Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

Participants who were previously Viome costumers who signed informed consent to participate and self reported type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes were enrolled. They provided stool samples to VIOME and were provided with precision diet and supplement recommendations. The information obtained from this study is used to train a model to predict diabetes and/or risks of developing diabetes.

We will use the target trial framework for causal inference to conduct this observational retrospective cohort study that uses claims data of adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) included in the de-identified datasets of OptumLabs Data Warehouse (OLDW) and Medicare fee-for-service. In Aim 1, we will emulate a target trial comparing the effectiveness of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i), and sulfonylureas (SU) in adults with T2D at moderate risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) with regard to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), expanded MACE, microvascular complications, severe hypoglycemia, and other adverse events. In Aim 2, we will compare these four drug classes in the same population of adults with T2D included in OLDW and Medicare fee-for-service data with respect to a set of composite outcomes identified by a group of patients with T2D as being most important to them. Specifically, in Aim 2A, we will prospectively elicit patient preferences toward various treatment outcomes (e.g., hospitalization, kidney disease) using a participatory ranking exercise, then use these rankings to generate individually weighted composite outcomes. Then, in Aim 2B, we will estimate patient-centered treatment effects of four different second-line T2D medications that reflect the patient's value for each outcome. In Aim 3, we will compare different medications within each of the four therapeutic classes with respect to MACE.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging pandemic in 2020 caused by a novel coronavirus named SARS-CoV2. Diabetes confers a significant additional risk for COVID-19 patients. Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed ubiquitously in many tissues. In addition to its effect on glucose levels, DPP-4 has various effects on the immune system and several diseases, including lung diseases. This trial aims to assess the safety and efficacy of linagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, in the treatment of COVID-19. The trial will be randomized without blinding, with one are treated by insulin only for glucose balance and the other by insulin and linagliptin. The trial will assess the effects of linagliptin on different measures of COVID-19 recovery.

The primary objectives of the proposed project are to assess the long-term effects of prenatal exposure to gestational diabetes or diabetes on the maturation and health of the offspring. In addition, the long-term changes on the health of the affected mothers will be investigated, taking into account the metabolic adjustment during index pregnancy. The expected results will help to establish possible prevention strategies to fight the epidemic of non-communicable diseases for the offspring and the mothers.

This is an observational study in which data from people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) who have already started or will start CKD or T2D treatment are collected and studied. In observational studies, only observations are made without specified advice or interventions. People receiving the following CKD or T2D treatments as recommended by their doctors will be included: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA), Steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (sMRA), Finerenone, a non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (nsMRA) Other nsMRA (only in Japan) Kidneys filter extra water and waste from the blood and make urine. CKD is a long-term, progressive decrease in the kidneys' ability to properly filter blood. In people with T2D, the body does not make enough of a hormone called insulin or does not use insulin well enough, resulting in high blood sugar levels that can cause damage to the kidneys. As a result, CKD can occur as a complication of T2D. The new drug, finerenone, works by blocking certain proteins, called mineralocorticoid receptors. An increased stimulation of these proteins is thought to damage the kidneys. By lowering their stimulation, finerenone reduces the risk of progressive worsening of the kidney disease. Finerenone is available and approved in several countries for doctors to prescribe to people with CKD and T2D. The main purpose of the study is to collect and describe characteristics of participants in each treatment group who have started or will start treatment before and after finerenone became available. To do this, the researchers will collect data on: Patient characteristics (e.g., age sex) of the participants Clinical characteristics (e.g., history of CKD and T2D, heart and liver health, other health problems) of the participants Treatments for T2D and CKD Other medications used Data will be grouped by type of treatment that is initiated (e.g., SGLT2i, a GLP-1 RA, a sMRA, finerenone, or other nsMRA). Two time periods will be compared. Study period I is the time until finerenone became available in the respective country, starting from 2012 (2014 for Japan). Study period II will begin when finerenone becomes available in the respective country and will end at the end of the study (planned in September 2024). Researchers will also collect data on treatment patterns and changes for each type of treatment in both time periods. Health care data will be collected from various sources in six countries (e.g., Denmark, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States). The patients will receive their treatment as prescribed by their doctors during routine practice according to the approved product information. Each patient will be in the study from first use (in Study period I and II) of one of the listed drug classes until: End of study The data are somehow no longer available The patient leaves or has to leave the study

This is a Phase 2, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the safety and effect of PBI-4050 at doses ranging from 400 mg to 1200 mg on relevant biomarkers in subjects with inadequately-controlled T2DMS on stable background antidiabetic therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of ZGN-440 (beloranib) in obese adult subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Dementia (Alzheimer's Disease) is sometimes called "Type 3 Diabetes" because of the strong connection between Type 2 diabetes (a function of insulin resistance) with Dementia. The investigators therefore hypothesize that Reducing Insulin Resistance using Intensive Lifestyle Intervention (Exercise and Weight loss) + Metformin Treatment in Prediabetic & diet-control-only Diabetic overweight and mildly cognitively impaired individuals 55 years or older would lead to better Cognitive Function (compared to standard care) after 2 years. Subjects will be monitored and assessed using a battery of Cognitive and psychological tests and PET scans to demonstrate glucose utilization in the relevant areas of the brain. This 3-year open-label study aims to recruit 360 subjects with 50% (180 subjects) randomized to receiving Intensive lifestyle intervention with Metformin (if diabetic) vs the other 50% who would receive only the usual standard level of care in the primary care setting.

The study hypothesis is based on osteopathic medical philosophy that: 1) the body is a unit; 2) the body has inherent self-regulatory mechanisms; 3) structure and function are interrelated; and 4) rational treatment is based on an understanding and integration of these concepts. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus often report more aches and pains than people without diabetes. Because osteopathic manual medicine addresses dysfunction in the musculoskeletal system, patients with both chronic low back pain and type 2 diabetes mellitus may benefit from this non-pharmacological treatment to reduce their pain, thereby reducing their stress and perhaps providing better clinical control for diabetes as demonstrated by key markers such as hemoglobin A1c and kidney function. This study is an extension of research completed in the OSTEOPATHIC Trial. Results of that study were published in the Annals of Family Medicine in March/April 2013.

Gestational diabetes (GD) is defined by a hyperglycemia discovered during pregnancy, leading to fetal and maternal complications which may be prevented by reaching very strict glycaemia targets. Prevalence depends on patient's ethnic group and is about 6 to 14%. This prevalence is increasing due to increased GD risk factors (obesity, pregnancy over 35) and also because criteria of screening have been strengthened after the results of last studies. Usual treatment is diet and in case of failure insulin therapy with multiple injections which may lead to hypoglycemia and weight gain and is very difficult to manage for patients. Some studies have shown the comparable effect of metformin and insulin in about 50% of GD obese patients. The aim of our study is to evaluate efficacy of metformin, outcomes in mother and fetus and baby of metformin. In case of metformin failure, insulin will be added in order to obtain glycaemia in desired goals.Oxidative stress will be assessed in mother blood, baby umbilical cord blood, baby umbilical cord and placenta in 90 women and the oxidative stress compared between insulin and metformin alone treated patients.
