Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

Adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at increased risk for problems with adherence and suboptimal glycemic control, and novel approaches are needed to improve outcomes in this high-risk population. The majority of adolescents obtain insufficient sleep (defined as <8 hours/night), and sleep disturbance has been significantly associated with poorer adherence and predicted greater problems with quality of life and worse glycemic control. Yet, no interventions have addressed sleep in youth with T1D. Working from a biopsychosocial and contextual model of sleep, the investigators propose to tailor a sleep-promoting intervention to meet the needs of adolescents with T1D by conducting interviews with to identify the barriers and facilitators to adequate sleep specific to this population. The sleep-promoting intervention will be developed and tested, building on successful sleep interventions in other populations, including components such as limiting caffeine, establishing a media curfew, and positive bedtime routines, while addressing the needs unique to adolescents with T1D, such as fear of hypoglycemia. The study will be conducted by a multidisciplinary team, consisting of Sarah Jaser, PhD, a pediatric psychologist, and two co-investigators, Beth Malow, MD, MS, a neurologist with specialty in sleep medicine, and Jill Simmons, MD, a pediatric endocrinologist. Sleep is a potentially modifiable risk factor that may have both a physiological and behavioral impact on diabetes outcomes. Given the strong associations between sleep and diabetes outcomes in the preliminary data, and recent evidence from sleep restriction studies indicating the impact of insufficient sleep on insulin sensitivity, behavior, and mood, there is reason to believe that a sleep-promoting intervention has the potential to improve outcomes in adolescents with T1D indirectly by improving adherence and directly through its effect on metabolic function. Therefore, the proposed study offers a novel approach to improve adherence, quality of life, and glycemic control in adolescents with T1D.

The Study will compare treatment with Closed Loop (CL) system - DreaMed MD-AID to the standard treatment without computer algorithm decisions - SAP therapy in 20 children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) during and after afternoon physical activity. The aims of the study are: to demonstrate that the use of DreaMed MD-AID is safe during physical activity to investigate the risk of hypoglycemia among children and adolescents with T1D after afternoon exercise during closed-loop control.

This research study designed to look at how well adolescents' and young adults' blood sugars can be controlled with a "closed loop artificial pancreas" using a continuous glucose sensor, an insulin pump, and a computer program that automatically determines how much insulin to give based on the glucose level. The investigators will also study the effect of wearing a small heating patch, the InsuPatch, at the site of insulin infusion, on the ability of the closed loop system to control the blood sugar levels and to reduce the rise in glucose levels after meals.

The purpose of this study is to determine what the effects are of real-time continuous glucose monitoring on glycemia and quality of life in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and impaired hypoglycemia awareness.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of liraglutide (a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes) on glucose (sugar) control over the 26 week study period when used in addition to insulin.

In this study, a closed-loop Adaptive Insulin Meal Supervisor system (AIMS) utilizing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), a subcutaneous insulin pump and standard pramlintide therapy will be applied in individuals with type 1 diabetes. Pramlintide, a drug well recognized to help control hyperglycemia with meals, will be evaluated in both closed loop and open loop control. It is expected that the closed loop control condition with pramlintide will improve glycemia, thus combining better control with enhanced safety. In a recent pilot study, the investigators started testing this concept and collected data showing that in order to be successful such strategy must have a controller equipped with the ability to optimize the configuration and timing of meal boluses with concomitant administration of pramlintide. Our preliminary data and review of previously unavailable individual data from a German study indicate a large individual variability in the timing of the appearance of meal insulin needs. Thus, for both adequate safety and efficacy of meal insulin on pramlintide, the investigators have developed a new closed-loop controller that accounts for the variability in the individual responses to a meal and meal delays, the Adaptive Insulin Meal Supervisor system (AIMS). In this study, the performance of a combination between the AIMS system and a standard pramlintide treatment will be tested versus the standard pramlintide treatment alone.

An unblinded, randomized, cross-over design with each patient participating in two 40-hour outpatient admissions: (a) Experimental involving automated Control-to-Range (CTR) and (b) Control using Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)-augmented insulin pump treatment outside of a hospital based clinical research center.

The overall aim of this proposed research is to determine the safety, feasibility and efficacy of the Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) controller in day and night closed-loop control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes over multiple days in a diabetes camp setting. This will be addressed in two parts: 1) An in residence, outpatient study to determine safety and feasibility of the DiAs during 72 continuous hours of day and night glucose control; and 2) Camp studies planned for the summer of 2014 with randomization to either full closed-loop or sensor-augmented pump therapy over the duration of 6-7 day diabetes camps.

BioChaperone Combo is a liquid formulation containing both Insulin Glargine and Insulin Lispro. The aim of this trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of BioChaperone® Combo in subjects with type 1 diabetes under a dose of 0.8 U/kg. This trial is a phase 1 single-center, randomized, double-blinded, two-treatment, two-period cross-over, 30-hour euglycaemic glucose clamp trial in subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Each subject will be randomly allocated to one single dose of 0.8 U/kg of BioChaperone® Combo and to one single dose of 0.8 U/kg of Humalog® Mix 25 on two separate dosing visits.

The aim of this Phase I/IIa study is to identify a safe and tolerable dosage regimen of intravenously administered otelixizumab. In addition, the C-peptide decline in new onset type 1 diabetes mellitus (NOT1DM) patients and possible immunological mechanisms will be investigated with a view to identifying trends and early immunological biomarkers which could predict response in halting/slowing Beta-cell destruction in this patient population. This exploratory study will explore the safety and tolerability between the well tolerated but non-efficacious cumulative dose of 3.1 mg and a cumulative dose of 48 mg at which efficacy based on C-peptide analysis was demonstrated, albeit with evidence of Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) reactivation and Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS). Exploration of the tolerability dose response is considered a necessary first step to determining the therapeutic index of otelixizumab.
