Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

This study will assess the effect of combined treatment with MK0893 plus propranolol versus placebo plus propranolol on hypoglycemia.

The objective of this trial is to evaluate the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of once daily oral administration of BI 10773 administered for 28 days in Japanese patients with T2DM.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of CNTO 3649 following a single dose in healthy adults and following multiple doses in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Many studies were already performed showing beneficial cardiovascular and metabolic effects of physical training for type 2 diabetic patients. However, glucose profile during and immediately after a short period of aerobic and/or resistance training was not studied yet. Continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) has now been added to the repertoire of technological devices useful in the management of patients with diabetes. Such monitoring enables clinicians to detect occult hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia not otherwise discernable with intermittent testing of blood glucose. The main aim of the present study is to investigate continuous blood glucose profile (using CGMS) over 72h, beginning 24h before and ending 24h after a single bout of aerobic or aerobic/resistance physical training in type 2 diabetic patients.

The purpose of this study is to compare the benefits and risks of lixisenatide (AVE0010) used as 2-step initiation regimen and 1-step initiation regimen in Japan, over a period of 24 weeks of treatment, followed by an extension up to Week 76. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of lixisenatide once daily treatment in monotherapy at Week 24 by a descriptive comparison of a 1-step initiation and a 2-step initiation regimen in patients with type 2 diabetes in Japan. The secondary objectives are to assess the overall safety of lixisenatide once daily treatment in monotherapy at Week 52 and Week 76; to assess the effects of lixisenatide on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction at Week 52 and Week 76, body weight, and fasting plasma glucose (FPG); to assess pharmacokinetics (PK) and anti-lixisenatide antibody development.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of sustained walnut consumption on endothelial function and lipid markers in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of LY2189102 in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and risks of lixisenatide (AVE0010), in comparison to placebo, as an add-on treatment to basal insulin with or without sulfonylurea, over a period of 24 weeks of treatment. The primary objective is to assess the effects of lixisenatide, when added to basal insulin, on glycemic control in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction at Week 24. The secondary objectives are to assess the effects of lixisenatide on body weight, 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) after standardized meal challenge test, percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than 7 percent (%), percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than or equal to 6.5%, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), change in 7-point self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) profiles, change in daily basal insulin and total insulin doses; to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and anti-lixisenatide antibody development.

This 2 arm study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of taspoglutide compared to placebo in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with metformin monotherapy. Patients will be randomized to receive taspoglutide (10mg sc once weekly for 4 weeks followed by 20mg once weekly) or placebo sc, in addition to their prescribed, pre-existing metformin therapy.After the first 24 weeks, patients on placebo will be switched to taspoglutide 20mg once weekly (after 4 weeks on taspoglutide 10mg once weekly) The anticipated time on study treatment is 12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

An intestinal hormone called Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) is released into the blood immediately after ingestion of a meal and plays an important role in regulating blood sugar levels. However, GIP is not active in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) which is also known as adult onset or non-insulin-dependent diabetes. This study is being conducted to determine whether a hormone called xenin-25 can restore the activity of GIP in persons with T2DM.
