Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial using a single dose of 100 mg sildenafil or placebo in 40 subjects with T2DM without known cardiovascular disease. Effects on haemodynamic parameters, flow mediated dilatation (FMD) in brachial artery, cardiovascular autonomic function tests, and spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) were investigated.

We wish to evaluate the effect of long term treatment with a DPP-IV inhibitor on the function of the incretin hormones Hypothesis We hypothesize that that a gradual improvement in metabolic control induced by DPP-IV inhibitor (Januvia®) treatment significantly ameliorates the impaired secretion and potency of GLP-1 and leads to a restoration of the lost action of GIP.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus, T2D is a disease characterized by an immense growing prevalence world wide with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. GLP-1 has convincing effects on the high glucose levels in type 2 diabetic patients and is well tolerated. New animal studies indicate a protective effect of GLP-1 in the brain and the heart. The mechanism behind this is yet not known. The study hypothesis is that during hypoglycaemia GLP-1 will stimulate glucose-uptake in the brain and heart independent of insulin and thereby exert protective effects in the brain.

The hypothesis of this study is that bed rest in diabetic patients will result in a deterioration of metabolic control (primarily glucose). Specific aims: To determine the change in metabolic control in type 2 diabetic individuals when three days of bed rest is compared to three days of activity; To determine the rate of progression of the deterioration in metabolic control and the magnitude of the decrease; To assess whether the anticipated deterioration of metabolic control has effects on several parameters of glucose metabolism, including hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia; To determine the effects of bed rest on surrogate markers of atherosclerosis, such as plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI1), C-reactive protein (CRP), and homocysteine. To compare the effects of 48 hours of bed rest on orthostatic responses in type 2 diabetic patients, and healthy non-diabetics. To make recommendations to the diabetic community to prevent metabolic deterioration during a 3 day hospitalization.

A meal rich in very-long chain omega-3 fatty acids or oleic acid may lower postprandial insulin levels in comparison to a meal rich in linoleic acid or palmitic acid. A meal rich in very long-chain omega-3 fatty acids may lower postprandial triglyceride levels compared to other fatty acids.

This trial is conducted in Japan. The purpose of this trial is to investigate the safety and the effect of biphasic insulin aspart 50 compared to biphasic human insulin 50 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

A dose-ranging study of MK0431 in patients with type 2 diabetes who have inadequate control of their blood sugar.

The purpose of this 32 week study is to demonstrate that fixed-dose combination treatment with rosiglitazone/metformin will safely and effectively control glycemia as first line oral therapy in subjects type 2 diabetes. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate superiority of rosiglitazone/metformin compared to its rosiglitazone and metformin.

As exenatide slows the rate at which materials leave the stomach, it is likely to alter the rate of intestinal absorption of oral drugs when administered within a certain timeframe relative to exenatide. In addition, the residence time within the stomach of other medication may be prolonged and data from this study will help assess the change in residence time in the presence of therapeutic doses of exenatide. This study will also evaluate the relationship between blood levels of exenatide and parameters measuring rate of stomach emptying.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate whether mitiglinide administered in combination with metformin is more effective than metformin alone in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) whose blood sugar is not well controlled taking metformin alone. This is a 24 week study which measures improvement in blood sugar after of treatment.
