Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of LY2189102 in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and risks of lixisenatide (AVE0010), in comparison to placebo, as an add-on treatment to basal insulin with or without sulfonylurea, over a period of 24 weeks of treatment. The primary objective is to assess the effects of lixisenatide, when added to basal insulin, on glycemic control in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction at Week 24. The secondary objectives are to assess the effects of lixisenatide on body weight, 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) after standardized meal challenge test, percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than 7 percent (%), percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than or equal to 6.5%, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), change in 7-point self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) profiles, change in daily basal insulin and total insulin doses; to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and anti-lixisenatide antibody development.

This 2 arm study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of taspoglutide compared to placebo in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with metformin monotherapy. Patients will be randomized to receive taspoglutide (10mg sc once weekly for 4 weeks followed by 20mg once weekly) or placebo sc, in addition to their prescribed, pre-existing metformin therapy.After the first 24 weeks, patients on placebo will be switched to taspoglutide 20mg once weekly (after 4 weeks on taspoglutide 10mg once weekly) The anticipated time on study treatment is 12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

This study will assess the effects of sitagliptin and metformin alone and after co-administration on incretin hormone concentrations in patients with Type 2 diabetes.

This is a 2-3 period parallel group study with an adaptive element in Type 2 diabetes patients receiving vildagliptin as monotherapy.

This proposal is to fund a pilot study to assess feasibility and refine methodology for an intended large Scotland wide study on Response to Oral Agents in Diabetes (ROAD). The study will collect cohorts of patients who have carefully controlled standardised dose titration and monitoring with an assessment of drug response and side effects over a 6 month period. The primary aim will be to use these cohorts to investigate phenotypic and genotypic (pharmacogenetic) determinants of response. Drug naïve patients will be treated with Metformin. Patients who have failed on Metformin or are intolerant of Metformin will be randomised to gliclazide, pioglitazone or sitagliptin. With the ability to capture patient data beyond 6 months via data linkage we will monitor time to treatment failure and therefore compare which of the 3 oral agents is the best therapy to use after Metformin in a cost efficient and "real world" RCT.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the baseline body mass index (BMI) on the response to Glucophage XR monotherapy in glycemic control in Chinese patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes

This study will assess the effect of combined treatment with MK0893 plus propranolol versus placebo plus propranolol on hypoglycemia.

Patients with diabetes have dysfunction of the lining of the arteries which lead to impaired circulation in the small blood vessels. This is thought to be secondary to reduced chemicals in the blood viz: nitric oxide. This chemical is derived from an amino acid (protein) L-arginine. Therefore, the researchers investigated whether giving patients L-arginine (versus dummy powder) would improve the blood flow in the small blood vessels in the lower limbs of patients with damage to their nerves (neuropathy).

The objective of this trial is to evaluate the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of once daily oral administration of BI 10773 administered for 28 days in Japanese patients with T2DM.
