Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

The purpose of the study is to determine if by performing surgery we can cure Type II Diabetes. The surgical procedures: a sleeve gastrectomy, cutting out a portion of the stomach, which provides restriction of caloric intake and rapid gastric emptying. ileal transposition which involves repositioning a 150cm segment of the ileum into the jejunum causing improved glucose homeostasis.

This study will add leptin therapy to the current insulin therapy of Type 1 Diabetics with the aim of lowering the total insulin requirements and suppressing the steep fluctuations typically associated with Type 1 Diabetes.

An increase of blood flow and capillary permeability decrease the impact of an endothelial barrier for glucose and insulin allowing them to reach their target cells in peripheral insulin sensitive organ in the human body. It is well known that insulin-resistant type 2 diabetes patients have an impaired blood flow in skeletal muscle and it is therefore important to elucidate means to reverse this metabolic defect. The investigators have in a recently published study in type 2 diabetes patients used a drug against erectile dysfunction, the PDE-5 inhibitor tadalafil, with known effects on several vascular territories, to increase muscle blood flow in type 2 diabetes patients who were studied after fasting overnight. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that tadalafil, compared to placebo, increases muscle glucose uptake and lowers blood glucose following a mixed meal served to type 2 diabetes patients.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the rosiglitazone/glimepiride fixed-dose combination tablet will safely and effectively control glycemia as first-line oral therapy in drug naïve subjects with type 2 diabetes. This 24-week study will compare the effects of treatment with rosiglitazone/glimepiride to treatment with glimepiride alone. The primary objective is to demonstrate superiority of rosiglitazone/glimepiride to glimepiride in lowering Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c).

This was a study to assess the safety and efficacy of Valturna and amlodipine or Valturna and chlorthalidone when compared to Valturna alone in patients with stage 2 hypertension and diabetes mellitus 2.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of a blood pressure medication, Lisinopril, or similar drugs in that class, on the flow of blood to the kidneys. In this study, we will compare blood flow to the kidneys in healthy people that do not have diabetes or kidney disease with people that have diabetes and evidence of kidney disease.

to assess the effect of treatment with Sitagliptin (MK0431) on HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c) and the safety and tolerability of Sitagliptin.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of dutogliptin over 26 weeks (as evidenced by placebo-corrected changes in HbA1c relative to baseline), to demonstrate safety and tolerability of dutogliptin, and to demonstrate changes in fasting plasma glucose over 26 weeks.

The study will assess the efficacy and tolerability of MK0736 in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension who are on ongoing therapy with Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme or Angiotensin Receptor Blocker. After a 3 to 5 week pre-randomization phase, patients will be randomized to either MK0736 (3 doses), placebo, or hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ). The study will also include a 3 week, posttreatment follow-up period.

The purpose of this study is to help answer the following questions: To test if taking LY2599506 for 12 weeks controls blood sugar better than taking placebo for 12 weeks. To evaluate the safety of LY2599506 in participants with diabetes. To determine if LY2599506 has the ability to control blood sugar in participants with diabetes. To determine how much LY2599506 should be given to participants. To determine if LY2599506 has an effect on a participant's weight. The study design consists of 4 study periods: a screening period, a 4-week dose adjustment period, an 8-week treatment period, and a 4-week follow-up period.
