Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

The aim of this clinical trial is to assess and compare the effect of insulin detemir in combination with liraglutide and metformin versus insulin detemir in combination with insulin aspart and metformin in subjects with very uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes (A1c > 10%).

The proposed study is designed to evaluate (i) the effects of saxagliptin, with or without acarbose, on gastric emptying, postprandial glycaemia, and plasma intact GLP-1, insulin, C-peptide and glucagon after a high carbohydrate meal, and (ii) whether the magnitude of the effects of saxagliptin and/or acarbose is related to the rate of gastric emptying, in patients with type 2 diabetes.

In a prospective, randomized case-controlled study, the investigators hope to demonstrate a positive correlation of plasma levels of EPA and DHA as well as fish intake with the HbA1c-lowering effect of sitagliptin but not with the active comparator glimepiride.

Hypothesis: To address the role of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)on nocturnal glycemia in patients having type 1 diabetes and sleep apnea syndrome. Investigators make the hypothesis that sleep apnea syndrome impacts nocturnal glycemia in type 1 diabetic patients and that continuous positive airway pressure treatment will permit to improve the nocturnal glycemic profile. Study design: Adult patients with type 1 diabetes will be recruited for an extensive study of sleep habits and assessment of sleep breathing disorders. When patients will present with severe sleep apnea syndrome (apnea-hypopnea index above 30 events/hour) and insufficient glycemic control (HbA1c > 7.5%), they will be randomized in continuous positive airway pressure treatment or sham-continuous positive airway pressure treatment group for three months. Main outcome: Nocturnal glycemic control will be assessed for 5 days before and after three months of the allocated treatment.

This study is a multi-center, randomized prospective trial with a 6-month follow up. A newly developed treatment and education module will be tested compared to a waiting-list control group. The module covers the topic "diabetes and social issues". Primary outcome variable is diabetes-specific empowerment regarding diabetes and social issues. Secondary outcome variables are: diabetes-related distress, health-related quality of life, depressive symptoms, self-care behavior, and glycemic control.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (blood levels) and pharmacodynamics (the action or effects a drug has on the body) of canagliflozin in children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes mellitus aged 10 to 17 years (inclusive). Other purposes are to investigate safety and assess the ease of swallowing the tablets.

The purpose of the India iPro2 study is to demonstrate that iPro2 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) evaluation enables Health Care Professional (HCP)s treating patients in India with type 2 diabetes to get a better understanding of their patient's metabolic fluctuations, and support appropriate therapeutic intervention.

The main purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of the study drug known as LY2944876 to exenatide extended-release and placebo in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus. All drugs will be given by an injection under the skin. Participants remain on stable doses of metformin, as prescribed by their personal investigator if they were on metformin at study entry. Participants' involvement in the study is expected to last about 30 weeks.

This study will evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of MK-8521 given once daily compared to placebo and another diabetes drug in participants with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study was modified by a protocol amendment to a 2-part trial to further test the safety and tolerability of MK-8521 at higher doses and to compare MK-8521 pharmacokinetics between participants with T2DM and healthy participants. An additional cohort of T2DM participants and a cohort of non-diabetic obese participants has been added.

This is a study of the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of MK-8666 in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Participants enrolled in this trial would be either treatment-naive or have washed off of oral anti-hyperglycemic agents. MK-8666 is planned to be administered orally for up to 2 weeks. The primary hypothesis for this study is that after 14 days of once daily treatment with MK-8666, at a dose that is safe and well tolerated, the placebo-corrected fasting plasma glucose reduction from baseline is ≥34 mg/dL.
