Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn whether Saxagliptin added to thiazolidinedione (TZD) therapy is more effective than TZD alone as a treatment for Type 2 diabetic subjects who are not sufficiently controlled with TZD alone

Protocol Title: Randomized open label study comparing the metabolic control of first Kidney Transplant recipients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) receiving either Prograf or Neoral as part of a ATG induction, prednisone free and blood monitored Cellcept immunosuppressive regimen. PURPOSE This is a single center medical research study to analyze post-transplant kidney recipients with pre-existing type 2 diabetes managed according to the recommended American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines. Prograf (Tac) and Neoral (CSA) are the two main medications to prevent rejection after transplantation. However, they may contribute to poorer diabetes control. The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of Prograf and Neoral on the control of Diabetes after kidney transplantation. In addition, all participants in this study will receive Thymoglobulin (anti-lymphocyte globulin) at the time of transplantation instead of long term prednisone (steroids).

This is a study to compare the safety, blood concentrations, and effects of GSK189075, GW869682, and placebo when dosed for 2-weeks by mouth to patients with type 2 diabetes.

This is a clinical study to determine the safety and efficacy of an investigational drug in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of rosiglitazone in normotensive type 2 diabetic patients with regard to its blood-pressure-reducing effects.

The clinical study determines the safety and efficacy of MK0431 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have inadequate glycemic control on pioglitazone as monotherapy.

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The study will compare A1C reduction achieved in patients receiving biphasic insulin aspart 70/30 once or twice daily to patients receiving exenatide twice daily. Patients enrolled in the study will be insulin naive patients who have not achieved glycemic control with metformin and sulfonylurea.

Please note this study is not being conducted in the United States. The purpose of this study is to assess the acute effects of vildagliptin, an unapproved drug, in reducing post-meal glucose levels by delaying gastric emptying.

It has been shown in previous study that progressive glycemic deterioration was associated with progressive loss of b-cell function, measured by the decrease in plasma insulin levels, irrespective of the therapy used (diet, sulfonylureas or metformin).There is growing evidence that thiazolidinediones could have a positive action on the b-cell function. But it has not yet been demonstrated that they could protect from a deterioration in insulin secretion in the long term. So, it appears interesting to study the long term evolution of the b-cell function and the possible protection with rosiglitazone in patients with type 2 diabetes showing evidence of loss of b-cell function with metformin alone.

This trial is designed to compare the effects of twice-daily (before lunch and before dinner) exenatide plus oral antidiabetic (OAD) agents and twice-daily (before breakfast and before dinner) exenatide plus OAD with respect to glycemic control (HbA1c) in patients with type 2 diabetes.
