Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This Phase I clinical study is to evaluate the safety/tolerability and pharmacokinetics of DA-1229_01 and to investigate the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of DA-1229_01 in healthy male volunteers

This study is designed to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of RO6799477 following once daily oral administration for 2 weeks in healthy volunteers (Part 1) and in Type 2 diabetes patients (T2D) (Part 2). The anticipated time on study treatment is two weeks.

Cardiovascular disease is a major public health problem in our country. Among the causes of cardiovascular diseases are High Blood Pressure (HBP) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Type 2 diabetes (DM2) is associated with a twofold risk of cardiovascular disease, and endothelial dysfunction is an early marker of vascular complications. There is evidence of action of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) on endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle. Vildagliptin is a drug used in the treatment of DM2 able to prolong the activity of GLP-1, improving glycemic control and endothelial function. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of vildagliptin on endothelial function in patients with DM2 and hypertension using the Endo-PAT 2000 device.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of co-administration of Teneligliptin (MP-513) and Canagliflozin (TA-7284) once daily for 52 weeks in Japanese patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus who are receiving treatment with Teneligliptin and have inadequate glycemic control.

The primary objective of the current study was to investigate the safety and tolerability of BI 1356 BS following administration of multiple rising oral doses of 1 mg, 2.5 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg over 12 days in male patients with type 2 diabetes.

To assess the safety and effectiveness of two doses of SugarDown in two different doses vs. placebo on serum glucose levels after meals in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes treated with metformin alone. There will be five visits, a screening visit, baseline visit, and 3 treatment visits. The study duration will be five weeks. Subjects will all receive placebo tablets at the baseline visit, eat a standard rice meal, and then serum glucose levels will be measured in frequent intervals over four hours immediately following the meal. Subjects will be randomized to one of the six treatment sequences. Patients will take in an unknown order one week of placebo, one week of 4 g dose and one week of 8 g dose of SugarDown immediately before breakfast, lunch and dinner meals. Patients will continue their usual metformin regimen during the trial period.

The purpose of this project is two-fold: (1) to determine the feasibility of recruiting rural African American (AA) adults in South Carolina (SC) for assessing the usefulness of tablet-based resources in good diabetes self-management behaviors, and (2) to test a tablet-aided intervention for improving diabetes self-management behaviors

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of GSK2330672 compared to sitagliptin when administered with metformin for 14 days to subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Approximately 72 male and female subjects aged 30-64 years with T2DM and currently taking metformin will be recruited for this study. Eligible subjects will begin a run-in period of 13-15 days to stabilize on metformin 850 milligram (mg) twice a day (BID). Subjects will then be randomized to GSK2330672 10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, 90 mg, matching placebo or open-label sitagliptin 50 mg for 14 days BID. Subjects will return for a follow-up visit 7-10 days after discharge.

Prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing worldwide. Lifestyle remains the cornerstone treatment for patients with T2D who are often overweight and sedentary. Physical activity improves glucose metabolism of patients with T2D : increased glucose utilization during acute muscle activity and improved insulin sensitivity after regular training. The molecular mechanism underlying the effects of exercise on glucose metabolism involves the glucose transporter GLUT-4 which is regulated by physical activity. Several studies and meta-analysis have showed that physical activity reduces HbA1c by 0.6% on average. In addition, other data suggest a decrease in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality through physical activity. Recent recommendations for T2D management call for the practice of a structured type of endurance 150 minutes per week and muscle building 2 times per week. However, implementation of these recommendations is low, even when integrated into a therapeutic education program. Adherence is often transient and / or partial. In addition, many T2D subjects are unable to initiate a physical activity because of disabling complications or comorbidities or because of a major cardiorespiratory deconditioning. Neuro-myo electrical stimulation (NMES) is a physical treatment routinely used in functional rehabilitation to improve muscle strength and volume. The metabolic effect of NMES has been little studied. A pilot study conducted by our team on a population of 18 subjects with T2D showed that a week of daily NMES sessions significantly improved insulin sensitivity of about 25% and up to 50 % for good responders. This result contrasted with the low induced energy expenditure by each 20-minute session of bi-quadricipital NMES, suggesting the possibility of a humoral or neural mechanism associated with NMES. To complete this work, we plan a randomized cross-over trial with 3 periods (6 weeks without NMES (control), 6 weeks with 3 sessions of NMES per week and 6 weeks with 5 sessions of NMES per week) to assess the glucose profile of sedentary T2D subjects during these different periods. We hypothesize that the bi-quadricipital NMES could improve glycemic control in T2D subjects and thus represent an alternative to traditional physical activity.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about how U500 regular insulin can be effectively be used to treat type 2 diabetes. Most insulin treated patients with type 2 diabetes take U100 insulin, but if they require large doses (such as >150 units a day) they may experience pain at this site of injection and the absorption of the insulin is unpredictable, thereby leading to poor glucose control. To overcome these problems, doctors sometimes switch to a more concentrated form of insulin called U500 insulin. U500 is five times as concentrated as U100 insulin and therefore delivers an equivalent dose of insulin in much lesser volume. However, how to best use U-500 insulin is not certain. The investigators are not really sure how long a given dose is effective in patients who require large doses (>150 units of U100 insulin), so are not sure of how often the drug should be administered. In this study, the investigators will determine how effective two different doses of U-500 regular insulin (100 U and 200 U) are in lowering blood sugar and how long these two doses last. This information will help doctors develop better treatment plans for patients with type 2 diabetes.
