Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

Food insecurity, defined as difficulty accessing food owing to cost, affects 1 in 5 diabetes patients. To address this, the investigators are conducting a pilot randomized controlled trial of medically tailored meal delivery (MTM). The pilot study has two specific aims: Aim 1: To determine the effect of receiving MTM on dietary quality for food insecure diabetes patients with hyperglycemia Aim 2: To determine the feasibility and acceptability of the program as a medical intervention and refine the program as needed for testing in larger studies. This study is a crossover randomized controlled pilot trial, where approximately 50 participants, 25 in each arm, will be randomized to receipt of 12 weeks of MTM, to begin immediately, or waitlist control. After 12 weeks, the groups will crossover, with the waitlist control group now receiving 12 weeks of MTM. At baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks, the participants will complete assessments of their dietary quality (HEI score), psychosocial measures such as diabetes distress and food insecurity, along with measures of body mass index, blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c, and lipids.

Comparison of 2 doses of empagliflozin vs placebo in patients already using either an insulin regimen of multiple daily injections (MDI) or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). Randomisation to 3 treatments arms (equal assignment) following a screening period, an optimisation period and a run-in period. 52 week double-blind treatment period, and 3 week follow-up period.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Fractyl Duodenal Mucosal Resurfacing (DMR) Procedure for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes.

The primary objective of this study was to define the dose leading to desirable efficacy, as measured by the change in hemoglobin A1C (A1C) between Baseline and Week 12.

This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe and North America. The purpose is to confirm efficacy in terms of glycaemic control of treatment with mealtime faster-acting insulin aspart in combination with insulin degludec in adults with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

Two independent study parts (i.e. Part A and Part B) are included in this trial. Part A will evaluate empagliflozin 10 mg + linagliptin and Part B will evaluate empagliflozin 25 mg + linagliptin. All analyses will be carried out separately for these study parts. The objective of Part A is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the fixed dose combination (FDC) of empagliflozin 10 mg / linagliptin 5 mg compared with empagliflozin 10 mg plus FDC matching placebo administered orally once daily for 24 weeks in Japanese patients with T2DM (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus) who have insufficient glycaemic control after 16 weeks of treatment with empagliflozin 10 mg alone once daily. The study is designed to show superiority of the FDC of empagliflozin 10 mg / linagliptin 5 mg over empagliflozin 10 mg plus FDC matching placebo after 24 weeks of treatment. The objective of Part B is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the FDC of empagliflozin 25 mg / linagliptin 5 mg compared with empagliflozin 25 mg plus FDC matching placebo administered orally once daily for 24 weeks in Japanese patients with T2DM who have insufficient glycaemic control after 16 weeks of treatment with empagliflozin 25 mg alone once daily. The study is designed to show superiority of the FDC of empagliflozin 25 mg / linagliptin 5 mg over empagliflozin 25 mg plus FDC matching placebo after 24 weeks of treatment. The 24 week treatment period will be followed by a 28 week extension treatment period to evaluate further efficacy and safety up to 52 weeks.

This is a feasibility study of an artificial pancreas (AP) system with our previously validated Zone-MPC and Health Monitoring System (HMS) algorithms (ClinicalTraisl.gov: NCT01929798) integrated into the Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) system.

A keystone in preventing diabetic complications in patients with type 1 diabetes is good glycaemic control. Frequent self-measurements of blood glucose (SMBG) levels have been an essential part of insulin dosing before meals. However, in recent years continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has become a treatment option to inform the patient when glucose levels may be too high or low. In some countries, including Sweden, CGM is reimbursed only when combined with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusions (CSII) in patients with very poor glycaemic control or a history of repeated severe hypoglycaemia in adults with type 1 diabetes. This is based on existing clinical trial data showing a beneficial effect on HbA1c when CGM is combined with CSII. However, despite the fact that the majority of adults with type 1 diabetes are treated with multiple daily insulin injections (MDI), studies on the effect of CGM in patients with type 1 diabetes treated with MDI are sparse. Therefore, the investigators initiated the CGMMDI trial, an ongoing, cross-over clinical trial including 161 MDI patients receiving CGM over 6 months, followed by conventional therapy over six months, with a four-month wash-out period in-between treatment. Evaluations include glycaemic control, hypoglycaemia, quality of life, fear of hypoglycaemia, treatment satisfaction, physical activity, and safety. From a research or regulatory standpoint, long-term data on treatment effects are expected to a greater extent today than in previous years, due to various reasons, e.g., to evaluate any sustained beneficial effects over time, or long-term patient safety. Accordingly, follow-up of treatment in an extension phase after randomized diabetes trials have become more common over time, especially where many novel glucose-lowering treatments are concerned. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to evaluate long-term effects of CGM in patients with type 1 diabetes treated with MDI. Patients who consent in an extension phase over 1 year of the CGMMDI trial will receive CGM, and evaluations will be performed on sustained glycaemic control effects, hypoglycaemia, glycaemic variability, quality of life, fear of hypoglycaemia, treatment satisfaction, physical activity, and safety.

In this study, the investigators are going to investigate the efficacy of choline alfoscerate on improvement of cognitive function assessed by MMSE compared to plaebo.

In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) chronic hyperglycemia is the main cause of complications, promoting several micro and macrovascular damages. In order to understand other mechanisms that could have an impact on the development of these diabetic complications, the assessment of glycemic variability have been widely used. Glucose control can be achieved with multiple interventions, including exercise training. Some individuals, however, especially those with autonomic neuropathy, can have exercise intolerance. In this context, physical therapy proposes neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) as a therapeutic that has been applied in research and clinical practice as an alternative to the training of patients who cannot perform conventional exercise. In patients with T2DM, NMES was shown to improve glycemic control and insulin sensitivity, but quality of these trials is poor. In addition, the effects of NMES on glycemic variability of T2DM patients have not yet been reported. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of NMES on glucose levels and glucose variability in patients with T2DM.
