Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

to assess the effect of treatment with Sitagliptin (MK0431) on HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c) and the safety and tolerability of Sitagliptin.

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). This trial will compare the changes in HbA1c after 26 weeks of inhaled insulin and pioglitazone combination therapy versus pioglitazone treatment alone.

The primary objective is to demonstrate, after 52 weeks of treatment, the non-inferiority of rimonabant 20 mg once daily (od) versus glimepiride od in reducing glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes not adequately controlled with metformin at a stable dose (≥ 1500 mg/day) for at least 3 months. The main secondary objectives are to assess the effect of rimonabant in comparison with glimepiride on body weight and HDL-Cholesterol and the long-term safety and tolerability of rimonabant in comparison with glimepiride.

Many drugs used for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus cause the body to retain water. This study will assess whether or not GW677954 causes the body to retain fluid.

The purpose of this study is to learn whether PPM-204 has an effect on lowering blood glucose (blood sugar) levels and is safe in treating people with type 2 diabetes.

The primary objective of this study is to compare patient preference of the h-Patch as delivery device for insulin lispro compared with either an insulin pen or needle and syringe in patients with diabetes, either Type 1 or Type 2, on stable multiple daily injection regimens. This will be assessed using an accepted preference scale.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of Rimonabant (SR141716) compared to placebo on change in HbA1c and on relative change in body weight over 36 weeks in obese type 2 diabetic patients inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone. The secondary objectives are: To evaluate the effect of Rimonabant compared to placebo on other parameters related to the glucose control, waist circumference, Body Mass Index and metabolic parameters; To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Rimonabant compared to placebo; To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of Rimonabant.

This is a parallel-group, multi-center, long-term extension study from the GALLANT 4 study to monitor the safety and tolerability of oral tesaglitazar compared with glibenclamide in patients with type 2 diabetes for up to 100 weeks of treatment. The total duration, including treatment and follow-up, is 103 weeks.

To conduct a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of a large randomized controlled trial (RCT) of metformin in patients with heart failure and type 2 diabetes and to generate initial morbidity and mortality estimates in this patient population. The primary hypothesis is that subjects with heart failure and type 2 diabetes who receive metformin will have a significant reduction in the combined endpoint of all-cause mortality and all-cause hospitalization as compared to subjects who receive placebo therapy.

Little is known about how type 1 diabetes or coeliac disease develop in adults. Studies following children at risk of type 1 diabetes from birth have shown that the marker of type 1 diabetes autoimmunity (antibodies against the insulin producing cells in the pancreas (Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Autoantibodies (GADA), Insulin Autoantibodies (IAA), Zinc Transporter 8 Autoantibodies (ZnT8), Anti-tyrosine phosphatase-like insulinoma antigen 2 (IA-2))) can develop many years before glucose levels are raised and diabetes is diagnosed. In adults, it is unclear when antibodies develop in relation to high blood glucose levels and the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Similarly in coeliac disease it is unclear to what degree Tissue transglutaminase autoantibodies (TTG) in adults proceed the development of clinically diagnosed disease. The investigators will use samples collected and stored in The Exeter 10,000 volunteer research bank (https://exetercrfnihr.org/about/exeter-10000/) and so no new sample collection is required. This includes ~8000 participants with no history of coeliac disease or diabetes at recruitment. The investigators wish to determine prevalence of autoantibodies in the background adult population split by the highest genetic risk for type 1 diabetes and separately coeliac disease compared to a control population with lower genetic risk for these conditions. The investigators will also evaluate the proportion of these identified cases progressing to clinically diagnosed disease. The aim of this study is to investigate evidence of autoimmunity prior to disease development and generate pilot data for the validity of screening based on genetic predisposition for type 1 diabetes and coeliac disease.
