Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

A multiple dose study to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of an investigational drug in patients with type 2 diabetes. The primary hypotheses of the study are that multiple daily MK-0941 in subjects with T2DM with or without adequate control on metformin will be sufficiently safe and well tolerated to permit continued clinical investigation.

The purpose of this study is to compare the kinetics and biodynamics of inhaled Technosphere Insulin with those of subcutaneous (SC) regular human insulin.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and type 2 diabetes mellitus are two prevalent medical conditions with significant associated cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. Research indicates that the prevalence of OSA is increased in diabetic patients when compared with normoglycemic patients and that OSA is independently associated with type 2 diabetes. Further research suggests that effective treatment of the OSA with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) improves insulin responsiveness in both non-diabetic OSA patients and diabetic-OSA patients. We are proposing a clinical trial to evaluate the impact of 6 months of CPAP therapy on glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients with OSA. The primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of CPAP in improving glycemic control (HbA1c) in type 2 diabetic patients with newly diagnosed OSA. Secondary objectives of this study include: assessment of fasting and post prandial glucose, determination as to whether there are any biochemical markers for OSA in the type 2 diabetic population; assessment of any improvements in cardiovascular outcomes; evaluation of any improvement in quality of life. Patients with OSA will be randomized into one of two groups: either a CPAP treatment group or a non-treatment group. Patients will be followed at 3 months and 6 months with collection of various lab tests to assess glycemic control.

This trial is conducted in Asia. The aim of this trial is to compare the efficacy of postprandial plasma glucose of two treatment regimens in Chinese subjects.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy response of rivoglitazone HCl on the change in HbA1c after 12 weeks of treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a disease that interferes with the body's proper production and use of insulin, a hormone needed to convert sugar into usable energy. People with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) are at a higher risk for certain cardiovascular diseases, including heart disease and stroke. Normal treatments for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) target blood sugar levels only, but there is reason to believe that also targeting blood fat levels will improve both sugar metabolism and heart function in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, (T2DM.) This study will determine the effectiveness of blood-fat lowering treatments along with blood-sugar control treatments in improving heart function and symptoms of people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus(T2DM), and if this varies between men and women.

This is a 16-week double-blind, placebo-controlled (for colesevelam hydrochloride (HCl)) study in the type 2 diabetic subjects and pre-diabetic subjects. Diabetic participants will also be treated with open label, background,metformin HCl. Two-hundred sixty subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and 200 pre-diabetic subjects are planned to be be enrolled. Qualified subjects with T2DM will be randomized 1:1 to receive metformin HCl plus colesevelam HCl or metformin HCl plus placebo matching colesevelam HCl. Qualified pre-diabetic subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive colesevelam HCl or matching placebo.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of green tea extract (GTE) on type 2 diabetes and to explore the relationship between GTE and related hormone peptides.

This trial is conducted in Asia. The trial is designed to compare the effect on glycaemic control of liraglutide or glimepiride added to metformin in subjects with type 2 diabetes

The aim of the study is to evaluate the short-term effects of tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA) on plasma lipids and glucose in male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia
