Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if BMS-512148 (Dapagliflozin) can help reduce the blood sugar levels in Asian patients with Type 2 Diabetes who are not well controlled on metformin alone. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

MK-8835-042 (B1521004) is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of an investigational drug, ertugliflozin (MK-8835, PF-04971729), in participants with type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Participants in the study will receive 1 of 5 treatments for 28 days (either placebo, 1 of 3 doses of ertugliflozin [1, 5, or 25 mg], or the approved drug hydrochlorothiazide [HCTZ]). The primary hypothesis of the study was that ertugliflozin was superior to placebo on the change from baseline in average, 24-hour systolic blood pressure (SBP) on Day 28.

The aim of the study is to investigate the longterm impact on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, relevant efficacy parameters (e.g., glycaemic parameters) and safety (e.g., weight and hypoglycaemia) of treatment with linagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes at elevated cardiovascular risk receiving usual care, and compare outcome against glimepiride.

The purpose of the study is to compare the pharmacodynamic effects of lixisenatide (AVE0010), in comparison to liraglutide, as an add-on treatment to metformin, over a period of 4 weeks of treatment. The primary objective is to assess the effects of lixisenatide, in comparison to liraglutide, in reducing postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) assessed as area under the plasma glucose concentration curve (AUC) after a standardized breakfast at Week 4. The secondary objectives are to assess the effects of lixisenatide on the maximum PPG excursion, and on the changes in insulin, pro-insulin, C-peptide and glucagon plasma concentrations following a standardized breakfast, 24-hour profile of plasma glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), satiety markers (obestatin, peptide YY [PYY3-36] and oxyntomodulin); and to assess the clinical and laboratory safety profile.

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 metformin with or without sulfonylurea, over a period of 24 weeks of treatment. The primary objective is to assess the effects on glycemic control of lixisenatide (AVE0010) in comparison to placebo as an add-on treatment to metformin with or without sulfonylurea in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction (absolute change) at Week 24. The secondary objectives are to assess the effects of lixisenatide over 24 weeks on percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than (< ) 7 percent (%) or HbA1c less than or equal to (<=) 6.5%, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) and glucose excursion during standardized meal test, body weight; to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK) and anti-lixisenatide antibody development.

Primary Objective: To compare patient-led titration (intervention group) versus physician-led titration (usual standard of care) in optimizing the clinical use of insulin glargine in an Asian population of patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) uncontrolled on oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs). Secondary Objectives: To determine the difference in glycemic control, safety, quality of life and treatment satisfaction between patient-led titration and usual care.

The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BI 10773 compared to placebo and sitagliptin given for 24 weeks as monotherapy in patients with T2DM with insufficient glycaemic control. For the open-label part of the study the objective is to estimate the efficacy and safety of BI 10773 when given for 24 weeks in patients with T2DM with very poor glycaemic control.

The study is being conducted to compare the effect of standard treatment (target LDL-C level: <120 mg/dL (JASGL 2007 target level)) and intensive treatment (target LDL-C level: <70 mg/dL) in the prevention of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in hypercholesterolemia patients with concomitant type 2 diabetes and hypertension.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the study drug in treating type 2 diabetes in children 10 to 17 years old. The groups will be low-dose (0.625 g Welchol) and high-dose (3.75 g Welchol). The children will have a 2 in 5 chance of being assigned to the low-dose group. They will have a 3 in 5 chance of being assigned to the high-dose group. We believe the study drug will be safe, well tolerated, and improve blood sugar control in children 10 to 17 years old.

This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of BI 10773 in type 2 diabetic patients in order to provide these data for approval for BI 10773 by regulatory authorities as an antidiabetic agent as add-on therapy to pioglitazone alone or in combination with metformin.
