Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this clinical trial is to assess and compare the effect on blood sugar control of insulin detemir and insulin aspart or insulin detemir alone administered by a insulin pen PDS290 (FlexTouch®) versus a Novo Nordisk marketed insulin pen (FlexPen®) in subjects with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, the subject's preference of the devices will be investigated by the use of questionnaires.

A multicenter, multinational, randomized,double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Patients with inadequate glycemic control using diet and exercise alone, or in combination with metformin, will be enrolled. The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that LY2428757 given to patients with T2DM inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone, or metformin monotherapy, produces a significant decrease in the mean hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline to endpoint at 12 weeks as compared to placebo. Trial consists of 12 weeks of double-blind treatment and 4-week safety follow-up.

This study is intended to assess safety and tolerability of ASP1941 compared to placebo in adult subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus

This is a study designed to compare the effects of 2 long-acting insulins, detemir and insulatard, on energy expenditure,weight, fat composition, gut hormone profiles, glycaemic control and fat and muscle gene expression over a 6 month period.

to determine safety, efficacy and tolerability of BI 1356 versus placebo

This proposal is to fund a pilot study to assess feasibility and refine methodology for an intended large Scotland wide study on Response to Oral Agents in Diabetes (ROAD). The study will collect cohorts of patients who have carefully controlled standardised dose titration and monitoring with an assessment of drug response and side effects over a 6 month period. The primary aim will be to use these cohorts to investigate phenotypic and genotypic (pharmacogenetic) determinants of response. Drug naïve patients will be treated with Metformin. Patients who have failed on Metformin or are intolerant of Metformin will be randomised to gliclazide, pioglitazone or sitagliptin. With the ability to capture patient data beyond 6 months via data linkage we will monitor time to treatment failure and therefore compare which of the 3 oral agents is the best therapy to use after Metformin in a cost efficient and "real world" RCT.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the baseline body mass index (BMI) on the response to Glucophage XR monotherapy in glycemic control in Chinese patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of pioglitazone, once daily (QD), and glimepiride combination therapy compared to glimepiride monotherapy in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes.

This study will assess the effect of combined treatment with MK0893 plus propranolol versus placebo plus propranolol on hypoglycemia.

Patients with diabetes have dysfunction of the lining of the arteries which lead to impaired circulation in the small blood vessels. This is thought to be secondary to reduced chemicals in the blood viz: nitric oxide. This chemical is derived from an amino acid (protein) L-arginine. Therefore, the researchers investigated whether giving patients L-arginine (versus dummy powder) would improve the blood flow in the small blood vessels in the lower limbs of patients with damage to their nerves (neuropathy).
