Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The investigators propose to use a weight-based regimen consisting of basal-bolus insulin and preprandial rapid-acting insulin and to test its efficacy and safety in controlling blood glucose in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes.

In china, there are the most population of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) among the world and DM becomes currently the second cause for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Nearly 50% of insulin-treated PD patients in clinical practice are treated with premixed insulin. Glycemic control in them is very difficult to be achieved mainly due to the uremic status of these patients and glucose exposure from peritoneal dialysate, a higher glycemic variability and higher risk of hypoglycemia. Linagliptin, unlike other DPP-4 inhibitors, has a primarily non-renal elimination route, and does not require dose adjustment for any level of impaired renal function. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of linagliptin on glucose variability and glycemic control in peritoneal dialysis patients with type 2 diabetes who are inadequately controlled with premixed insulin therapy. This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the effect of linagliptin on glucose variability and glycemic control in peritoneal dialysis patients with type 2 diabetes who are inadequately controlled with premixed insulin therapy.which will be conducted in 8 diabetes centres and/or nephropathy departments in China. After a 4-week run- in period, 232 participants are randomized (1:1) to either premixed insulin combined with linagliptin (5mg/d) group (also named combined group) or premixed insulin alone group (also named insulin group) for 12 weeks. Finally, the primary endpoint is glucose variability indicated by MAGE, secondary endpoints include HbA1c, FPG, PPG, LAGE, SDBG, PT10.0, PT3.9, 1h fasting MBG, 3h postprandial MBG, insulin dosage, hypoglycemia and body weight.

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease( NAFLD) is common in patients with type 2 diabetes. Empagliflozin, an FDA-approved oral medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, has been shown to reduce production and deposition of fat in the liver in animal experiments. There is little published evidence that this is so in Asian patients with type 2 diabetes. The investigators designed this pilot study to determine if use of empagliflozin for 6 months in patients with type 2 diabetes can improve scan, blood marker and biopsy features of NAFLD.

It has been shown that in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) at high risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) who received Empagliflozine as compared with placebo had a lower rate of death from cardiovascular causes, non-fatal MI, or non-fatal strokes as well as death from any cause and hospitalization for heart failure. This lower incidence of cardiovascular disease in individuals treated with selective inhibitor of renal sodium-glucose co-transporters (SGLTs) has been associated with reduction of blood levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and with increase of blood levels of Klotho. Therefore we will investigate the blood levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and of Klotho in type 2 diabetic patients treated with Empagliflozine The investigators anticipate that patients treated with Empagliflozine will have decreased levels of FGF23 and increased levels of Klotho which would provide a good explanation for the beneficial cardiovascular effects of selective inhibitors of renal sodium-glucose co-transporters (SGLTs)

In this study, the investigators will assess the efficacy and tolerability of a novel, initial triple combination therapy with metformin, saxaglipitin, and dapagliflozin, compared to conventional stepwise add-on therapy in drug-naïve patients with recently onset type 2 diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of DWP16001 compared to placebo in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The main pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus is insulin resistance and insufficient secretion of insulin by pancreatic beta cells. SGLT2 (sodium-glucose synergistic transporter 2) inhibitor is a kind of newly developed hypoglycemic medicine, which increases urinary glucose excretion and lowers blood glucose in an insulin-independent manner. The mechanisms of its effects on insulin resistance, insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells and glucagon secretion by pancreatic alpha cells, are not well studied in domestic and foreign, and there is no unified conclusion. A few studies concerning SGLT2 inhibitors have observed that insulin resistance and islet beta cell secretion function can be improved by the improvement of glucotoxicity and lipotoxicity, but its effect on pancreatic alpha cell function to increase glucagon level, thereby increasing liver glucose output, may be one of the mechanisms of its side effects. In this study, patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were treated with three domestic listed SGLT2 inhibitors (dapagliflozin, empagliflozin and canagliflozin) for one week, which were expected to improve the glucotoxicity, but excluding the effects on lipotoxicity and body weight, to observe the changes of islet beta cell and alpha cell function and insulin sensitivity. Three different SGLT2 inhibitors were used in order to make clear whether this effect is the unique effect of different structure of drugs or the similar effect of this kind of drugs.

The purpose of this study is to prove that the group treated with CKD-501 in combination added that the reduction of glycated hemoglobin superior to placebo treated group added in combination.

One of the purposes of the management of the patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD)is to slow the decline of renal function. The mechanisms by which the renal function declines involve inflammatory and fibrotic responses due in part by the effects of oxidative stress. Pentoxifylline (PTX)is a drug that stimulates adenosine receptors, and produces inhibition of phosphodiesterases, as well as being a dopaminergic modulator through D1 and D2 receptors. Its main effects are inhibition of the inflammatory state by decreasing serum levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-ɒ) and monocyte chemo attractant protein 1 (MCP_1), which may slow down the decline of renal function. It also produces diminish of sympathetic activity, with the reduction of circulating levels of norepinephrine (NA), which may contribute to the reduction of glomerulosclerosis in diabetic patients. In the connective tissue increases the activity of the collagenases and decrease of collagen, fibronectin and glucosamine of the fibroblasts as well as inhibition of oxygen free radicals. Due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects, PTX can result in an excellent therapeutic option for the prevention of CKD in DM2. This work proposes the use of pentoxifylline as treatment CKD in DM2. Its application in patients with CKD will allow a therapeutic management with different targets, for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects that will be evaluated by means of fibrosis, inflammation and oxidative stress markers. The results will be of great importance in clinical practice, since they will justify the use of a new pharmacological tool, already known, with minimal adverse effects and low cost, accessible to all strata of the population since it is found as generic.

This study was to investigate the Effect of Sitagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, on progression of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes.
