Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Effect of Dapagliflozin on 24-hour Blood Glucose in Type 2 Diabetes Patients Inadequately Controlled With Either Metformin Or Insulin

The purpose of this study is to determine whether PF-06291874 is effective in the treatment T2DM

Diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disorder, causes many complications such as micro- and macro-vascular diseases. Various kinds of antidiabetic drugs have been developed, but most of them have side effects. Recently, the use of natural plant products has gained more attention among scientists in order to prevent diabetic vascular complications. Curcumin is a natural yellow product derived from the turmeric rhizome which has shown to be non-toxic and exhibits various bio¬logical activities such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-diabetic effects. Curcumin is effective in reducing glycemic index and hyperlipidemia in rodent models and is relatively inexpensive and safe. Most of the studies conducted on animal model, and just a few of them are on human model. The present study was planned to evaluate the effects of curcumin supplementation The effect of curcumin supplementation on anthropometric indices, insulin resistance and oxidative stress in patients with type 2 diabetes

Incretinomimetics and inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) are new treatments for diabetes. Previous retrospective studies have shown that these treatments induced an increase in pancreatic mass with potentially a risk for pancreatitis and development of precancerous lesions. The aim of our study is to provide a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of increased volume and / or pancreatic exocrine secretion when exposed to certain treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Lobeglitazone is highly selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma agonist that decreases insulin resistance in the periphery and liver resulting in increased insulin-dependent glucose disposal and decreased hepatic glucose output. In vivo, It demonstrates that Lobeglitazone improves even more glycemic and lipid control in comparison to rosiglitazone and pioglitazone. Currently, thiazolidinediones such as pioglitazone is the only drug which is considered as an effective therapeutic agent for improving non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NALFD) in type 2 diabetes (T2D). The aim of this multicenter, prospective, open-labeled, single-arm, exploratory phase 4 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Lobeglitazone once daily for 24 weeks on intrahepatic fat contents assessed by transient elastography (fibroscan) in T2D with NAFLD. Fifty subjects with T2D and NAFLD will take Lobeglitazone (0.5mg/tablet, orally, 1 tablet once daily) for 24 weeks. Primary endpoint is changes from baseline in controlled attenuation parameters (CAP) measured by transient elastography (fibroscan) after treatment with Lobeglitazone. Secondary endpoints are changes from baseline in glycemic profiles (HbA1c, Glycated albumin), Lipid parameters (Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL-C, LDL-C), Liver function parameters (AST, ALT, r-GT), and adverse events during the trial.

In this research study, Investigators will be comparing the effects of a medication Saxagliptin versus placebo (a similar looking pill that contains no medication) on inflammation in the body. Research Hypothesis DPP-4 inhibition by saxagliptin (ONGLYZA™) reduces adipose tissue inflammation in obese individuals and this is characterized by decreases in a) reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, b) toll-like receptors (TLR) and NF-kappa B pathway activation, c) expression of pro-inflammatory genes, d) macrophage infiltration, and e) secretion of pro-inflammatory factors.

Primary Objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of H0E901-U300 to Lantus, in change of glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Secondary Objectives: To demonstrate the superiority of H0E901-U300 in comparison with Lantus in: Percentage of participants with at least one severe and/or confirmed (by plasma glucose ≤70mg/dL [3.9mmol/L]) hypoglycemia event from 22:00 to 08:59 next morning Percentage of participants with at least one nocturnal (from 00:00-05:59) severe and/or confirmed (≤70mg/dL [3.9mmol/L]) hypoglycemia event Percentage of participants with at least one severe and/or confirmed (by plasma glucose ≤70mg/dL [3.9mmol/L]) hypoglycemia event occurring at any time of day HbA1c change

Specific Aim 1.To examine whether the combination of liraglutide plus canagliflozin can prevent the increase in Hepatic Glucose Production (HGP) following institution of canagliflozin therapy and produce an additive or even synergistic effect to lower the plasma glucose concentration and A1c. Specific Aim 2: To examine whether combination therapy with liraglutide plus canagliflozin can produce an additive, or even synergistic, effect to promote weight loss and reduction in hepatic and visceral fat content. Specific Aim 3. To examine whether combination therapy with liraglutide plus canagliflozin can produce an additive or even synergistic effect to reduce systolic/diastolic blood pressure and 24-hour integrated blood pressure.

Assess efficacy and safety of Omacor® 4g with statin treatment for lowering TG levels in subjects with type 2 Diabetes combined with hyperlipidemia

This trial is conducted in Japan. The purpose is to compare the safety of once-weekly dosing of semaglutide (0.5 and 1.0 mg) versus sitagliptin (100 mg) once daily, both as monotherapy during 30 weeks of treatment in Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes.
