Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Metformin hydrochloride in its immediate release (IR) form has been successfully used for decades in the treatment of type 2 diabetes; however the IR formulation may be associated with gastrointestinal side effects (especially nausea, diarrhea) in 20-30% patients, which can limit the tolerated dose, reduce adherence and result in discontinuation of therapy. Metformin hydrochloride extended release formulations have been developed to overcome these problems. In India, extended release formulations of metformin hydrochloride include metformin SR 1000mg tablet and combination of metformin hydrochloride SR 1000mg/glimepiride 2mg tablet. In the combination tablet, only metformin hydrochloride is in the extended release form. In view of the fact that extended release metformin hydrochloride is usually recommended with a meal, that food is known to affect the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of metformin and that there is a potential for dose dumping with extended release formulations that may lead to side effects similar to IR formulations, a study to estimate the magnitude of the food effect for these formulations in fed state compared to the fasting state is warranted. This study will be a randomized, single-center, open-label, single-dose, three-period, 6 sequence crossover study in 30 healthy adult volunteers to estimate the bioavailability of metformin from metformin hydrochloride 1000mg SR tablet given in fasting condition relative to metformin hydrochloride 1000mg SR tablet and a fixed dose combination of metformin hydrochloride 1000mg SR /glimepiride 2mg tablet, each given in fed condition. The safety and tolerability profile of metformin SR 1000mg tablet and metformin hydrochloride SR 1000mg/glimepiride 2mg tablet will also be evaluated in this study. The primary PK endpoints will be Cmax and AUC (0-∞). The secondary PK endpoints will include AUC (0-t), Tmax , T lag, Kel and t1/2. Safety endpoints will include vital signs, ECG, physical examination, clinical laboratory tests and adverse event reporting.

The objective of this study is to investigate the different mechanisms by which Gastric Bypass (GBP), laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) and vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) affect glucose control. We wish to understand the role of weight loss versus changes in gut peptides in the short and long term in morbidly obese patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus after GBP, LAGB or VSG. The 2 surgical groups will be compared at 10% equivalent weight loss and at after surgery in terms of gut hormones levels, insulin secretion and glucose control.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of escalating multiple doses over 2 weeks of CAT 1004 compared to placebo in patients with Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Secondary objectives include evaluation of the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics of escalating multiple doses of CAT-1004 in patients with T2D.

The primary purpose of this study is to see whether a tool that predict blood glucose and suggest therapy advices can help type 1 diabetic patients.

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to establish the dose response relationship on glycaemic control of five dose levels of NNC90-1170.

This is a double blind, randomised, placebo controlled, single dose escalation, first-time-in-human, 5-way crossover study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of ascending doses of GSK189075A in healthy subjects (Part A). Single doses will be given to 10 healthy subjects. The planned doses are 20mg, 50mg, 150mg, 500mg, and 1000mg. Each subject will receive 4 of the 5 active doses and a placebo separated by a washout of 5-10 days. A second cohort of 6 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus will receive 2 active doses and a placebo along with oral glucose in a three-way, randomised, placebo controlled, crossover design to assess glucose lowering following GSK189075A administration (Part B). Blood samples will be taken throughout the study day for pharmacokinetic analysis of prodrug and metabolites. Safety will be assessed by measurement of blood glucose, blood pressure, heart rate, ECGs, laboratory safety screens, and collection of adverse events.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the efficacy of intake of whey or soy protein isolates, respectively, with or without supplementation of amino acids, on post-meal insulin secretion and glycaemic regulation. Additionally, the effect on plasma amino acids, gut hormones and ghrelin in plasma, as well as subjective satiety was investigated.

The purpose of this study is to determine if consumption of bagels made with resistant starch for 8 weeks can improve markers of type 2 diabetes, colon cancer and satiety in adults.

Given the protective effect of nitric oxide (NO) on the endothelium and the results obtained so far in short-term, continuous treatment with phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors on parameters of endothelial function, we hypothesise that chronic treatment with vardenafil can prevent or delay the deterioration of systemic endothelial function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The favourable effect of PDE5 inhibitors on sexual function in these patients has been convincingly demonstrated in the past. Here we hypothesise that vardenafil treatment can have beneficial effects on the vascular physiology in other body districts, possibly preventing the development of microangiopathy and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in these patients. The main goal of this study is therefore to monitor the endothelial dysfunction during continuous treatment with vardenafil for 6 months; object of the study will be endothelin 1 and other known parameters of endothelial damage in newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background: Health coaching is defined as health education, promotion and support by a professional to enhance the well-being of individuals and facilitate the achievement of their health-related goals. However, health coaching has not been adequately assessed in the community health care setting in individuals with T2DM. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of diabetes health coaching in adults with T2DM in the community health care setting on clinical outcomes, self-care behaviours and health care utilization.
