Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

This study is a first-in-human randomized, double-blind (Investigator and subject), placebo controlled single ascending dose study that will enroll approximately 40 (6 active/2 placebo per dose group) adult male and female subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).

This trial is conducted in Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of the trial is to investigate efficacy and safety of FIAsp (faster-acting insulin aspart) compared to insulin aspart, both in combination with insulin detemir in adults with type 1 diabetes. This trial consists of two periods: a 26 week treatment period followed by a 26 week additional treatment period.

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.

This study involves research about an investigational medicine called Amlexanox. The reason for this study is to find out how Amlexanox can improve type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this study, Amlexanox is considered to be investigational (not approved by the Food and Drug Administration [FDA]) for type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This is a placebo controlled study. There is a 50-50 chance that the patient may either receive the study drug, Amlexanox, or a placebo (sugar pill). Neither the patient or the study doctors will know if the patient is receiving the study drug or placebo.

Up to two hundred (200) adult participants with type 1 diabetes (T1D) aged 18 to 75 years will be selected for inclusion in the study. The target is to obtain treatment response and user-experience data following use of nasal glucagon (AMG504-1) in treating episodes of hypoglycemia. The population will be enriched to include participants who suffer from impaired hypoglycemia awareness.

Prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers are reported to be 15% in patients who suffer from diabetes and ulcerations are present in 84% of all diabetes-related amputations. Peripheral neuropathy leading to unperceived trauma seems to be the major cause of diabetic foot ulcers with 45-60% of ulcers to be considered merely neuropathic and 45% of mixed, neuropathic and ischemic etiology. Ulceration of lower limb is one of the most common complications related with diabetes and one of the major causes for hospitalization of diabetic patients. The most significant contributors to diabetic lower limb ulceration are neuropathy, deformity, uncontrolled elevated plantar pressure, poor glycemic status, peripheral vascular disease, male gender and duration of diabetes. Treatment of lower limb ulcers imposes an enormous burden on health care resources worldwide, and at least 33% of all expenses are spent to treat diabetic ulcers manifested as a complication of diabetes. Although at least 170 topical wound care products are available, evidence of the superiority of one over another is tenuous, well-designed randomized, controlled trials are rare, and the number of case-control or observational studies is limited. In recent years, salve prepared from Norway spruce (Picea abies) resin has successfully been used in medical context to treat both acute and chronic wounds and ulcers of various origins. The objective of this prospective, randomized and controlled clinical trial is to investigate healing rate and healing time of neuropathic diabetic foot ulcer in patients, who are suffering from infected fore- or mid-foot ulceration (PEDIS-classification ≥ Grade II; 19) originated from Type I or II diabetes, and in patients whose diabetic ulcerations are candidates for topical treatment with resin (Study treatment) or octenidine (Control treatment). In addition, factors contributing with delayed healing of ulceration, antimicrobial properties, safety and cost-effectiveness of the resin salve treatment and control treatment will be analyzed.

The purpose of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of a behavioral economic intervention to improve self monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) in adolescents and young adults with T1D. The intervention will reinforce patients for conducting SMBG, with escalating reinforcers provided when patients achieved sustained periods of testing at least 4 times/day at appropriate intervals. A 6-month trial will be conducted in which 60 patients will be randomized to: (1) standard care or (2) standard care plus the reinforcement intervention.

Study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of BI 1356 BS (0.5 mg, 2.5 mg, and 10 mg) administered orally once daily for 28 days in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

This trial is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of empagliflozin compared with placebo in hypertensive black/African Americans with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Since hyperglycaemia and hypertension are key risk factors for both micro- and macrovascular complications, assessment of both glucose and BP lowering effects of empagliflozin in hypertensive African American patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus could provide clinically highly relevant, new information for the use of empagliflozin. Essential hypertension is four times more common in African Americans than in Caucasians. One of the risk factors for hypertension is sodium sensitivity and approximately one third of the essential hypertensive population is responsive to sodium intake. There is a higher association of hypertension with sodium sensitivity in African American patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The treatment duration of this trial (24 weeks) will enable assessment of the clinically relevant endpoint of a decrease in HbA1c, a well accepted measurement of chronic glycaemic control and the key secondary endpoints of decreases in systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) at 12 and 24 weeks.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the short-term immune response of type-2 diabetics with generalized chronic periodontitis (GCP) to nonsurgical periodontal treatment. The investigators hypothesize that type-2 diabetes exacerbates the disruption of DC (dendritic cells)-mediated immune homeostasis associated with periodontitis.
