Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

This trial will assess the safety and efficacy of omarigliptin (MK-3102) compared with the sulfonylurea, glimepiride, in type 2 diabetes mellitus participants who are metformin intolerant or who have a contraindication to the use of metformin. The primary hypothesis is that after 54 weeks, the mean change from baseline in hemoglobin A1c (A1C) in participants treated with omarigliptin is non-inferior compared with that in participants treated with glimepiride.

Diabetes self-management is important to help adults with type 2 diabetes achieve glucose control. Obstructive sleep apnea often co-exists with type 2 diabetes and may act as a barrier to diabetes self-management and glucose control. We will examine if treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), combined with diabetes education, results in improved diabetes self-management and glucose control.

The purpose of this study to assess the safety and tolerability of re-dosing at 6 months with otelixizumab (given as an 8-day series of intravenous infusions) in adult subjects with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus

This is a safety and dose finding efficacy study to evaluate the effects of BGP-15 over the dose range of 100 mg/day to 400 mg/day. Doses are applied once or twice a day for 13 weeks as add-on therapy to the combination of metformin and sulfonylurea treatment or metformin alone in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Clinical studies have shown that immunomodulators (like Anti-CD3 antibodies) have effects on beta-cell-preservation. The lipid-lowering agent atorvastatin is also a potent immunomodulator. In this study the effects of 80 mg atorvastatin per day on preservation of beta-cell function in recent onset type 1 diabetes were studied, as determined by stimulated C-peptide levels.

To determine whether addition of Carvedilol CR to diabetic patients with hypertension who are receiving the ACEi,Lisinopril,will provide added benefits to blood vessels when compared to treatment with Lisinopril alone.It is believed that carvedilol provides added benefits by suppressing free radicals(charged substances that cause damage to the body ) and inflammation.

A large number of research studies on people who were morbidly obese (extremely overweight), and had bariatric surgery (anti-obesity surgery) have shown that patients who were diabetic before surgery often experienced significant improvement in their diabetes following the surgery. For some patients, blood glucose levels returned to the normal range, and they were able to stop taking all of their diabetes medications. For others, blood glucose levels improved, allowing them to reduce their diabetes medications. This research study is being done to determine whether bariatric surgery can safely provide better control of diabetes symptoms in obese diabetics than continuing medical management (anti-diabetic drugs in combination with diet and lifestyle changes). There are several different types of bariatric surgery currently being used to treat morbid obesity. Two of the most common techniques are gastric bypass and adjustable gastric banding. This study will be comparing these two surgical techniques to treatment with a combination of drugs, diet, and lifestyle changes for control of type 2 diabetes.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether, in patients with type 2 diabetes and pre-existing disease of the heart and the circulatory system and/or the kidney, aliskiren at a target dose of 300 mg once daily (compared to placebo), on top of conventional treatment, reduces death and disease caused by the heart, the circulatory system and the kidney. AMENDMENT 4 RATIONALE (MARCH 2012) : Protocol amendment 4 served to address the data monitoring committee recommendation dated 14 Dec 2011 to discontinue study treatment in all participating patients. It also addressed the subsequent Health Authorities request to implement a 12 month safety follow-up period (actual duration was 9 months in average) post study drug discontinuation.

This trial is conducted in Europe, Asia, North America and South America. The aim of this research trial is to compare the efficacy of inhaled insulin to glimepiride and metformin combination therapy in treatment of subjects with type 2 diabetes and to verify the safety of use (hypoglycaemia, pulmonary function, body weight, insulin antibodies and side effects).

The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of volinanserin in the population of patients complaining of sleep maintenance insomnia. The objective of the substudy is to assess glycemic control in the subgroup of patients with type II diabetes mellitus.
