Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The DECIDE program is a problem-solving curriculum used to help manage everyday problems when living with diabetes. The purpose of this project is to complete an in-depth review of the Decision-Making Education for Choices in Diabetes Every Day (DECIDE) curriculum, which is delivered in a group face-to-face setting. Using a task analysis process, the investigators will use the findings from the review to develop a web-site version.

This is a 24-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, parallel group, phase 3 study designed to evaluate if the safety and efficacy of dapagliflozin 5 mg or 10 mg added to saxagliptin 5 mg plus metformin is superior to placebo added to saxagliptin 5 mg plus metformin in reducing hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c).

This is a two-armed randomized controlled trial (RCT) primarily aimed at determining if application of Cytal Wound Matrix 1-Layer intervention to diabetic foot ulcers shows improved wound closure rates when compared to standard care intervention.

The purpose of this study is to establish safety of biweekly intermittent fasting in the setting of type 2 diabetes mellitus or prediabetes under treatment with non-hypoglycemic agents (e.g. metformin).

KeyBioscience is developing KBP-089, a dual activator of both the amylin and calcitonin receptors, for the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus, using a subcutaneous injectable mode of administration. This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised, multiple-ascending dose phase I trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of KBP-089 in patients with type 2 diabetes, who are on stable therapy with metformin. Subjects will receive daily subcutaneous injections in the abdomen over a period of 28 days. The planned maximum doses of KBP-089 to be investigated in the trial are 20 µg in cohort 1, 60 µg in cohort 2, and 150 µg in cohort 3. For cohort 1, the dose is planned to be escalated every 7 ±1 days, and for cohort 2 and cohort 3, every 3 days. Doses may be modified according to individual tolerability, but the dose regimen will not exceed 28 days. The IMP is administered by daily subcutaneous injections taken in the morning before breakfast. The trial is performed in Germany and at least 36 patients will be enrolled in the trial. The trial will be randomised 1:1:1 between maximum doses of KBP-089 of 20 µg, 60 µg, 150 µg and placebo. Within each of the three cohorts, 12 patients will be randomised 3:1 to KBP-089 and placebo.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics following ascending multiple doses of AMG 876 in subjects with type 2 diabetes.

The purpose of the study is to assess if the addition of vildagliptin as add-on therapy improves glucose variability in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients inadequately controlled with insulin, with special emphasis in hypoglycemic episodes measured by continuous glucose monitoring.

The purpose of this study is to determine changes in bone turnover markers and calcitonin following the initiation of exenatide compared to placebo in postmenopausal women wtih type 2 diabetes. Hypothesis 1a: Bone resorption (measured by osteocalcin and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase) will be lower and bone formation (measured by type I collagen crosslinked aminoterminal peptide in urine (Urine NTX)) will be higher when subjects are treated with exenatide compared to when subjects are treated with placebo. Hypothesis 1b: Calcitonin levels will not vary significantly between periods of treatment with exenatide vs. placebo.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of fasiglifam (TAK-875) plus metformin compared with sitagliptin plus metformin on glycemic control over a 24-week Treatment Period.

- Rationale: Treatment with glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) has been shown to reduce plasma glucose levels to a further extent when added to standard therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Given the well-known beneficial effects of GLP-1 analogues on glucose metabolism by stimulating insulin release, suppressing elevated glucagon levels, delaying gastric emptying and reducing food intake, it is anticipated that liraglutide developed by Novo Nordisk (Victoza®) also has beneficial effects in type 2 diabetes mellitus as has been proven by several trials. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with obesity and sedentary lifestyle. Obesity occurs when energy intake exceeds energy expenditure (EE) over a period of time. It has been presumed that activity energy expenditure and daily energy expenditure are lower in most people in Western societies. Increasing non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), defined as all energy expended due to everyday activity, exclusive of volitional exercise, may be an effective way to maintain daily EE and combat overweight and obesity. One way to promote NEAT is to decrease the amount of time spent on sedentary behaviors (e.g. watching television). This leads us to hypothesize that adding NEAT to GLP-1 analogues in type 2 diabetes has an additive effect on glucose regulation, weight control and blood pressure. On the other hand, we hypothesize that a decrease in HbA1c, weight and blood pressure could add to an improved quality of life and less health care costs. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study is to determine the synergistic effect of liraglutide and activating lifestyle by increasing NEAT on glucose metabolism and weight. First line therapy of type 2 diabetes mellitus currently consists of lifestyle changes with metformin. When failure of this regime occurs, sulfonylurea derivates and/or thiazolidinediones can be added. One third of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus fail with this regimen after 5 years of monotherapy, and nowadays GLP-1 analogues can be added to prevent deterioration of glycaemic control. However, comparison of this strategy with NEAT has not been performed and the synergistic effect of combination of GLP-1 with increasing NEAT has not been investigated. Treatment with GLP-1 analogues in combination with NEAT could theoretically overcome all shortcomings of current treatment strategies of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Objective: Primary objectives To determine the change in HbA1c from baseline and end of treatment (26 weeks) and end of follow-up (52 weeks) after 26 weeks of treatment with liraglutide versus liraglutide with NEAT To determine the change in weight from baseline and end of treatment (26 weeks) and end of follow-up (52 weeks) after 26 weeks of treatment with liraglutide versus liraglutide with NEAT Secondary objectives To assess the change in blood pressure from baseline and end of treatment (26 weeks) and end of follow-up (52 weeks) after 26 weeks of treatment with liraglutide versus liraglutide with NEAT To assess the change in quality of life from baseline and end of treatment (26 weeks) and end of follow-up (52 weeks) after 26 weeks of treatment with liraglutide versus liraglutide with NEAT To assess the change in NEAT from baseline and end of treatment (26 weeks) and end of follow-up (52 weeks) after 26 weeks of treatment with liraglutide versus liraglutide with NEAT To asses the health-care related costs at baseline, after 26 weeks of treatment with liraglutide versus liraglutide with NEAT, and after 52 weeks (end of follow-up) Study design: Randomized controlled intervention study - Study population: Men and women with type 2 diabetes mellitus, insufficiënt glycaemic control during maximum (tolerable) dose monotherapy with metformin or a sulfonylurea derivate or during combination therapy with metformin and a sulfonylurea derivate or a thiazolinedione, HbA1c above 7,0%, age between 40 - 75 years old, BMI above 25 kg/m2 Intervention: One group receives once daily subcutaneously liraglutide 1.8mg added to standard anti-diabetic care and the other group receives once daily subcutaneously liraglutide 1.8mg added to standard anti-diabetic care and an activating lifestyle by increasing NEAT Main study parameters/endpoints: The main study parameter is the percent change in HbA1c and weight. Secondary study parameters are change in blood pressure, quality of life as measured using EQ-5D and SF-36 questionnaire, NEAT as measured using an activPAL™ accelerometer and cost-effectiveness analysis.
