Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to investigate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (the rate at which the body eliminates the trial drug) and pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) of NN9924 in healthy male subjects

This study will assess the efficacy and safety/tolerability of 4 doses of Imeglimin versus placebo. The study will be performed in subjects with type 2 diabetes either naive of treatment or previously treated with an oral monotherapy excluding thiazolidinedione.

Rationale: Hypertension is an important risk factor of cardiovascular disease, especially in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A relatively recent development for the treatment of hypertension is the use of breathing exercises. The investigators' previous studies with a breathing device did not show any positive results. However, these studies and other trials investigating the effects of breathing devices had not a double-blind design. Therefore, the investigators want to perform a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial in a population of T2DM patients. Objective: To determine the effect of a device slowing breathing (Resperate©) on office systolic blood pressure (SBP) in diabetic patients with treated hypertension with moderate BP control. Study design: A randomized, double-blind, controlled trial. Study population: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, over 18 years old and a baseline systolic blood pressure between 140-160 mm Hg. Intervention: One group receives treatment with a breathing device (Resperate©) and the other group receives treatment with a "control" breathing device. The latter device does not try to alter the breathing pattern. Main study parameters/endpoints: The effect of the breathing device on SBP is the main study parameter. Secondary endpoints include diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and quality of life.

This study is designed to support the use of valsartan in the diabetic population. Two different groups will be studied, one with and one without coronary artery disease (CAD) documented by angiography. The study is intended to demonstrate that valsartan 320 mg has an anti-inflammatory potential, reducing inflammatory serum markers as well as inflammatory gene expression, and to show that valsartan is able to improve metabolic parameters in this patient population. Furthermore, in the subgroup of patients with documented CAD this study wants to show that valsartan improves coronary perfusion. 3 Objectives Primary objectives: To demonstrate the anti-inflammatory efficacy of valsartan 160/320 mg by testing the hypothesis of superiority compared to placebo in the reduction of the inflammatory marker Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) in plasma after 16 weeks of treatment in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. To demonstrate the anti-inflammatory efficacy of valsartan 160/320 mg by testing the hypothesis of superiority compared to placebo in the reduction of the inflammatory marker Interleukin 6 (IL-6) in plasma after 16 weeks of treatment in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Secondary objectives: To explore the effect of 160/320 mg valsartan on parameters of insulin sensitivity. To explore the effect of 160/320 mg valsartan on additional inflammatory markers in plasma [e.g. C-Reactive protein (CRP), soluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), serum amyloid A (SAA), soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L), fibrinogen, Interleukin 1β (IL-1β), matrix metalloproteases -2, -3 and -9 (MMP-2, -3, -9), and sE-selectin)]. To explore the effect of 160/320 mg valsartan on inflammatory gene expression from monocytes and fat tissue. To explore the effect of 160/320 mg valsartan on metabolic gene expression in fat tissue. To explore the effect of 160/320 mg valsartan on coronary perfusion, in the group of patients with angiographically documented CAD.

Vago-sympathetic activity, arterial stiffness and endothelial function are integrators of cardiovascular risk. The aim of this pilot study is, in type 2 diabetic patients now requiring insulin, to compare the effects of improving glycemic control on these parameters with 3 different insulin regimens which will act especially at fasting or in post-prandial periods or both. Non invasive explorations will be performed before randomization and after 4 to 5 weeks of insulin therapy, at fasting and each hour after a standardized breakfast.

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of RO5095932 in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients that are on stable metformin therapy are eligible to enter the study. There will be a 5-weeks exenatide run in period and a 5-weeks period when co-administered with the study drug. RO5095932 will be administered subcutaneously as a single dose or as escalating doses. Patients will be randomized to receive either active drug or placebo in weeks 1 to 4. Active drug or placebo will be administered once weekly for 4 weeks. Patients who received active drug in weeks 1 to 4 will receive placebo in week 5. Patients who received a single dose of placebo in weeks 1 to 4, will receive a single dose of active drug in week 5. The anticipated time of study treatment is <6 months. The target sample size is <100 patients.

The purpose of this study is to obtain continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data from individuals taking Welchol compared to placebo. The CGM data will determine the effect on glucose control of adding Welchol to an anti-diabetic medication regimen.

This study will evaluate the effect of ACZ885 on vascular function in patients with documented atherosclerotic disease and T2DM or IGT.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Diamel (dietary supplement) administration in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes receiving insulin therapy. The duration of this double-blind placebo controlled phase 3 clinical trial will be 24 weeks. The estimated number of patients to be recruited and randomized for the study is 116. Daily insulin requirements, blood glucose (fasting and post-prandial) concentrations, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), triglycerides and cholesterol will be assessed at the beginning and after 24 weeks of treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of LX4211 versus a placebo control in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
