Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

The purpose of this study is to develop an implementation protocol and test the feasibility and acceptability of a first trimester screening protocol for the early detection of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

This study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of bardoxolone methyl in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether addition of 1 or 2 medicines after gastric banding can improve remission of type 2 diabetes.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of a wireless smart insulin pen and smartphone-based bolus advisor on clinical and psychosocial outcomes in insulin-treated diabetes mellitus patients after 3 months of use.

Gestational diabetes (GDM) is the most common hormonal complication during pregnancy. Its occurrence implies an increased risk of maternal and fetal complications and, therefore, its diagnosis and treatment are extremely important. Since the adoption of the new diagnostic criteria proposed by the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) in 2010, an increasing number of cases of mild hyperglycemia have demanded follow-up and treatment. The need and benefit of treatment in these cases of mild hyperglycemia has been discussed worldwide. Women who have been diagnosed with GDM are at increased risk for type 2 DM in the years following gestation. Other factors (such as lipid profile, obesity, adipokine dosage) may also be related to the repercussions of GDM on the maternal-fetal binomial, since gestations with satisfactory glycemic control can also present complications related to the disease and increased risk of type 2 DM in the long term. The present study aims to investigate factors associated with the need for insulin use, the occurrence of perinatal complications, nutritional status, physical activity and weight retention one year after delivery and the postpartum diagnosis of type 2 DM 10 years after delivery in women diagnosed with GDM according to the current criteria suggested by the IADPSG.

This feasibility pilot is intended to understand whether adolescents with Type 2 Diabetes (2DM) can be transitioned to a continuous subcutaneous insulin injection (CSII) and if so, assess whether CSII is a feasible treatment modality and improves quality of life (QOL) in adolescents with T2DM over 3 month period.

In France, the global prevalence of diabetes was estimated to 5% of the population in 2016, the type two diabetes (DT2) corresponding to 90% of cases. This number is widely underestimated because most people are untreated and undiagnosed. Due to the silent character of this disease, it is estimated that 20 à 30 % of diabetic adults have not yet been diagnosed. The conclusions, presented during the annual meeting of EASD in 2019, suggest that the precursor signs of this disease could be present until 20 years before the diagnosis. Diabetes is a metabolic disease and people are diagnosed, in general, around 40-50 years old. The main risk factor of type II diabetes is lifestyle (rich diet, sedentary) but there is also other factors like hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure, high fasting blood sugar, stress, smoking, heredity, family history of diabetes, or gestational diabetes. This induces an increase of obesity, itself a major risk factor for type II diabetes occurrence. From an economical aspect, chronic pathologies (including diabetes) represent 60% of health insurance expenses, even though it concerns 35% of insured persons, i.e. 20 million of patients. The average of annual reimbursement for a type 2 diabetic patient is 4890 euros. In this context, this study is the first step of thinking about a different, coordinated care approach, based on a preventive rather than curative approach.

The CASCADE Study (Combined Antibody Screening for Celiac and Diabetes Evaluation) is an observational study whose primary goal is to show that population-based screening for advanced prediction of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and celiac disease (CD) is feasible to prevent diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), improve celiac disease diagnosis, and ultimately gain public health acceptance to facilitate future prevention. It has two arms, a Birth Cohort and a Kids (cross sectional) Cohort.

This study is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of the study is to monitor the number of annual new adult cases of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and to establish a registry for these new cases in order to identify any possible increase related to the introduction of liraglutide, exenatide once-weekly, and other GLP-1 receptor agonists into the US market.

The study hypothesis is that people who respond well to sulphonylureas have a different underlying cause for their diabetes than people who respond poorly to this medication. We are using two approaches to study this. In one approach we look at people who have previously responded well or poorly, confirm this by rechallenging them with a sulphonylurea drug, and then looking at how well they produce insulin in response to glucose and an intravenous sulphonylurea called tolbutamide. The second approach identifies people with a certain genetic predisposition to diabetes (due to changes in the TCF7L2 gene) and then looks at how well they respond to sulphonylurea medication.
