Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cardiovascular (CV) safety profile of omarigliptin in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The primary hypothesis is that treatment with omarigliptin 25 mg once weekly is non-inferior to treatment with placebo and active comparators across the omarigliptin program with regard to the risk of developing a confirmed event in the primary CV composite endpoint.

The purpose of this study is to assess the multiple rising dose safety/tolerability and pharmacokinetics of MK-5823 in overweight/obese participants who are healthy and overweight/obese participants with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Liraglutide is a GLP1 agonist used in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes and is is asociated with improved blood glucose control, weight loss and low rates of hypoglycemia when used alone or in combination with metformin. Liraglutide has not been extensively tested in people with type 2 diabetes who are taking relatively large doses of insulin (>50 U/day). Often these patients are insulin resistant and despite using large doses of insulin are not able to achieve glucose targets. The rationale for this study is to assess if the addition of liraglutide in addition to usual care versus placebo can improve blood glucose levels in people not achieving a target HbA1C of less than 7.0%.

To demonstrate the efficacy of renal denervation therapy in treating resistant hypertension and its effect on glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Compare the effect of Vildagliptin plus Metformin versus Glimepiride plus Metformin on glucose variability in T2DM patients.

The purpose of this study is examine the effect of fat tissue-released miRNA on skeletal muscle and if abnormal fat tissue-released miRNA contributes to insulin resistance in obese individuals. This information will be important for our understanding of how the body's sugar metabolism is regulated and why people who are obese become insulin resistant and are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes.

The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of albiglutide and exenatide on gastric myoelectrical activity (GMA), gastric emptying (GE) and nausea (as measured by visual analogue scale [VAS]) in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The study is divided in two parts. Part A will characterize the GMA, GE and nausea response to exenatide and confirm exenatide as a positive control for Part B. Part B will compare the effects of albiglutide and exenatide on GMA, GE and nausea. Part A is a single arm, open-label design and all subjects will receive 10 microgram (mcg) subcutaneous exenatide twice daily for 5 days. This part will comprise 3 study periods: a 3-week screening/wash-out, 5-day treatment, and follow-up (within 7 days after the last dose of exenatide). The total duration of a subject's participation in Part A will be approximately 5 weeks. Once Part A is complete, data will be reviewed and a decision to progress to Part B will be made. In Part B, subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive either albiglutide (starting dose of 30 milligrams [mg] once weekly for 4 weeks, followed by 50 mg once weekly for 4 weeks) or exenatide (starting dose of 5 mcg twice daily for 4 weeks, followed by 10 mcg twice daily for 4 weeks). The total duration of a subject's participation in the study will be approximately 15 weeks.

A Phase II, Open-Label Safety and Efficacy Study of an Autologous Neo-Kidney Augment (NKA) in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease (RMTX-CL001). NKA is made from expanded autologous selected renal cells (SRC) obtained from the patient's kidney biopsy. All enrolled subjects will be treated with up to two injections of NKA at least 6 months apart.

The goal of the current study is to determine difference in glycemic control between traditional split mix regimen with Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH) and regular insulin vs basal bolus regimen with glargine and humalog in a population of type 2 diabetes commonly encountered in the investigators county hospital setting which include newly diagnosed type 2 patients and patients on relatively high dose of insulin (dose >0.4 units/kg body weight. Primary outcome of the study is to determine differences in glycemic control between treatment group as measured by the mean daily blood glucose. Secondary outcome is to measure number of hypoglycemic events, number of severe hypoglycemia and length of hospital stay.

Primary Objective: To evaluate the ability of lixisenatide to modulate postprandial hyperlipidemia in particular, the effects on plasma changes in triglycerides. Secondary Objectives: The effect of lixisenatide on the following postprandial lipids: apolipoprotein (APO) B48; free fatty acid, lipoprotein distribution, cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation. The effect of lixisenatide on chronic low-grade inflammation present in non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and obesity. The effect of lixisenatide on microvascular dysfunction. To evaluate the effect of lixisenatide on postprandial plasma glucose, insulin and C-peptide and glucagon.
