Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The overall aim of the project is to elucidate the primary bio-psycho-social (BPS) risk factors for albuminuria in youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the mechanisms by which they cause renal injury. The Study Aims include: Characterize the primary BPS risk factors associated with prevalent and progressive albuminuria in youth with T2D. Determine individual, family and community level factors that influence biological and psychological risk factors and behaviors (adherence) that could be modified to protect against prevalent and progressive albuminuria. Determine if systemic and renal inflammation is the common pathway through which BPS risk factors lead to albuminuria in youth with T2D. Study Hypotheses include: Biological factors (poor glycemic control and systolic ambulatory hypertension), and psychological and social adversity (stress, mental distress and poverty) are significant predictors of prevalent and progressive albuminuria in youth with T2D. Community and family support will be negatively associated with stress, and a lower risk of both prevalent and progressive albuminuria. Systemic and renal inflammation is the common pathway through which BPS risk factors lead to albuminuria in youth with T2D.

Identifying biomarkers of early pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) could facilitate screening for individuals at higher than average risk and expedite the diagnosis in individuals with symptoms and substantially improve an individual's chance of surviving the disease. The investigators propose a longitudinal study of subjects at higher than average risk of PDAC in order to generate clinical data and bank serial blood specimens.

Diabetes nephropathy (DN) is one of the most serious microvascular complications of diabetes, and also an important cause of death and disability of diabetes patients. There is no specific clinical staging of type 2 diabetes nephropathy at home and abroad, and there is no comprehensive study to comprehensively describe the occurrence and development of type 2 diabetes nephropathy through sensitive biomarkers, microvascular disease imaging and functional detection, digital markers and other multi-dimensional diagnosis and evaluation methods. Therefore, our research aims to establish a long-term follow-up queue for the whole cycle of diabetes nephropathy, develop multi-dimensional diagnostic and progress digital markers for diabetes nephropathy, develop a multimodal non-invasive diagnostic model and a new clinical staging/typing, and create a multi-dimensional accurate diagnosis and treatment system for type 2 diabetes nephropathy combining traditional Chinese and western medicine.

a prospective, observational, multi-center study with a cohort of 300 patients with Type 2 diabetes and macroalbuminuria. Prospectively we will collect kidney biopsies and analyse the transciptome of the kidney tissue and other biomarkers from blood, faeces, urine, proteomic- and metabolomic profiles and DNA-variants. Thereby we hope to be able to discover molecular and clinical profiles, that can help us in the diagnosis of DKD, and to identify different risks of progression that can benefit from different forms of personalized treatment.

The Sunnybrook Type 2 Diabetes Study (S2DS) is a prospective observational study of people with prediabetes or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), that aims to understand the aetiologies, manifestations, and clinical consequences of mood and cognitive complications. The study recruits from the services at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and from the neighbouring University Health Network Toronto Rehabilitation Institute Cardiac Rehabilitation Program.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a global burden disease affecting almost 200 million people and is expected to nearly double by 2030 (1). It is imperative that this disease is kept under control, and that we begin to reverse the direction of its incidence. We propose to start by identifying the physiological and molecular aspects of the problem in all spectrums of the disease (ie from insulin sensitive athletes to sedentary lean and obese individuals and further to overt type 2 diabetics), and focus our efforts on examining the differences and identifying the stages of progression for possible targets of future intervention. The proposed study "Metabolic Phenotyping" is novel in its target populations and innovative in its use of state-of-the-art techniques. We hypothesize that the in vivo differences in metabolic flexibility and mitochondrial function between endurance athletes and type 2 diabetics and their lean and obese controls are retained in vitro and will offer a new model in which to study the underlying mechanisms of the progression of T2D.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether intensive blood pressure and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol lowering could improve survival and cardiovascular outcome in Japanese diabetic patients with coronary artery disease and history of acute coronary syndrome.

The primary aim of the current study is a better understanding of the role of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in heart failure and, in particular, changes in cardiac metabolism, which may contribute to heart failure. Various biomarkers in the coronary artery blood, as well as in the arterial and peripheral venous blood, are to be identified for this purpose. Included are patients with and without T2DM, who have a clinically indicated and guidance-appropriate Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT) implantation due to their cardiac insufficiency. Not all patients currently benefit from the implantation of a CRT system (so-called non-responder). Despite narrow inclusion criteria, these "non-responders" cannot be unmasked in advance of the implantation. A further aim of this study is to identify biomarkers, which can be determined in advance of implantation to differentiate between responders and non-responders.

The goal of this project is to use a two-stepped study to examine both the adoption of the three dietary patterns as presented by the United States Dietary Guidelines (USDG) and testing of a refined, culturally tailored one-year intervention examining the three diet patterns. For this study, African American adult participants with overweight/obesity and ≥three type 2 diabetes (T2DM) risk factors will be recruited to participate in this two-step study. This present study is for our Step 1: formative pilot work to culturally-tailor a dietary intervention of the three healthy eating patterns presented by the USDG for 12 weeks: 1) U.S.-Style, 2) Mediterranean, or 3) Vegetarian.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the role of Time-in-Range to stratify the risk of micro vascular complications in adults with type 2 diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is a lower Time-in-Range associated with a higher risk of diabetes microvascular complications, independent of HbA1c? Is Time-in-Range lower among sulfonylurea and premixed insulin therapy users compared to non-sulfonylurea and non-premixed insulin therapy users, respectively.
