Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Type 2 diabetes is spreading worldwide as well as obesity. Metformin is the most prescribed antidiabetic medication. One suggested mechanism of action is by decreasing carbohydrate absorption. It is usually recommended to take metformin during the meal to decrease gastrointestinal side effects. However, if metformin decreases carbohydrate absorption, this might not be the most efficient intake. To study the influence of preprandial metformin administration on carbohydrate absorption, it will repeat 3 oral glucose tolerance test on obese dysglycemic patients, without metformin or with metformin administer 30 or 60 minutes before. We will also evaluate how it impacts gastrointestinal tolerance.

This study tests the hypothesis that non-diabetic individuals with a high genetic risk score for type 2 diabetes have impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance compared to those with a low genetic risk score for type 2 diabetes.

This trial is conducted in China. The aim of the trial is to evaluate efficacy and Safety of IBI362 Versus dulaglutide as add-on to Metformin and/or SGLT2 inhibitor or TZD in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the effects of a remote and intensive physical activity promotion program for people with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), in comparison to a usual model of PA counseling, in glycemic levels, level of physical activity and quality of life in adults in elderly with T2D.

The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of different doses and frequencies of administration of TG103 injection in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

In this project the investigators intend to study the therapeutic potential of a personalized fibre mixture in individuals at high risk of developing T2DM, and aim to address the following key objectives: To investigate whether a mixture of fermentable fibres, which differ in DP and side chains, will stimulate a broad range of SCFA-producing bacterial genera, resulting in enhanced chronic SCFA production throughout the whole colon with a large variation between individuals; To unravel whether providing personalized fibre mixtures, selected based on the individuals' initial microbiota and capacity for SCFA production is crucial to successfully improve host insulin sensitivity and metabolic health

The role of intestinal microbiota is becoming ever more important in the context of obesity, type II diabetes (T2D), and infectious disorders as represented by the emerging discipline "therapeutic microbiology". The gut microbiota is strictly interconnected with obesity and T2D playing also an important role in immune system regulation. Obesity and diabetes can lead to chronic inflammation, which results in the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-6, IL-1, and TNF-alpha, causing immune system alteration which predisposes patients with obesity and T2D to chronic infections. Therefore, the principal aim of the study is to investigate changes in gut microbiota composition between patients with chronic infections or not, so as to attribute to specific phyla the formation of the infections in these patients.

Sarcopenia is characterized by progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass which may affect performance. Diabetes can affect muscle cell function, making sarcopenia worse. This is a prospective and interventional study on a elderly population affected by type 2 diabetes mellitus. All subjects, recruited will undergo tests for the diagnosis of sarcopenia according to the EWGSOP2 criteria. All subjects, both sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic, will be introduced to a targeted nutritional program aimed at improving the composition of the diet, in terms of both micro- and macro-nutrients.

a prospective open-label, randomized controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of the addition of metformin to SGLT2 in diabetic patient with preserved ejection fraction

This study compares the medicines semaglutide with empagliflozin or metformin in people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. This study will look mainly at how well participant's blood sugar and body weight are controlled when they are taking the study medicines. Participants will either get semaglutide tablets, empagliflozin tablets or metformin tablets. Which treatment participants will get is decided by chance. Currently, doses of 3 milligram (mg), 7 mg and 14 mg semaglutide tablets (Rybelsus) can be prescribed in some countries. 25 mg and 50 mg semaglutide tablets are new doses. 10 mg and 25 mg empagliflozin tablets (Jardiance) can be prescribed in some countries. 500 mg metformin tablets (STADA) can be prescribed in some countries. Participants will get 1 to 4 tablets per day for 104 weeks. The study will last for about 2 years and 7 weeks (111 weeks). Participants should not have been treated for weight management 90 days before screening or never been treated with any medicine for type 2 diabetes (except diabetes during pregnancy) before screening. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to get pregnant during the study period.
