcohol at dinnertime.

Glycemic control in children and adolescent with type 1 diabetes remains inadequate, exposing them to the risk of vascular complications in adulthood. One of the limiting factors is the daily number of self measurements of blood glucose required to optimize intensive insulin therapy. Real Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring augmented by alarms (RT CGM) is a recent innovation. A randomized clinical study has shown its efficacy at short term (3 months). However, optimal clinical use of these devices requires rigorous assessment of their effectiveness on glycemic control, tolerance and acceptability in medium and long term. Primary objective: To assess the long-term effectiveness of two strategies of use of RT CGM (continuous or discontinuous) on glycemic control compared to conventional blood glucose self-monitoring (SMBG). Population: Children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes with inadequate glycemic control despite intensive insulin therapy.

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of biphasic insulin aspart 30 in subjects with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
