Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

A clinical study to determine the safety, efficacy and the way sitagliptin works in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who have inadequate glycemic (blood sugar) control.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether atazanavir use is of influence on the endothelial dysfunction associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Patients with diabetes are more likely to develop furring of their coronary arteries and present with angina and heart attacks. Furthermore, after such an event, they have poorer outcomes (higher rates of death) and survivors are more likely to have recurring symptoms. Using a novel "clotting chamber" the investigators have shown that patients with diabetes are more likely to develop blood clots. This study will look at the role of different blood thinning medications in patients with diabetes. If successful, the investigators will provide evidence to conduct large clinical studies to look at the role of additional blood thinning medication in reducing heart attacks and strokes in patients with diabetes.

The objective of the current study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of BI 1356 (5 mg / once daily) given for 78 weeks in different modalities of treatment. The treatment modalities are determined by the treatment in the blinded trial in which every patient was included previously as BI 1356 in monotherapy (patients in 1218.16 trial), BI 1356 in combination with pioglitazone (patients in 1218.15 trial), BI 1356 added to metformin background (patients in 1218.17 trial) or BI 1356 added to a background therapy of metformin in combination with a sulphonylurea (patients in 1218.18 study)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and risks of lixisenatide (AVE0010), in comparison to placebo, as an add-on treatment to basal insulin with or without metformin over a period of 24 weeks of treatment, followed by an extension. The primary objective is to assess the effects of lixisenatide when added to basal insulin on glycemic control in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction at Week 24. The secondary objectives are to assess the effects of lixisenatide when added to basal insulin on body weight, 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) after standardized meal challenge test, percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than 7 percent (%), percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than or equal to 6.5%, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), change in 7-point self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) profiles, change in basal insulin and total insulin doses; to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and anti-lixisenatide antibody development.

This is a Phase 1 study, involving a 1-day dosing period, designed to test the safety of investigational study drug ARRY-403 in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Approximately 36 patients from the US will be enrolled in this study.

This is a 2-3 period parallel group study with an adaptive element in Type 2 diabetes patients receiving vildagliptin as add-on therapy to metformin

This study is designed to demonstrate the long-term safety of vildagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes. This study will study vildagliptin as add-on therapy with metformin, thiazolidinedione, α-glucosidase inhibitor (α-GI), rapid-acting insulin secretagogues in the treatment of type 2 diabetes in Japan.

The objective of the current study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of two doses of BI 10773 compared to placebo given for 24 weeks as add-on therapy to metformin or metformin plus sulfonylurea in patients with Typ 2 Diabetes Mellitus with insufficient glycaemic control.

TC-6987 is a selective nicotinic α-7 receptor ligand (open channel stabilizer) that has demonstrated potent anti-inflammatory/antioxidant properties in animal models. Following the oral administration of a 1mg/kg dose of TC-6987 to diabetic mice (db/db mouse) for 7 weeks, numerous metabolic improvements were observed. Specifically, plasma glucose and triglyceride concentrations declined by approximately 30%; Hb1Ac was reduced by nearly 50%; and TNF-α declined more than 60% relative to control db/db mice Therefore, it appears that TC-6987 could prove beneficial in reducing elevated glucose concentrations in diabetic patients as well as in ameliorating organ damage associated with inflammation, oxidative stress and hyperglycemia.
