Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This study is designed to look at the effect sitagliptin has on tacrolimus and sirolimus drug levels in kidney transplant patients. It is also designed to look at the side effects experienced in the transplant population.

This study will assess the reno-protective effect of renin inhibition with aliskiren as an alternative to irbesartan in type 2 diabetes patients with incipient/overt diabetic nephropathy.

This randomized controlled prospective study aims to evaluate the efficacy of intensive insulin therapy for long term glycemic control and improvement or preservation of beta cell function in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients.

This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and South America. This trial aims for a comparison of biphasic insulin aspart 30 once daily versus insulin glargine once daily all in combination with metformin and glimepiride in insulin naive subjects with type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes is associated with dyslipidaemia leading to generalized atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and nephropathy. Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a glycoprotein involved in bone homeostasis, has been implicated in the pathogenesis leading up vessel calcification. Furthermore, CVD in diabetics is associated with increased levels of OPG. Aim: To investigate whether low dose simvastatin treatment (10-20 mg/day) reduces circulating levels of OPG as well as adhesion molecules (VCAM-1; vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, ICAM; intercellular cell adhesion molecule).

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effect of several daily doses of ketoconazole (a medication used to treat fungal infections like athlete's foot) on a single dose of GSK189075 (an experimental diabetes drug), and also to evaluate the safety and tolerability of GSK189075 in healthy volunteers. The study will see whether ketoconazole causes GSK189075 to stay in your bloodstream for a longer period of time. It will also examine whether GSK189075 causes any changes in the amount of glucose you have in your urine.

This is an open-label study that will measure blood levels of different parts of a drug called GKS189075. People participating in this study will receive a single dose of 250mg GSK189075 by mouth. About 20 people with mild to moderate decrease in renal (kidney) function will be asked to participate in this study. They will be compared to about 20 healthy participants who are close to the same age and body size. People participating in this study will stay at a clinical research unit beginning 2 days before they receive their single dose of GSK189075 and will remain there until approximately one day after receiving the study drug. During this study urine will be collected beginning the day before receiving study drug until the day after, just prior to leaving the clinical research unit. Blood samples will also be collected at various times beginning immediately before until 24 hours after receiving the study drug.

This study will investigate efficacy and safety of vildagliptin in patients with low baseline levels starting at an HbA1C level of 6.5% to support convenient early intervention with combination therapies. In parallel, morning and evening dosing will be evaluated in this patient population for the first time.

The Worksite Nutrition Study is 22-week translational study aimed at determining how well a worksite-based nutrition program, as compared to a control group, is able to 1) produce clinically significant weight-loss, 2) improve cardiovascular factors, 3) decrease work absenteeism, 4) improve overall quality of life, 5) improve diabetes control in participants with diabetes, and 6) promote dietary adherence and acceptability. The nutrition program for the intervention group consists of once-weekly group meetings where participants will receive group support and nutrition education on a low-fat, vegan diet.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of an investigational treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus.
