Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

One out of two adults in Canada is currently overweight and therefore at increased risk for a number of medical conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attacks and stroke. Obesity is less prevalent in populations consuming large amounts of dietary fibre, suggesting that fibre intake could play an important role in prevention and progression of obesity and diabetes and other conditions. Several studies have suggested that fibre has a positive effect on blood sugar and may help lower body weight. The purpose of this study is to help better understand the effect of adding fibre supplementation to a low calorie diet on blood sugar control and weight loss. The investigators hypothesize that blood sugar control will improve in participants in the fibre supplementation group. Men and women, with stable Type 2 Diabetes (e.g. no medication change in the last 3 months), between 18 - 75 years of age, and with a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 27 - 60 kg/m2 can participate in this study.

It is a phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of P2202 in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus, inadequately controlled with a stable dose of metformin or sulfonylurea or both.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of ISIS ISIS-APOCIIIRX on Triglyceride Levels and Insulin Sensitivity in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes on stable treatment with metformin.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAK-875 in Asia Pacific adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate no excess risk of cardiovascular (CV) composite events exists following long term treatment with TAK-875 compared with placebo.

A Phase 2 glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measuring study of RTA 402 in Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Liraglutide is a glucagon like peptide -1 (GLP-1) agonist, which is approved for use in patients with type 2 diabetes. Studies of liraglutide have shown an appetite suppressive effect and has been associated with weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes. Liraglutide use in the treatment of PWS is limited to one case report by Cyganek et el (See attached Citation). In this case report, the subject showed improvements in hemoglobin A1c and body weight over 14 weeks. The investigators plan to examine the use of liraglutide in a single subject with Prader Willi Syndrome and type 2 diabetes for one year. The investigators will examine clinical parameters, clinical assessment of hunger, and biochemical markers of diabetes and lipid control.

To perform a study that investigates the effectiveness of adding the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin + the dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor saxagliptin vs placebo to revert from a BBIT regimen to a BOT regimen in patients with type 2 diabetes.

This is a prospective, randomized clinical trial for patients with recurrent type 2 diabetes post-gastric bypass surgery that will compare a 6 month course of canagliflozin monotherapy vs. placebo on clinical outcomes of type 2 diabetes.

This was a dose-finding study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of 3 different doses of LIK066 compared to placebo or empagliflozin in T2DM patients with heart failure
