Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

The purpose of this study is to determine the most effective treatment option for managing naturally occurring hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes. Hypotheses: Sucrose and Fructose are equally effective as glucose in the treatment of spontaneous hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes. Children and teens will use a variety of treatment practices for the management of hypoglycemia. Children and teens will prefer the mode of treatment that was most effective in treating hypoglycemia.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the early treatment with a blood pressure medication (an ACE Inhibitor) can prevent or delay the development of kidney disease (microalbuminuria) in patients with Type 1 diabetes who have normal blood pressure and urine albumin levels.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether control of inflammatory pathways mediated by IL-1 beta using the IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra will yield measurable decreases in expression of genes that are otherwise overexpressed as a consequence of IL-1 beta effects in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes. Ultimately, we believe that control of IL-1 beta pathways will be associated with preserved insulin secretory capacity.

This clinical trial is designed to extend the observations made in our pilot clinical trial (IND 8971, Study #1) on the safety and efficacy of immunotherapy with the anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody hOKT3γ1 (Ala-Ala), (currently called MGA031) combined with sirolimus and tacrolimus in preventing rejection and autoimmune destruction of deceased donor pancreatic islet transplants in type 1 diabetic recipients.

This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and South America. The aim of this research study is to compare the efficacy (reduction in HbA1c and in blood glucose levels) of insulin detemir compared to NPH insulin administered as basal insulin for the treatment of type 1 diabetes and to verify the safety of use (number and severity of episodes of hypoglycemia, body weight, and insulin antibodies and side effects).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Type 1 Diabetic subjects using the Paradigm 722 System, which is a glucose sensor-augmented insulin pump, can improve glycemic control when compared to subjects using the Paradigm 715 insulin pump only.

The purpose of this study is to see if reducing the dose of insulin before a meal and giving both pramlintide and insulin as dual wave infusions will lower the chance of low blood sugars after a meal. In addition, the study will look at giving pramlintide as a basal infusion (a very low steady dose) for several hours

This trial is conducted in Europe, Oceania, and the United States of America (USA). The aim of this clinical trial is to compare NN5401 (insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp)) with insulin detemir (IDet) plus insulin aspart in patients with type 1 diabetes (main period) followed by the extension period comparing the long-term safety of NN5401 plus insulin aspart with insulin detemir plus insulin aspart. The main period is registered internally at Novo Nordisk as NN5401-3594 while the extension period is registered as NN5401-3645.

The investigators hypothesize that the use of an oral dose of Terbutaline or a 20% basal reduction will be able to prevent nocturnal hypoglycemia after an afternoon exercise session. This is a randomized three period cross-over study including treatment with Terbutaline, a 20% basal reduction for six hours, or no treatment (control).

The purpose is to investigate possible mechanisms of increased blood lipid levels following transplantation, and also to see if a comprehensive dietary intervention is effective in reducing blood lipid levels in post-transplant patients.
