Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This study will look at whether or not the medication exenatide improves signs and symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in people with type 2 diabetes and mild to moderate diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of adding alogliptin, once daily (QD), compared to glipizide with metformin in diabetic patients.

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

People with type 2 diabetes mellitus (earlier known as maturity onset diabetes mellitus) have high blood levels of sugar and fat. This study is being done to determine if excessive sugar entering the blood in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus is caused by excessive fat. We will also evaluate how the anti-diabetic medications, pioglitazone and metformin taken by mouth work to control blood sugar in people with diabetes.

The purpose of the proposed work is to assess the effects of a dietary supplement, containing chromium (600 mcg per day) provided by chromium picolinate and biotin (2 mg per day) on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes. Specifically, this study will assess whether use of the supplement will lower the post-prandial rise in blood glucose experienced after ingestion of a 75g carbohydrate load, relative to placebo, in type 2 diabetic patients. The study will also assess the chronic effects of supplementation over a 4-week period (relative to placebo) on fasting plasma levels of glucose, insulin, lipids and lipoproteins.

Pulmonary Safety in Diabetics with T/I

The objective of the study is to test the efficacy, safety and tolerability of several doses of BI 1356 BS (1, 5, or 10 mg taken once daily) compared to placebo given for 12 weeks together with metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are not at goal with their HbA1c levels. In addition, there will be an unblinded treatment arm with glimepiride as add-on therapy to metformin for comparison. The influence of several factors (gender, age, weight, race, etc.) on the bioavailability and efficacy of BI 1356 BS will also be tested in this study.

Primary objective: To compare efficacy of oral antidiabetics (OAD) combination therapy with either HOE901 insulin analogue once daily or Lispro insulin analogue at mealtime in terms of change in HbA1c (baseline to endpoint). Secondary objectives: To compare the OAD combination therapy with either HOE901 insulin analogue once daily or Lispro insulin analogue at mealtime in terms of efficacy and safety.

The hypotheses to be tested are 1) the use of alcohol in the form of wine with the evening meal will lower plasma glucose during the night and result in lower fasting plasma glucose the next morning; 2) the chronic use of alcohol in moderation in the form of wine will have beneficial effects on plasma lipids in type 2 diabetic subjects.
