Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

A multicenter, multinational, randomized,double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Patients with inadequate glycemic control using diet and exercise alone, or in combination with metformin, will be enrolled. The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that LY2428757 given to patients with T2DM inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone, or metformin monotherapy, produces a significant decrease in the mean hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline to endpoint at 12 weeks as compared to placebo. Trial consists of 12 weeks of double-blind treatment and 4-week safety follow-up.

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.

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this clinical trial is to assess and compare the effect on blood sugar control of insulin detemir and insulin aspart or insulin detemir alone administered by a insulin pen PDS290 (FlexTouch®) versus a Novo Nordisk marketed insulin pen (FlexPen®) in subjects with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, the subject's preference of the devices will be investigated by the use of questionnaires.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of two dosing regimens of FG-3019 administered over 12 weeks in patients with diabetic nephropathy and proteinuria on background angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) and/or angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB) therapy.

This 4 arm study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of taspoglutide compared to sitagliptin and placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with metformin. Patients will be randomized to receive taspoglutide (10mg once weekly or 10mg once weekly for 4 weeks followed by 20mg once weekly), sitagliptin 100mg once daily or placebo, in a ratio of 2:2:2:1, in addition to their continued prestudy metformin treatment. After 24 weeks of treatment, patients on active treatment will continue on the same treatment and patients on placebo will be switched to taspoglutide 10mg once weekly or taspoglutide 20mg once weekly (after 4 weeks of taspoglutide 10mg once weekly). The anticipated time on study treatment is 2+ years, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.

The purpose of this study is to determine if exenatide will improve global cardiac function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and congestive heart failure, by favorable effects on cardiac metabolism leading to improvement of cardiac efficiency.

There were evidences that the non-immune mediated inflammatory pathways of cell damage occurred in vitro in human islets upon hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Autologous stem cell therapies were an emerging set of therapies that showed promise with a low side effect profile. we hypothesized that infusion of mononuclear cells from buffy coat obtained from bone marrow might provide multiple signals for regeneration and inflammation-induced lesion recovery of local tissues, of which the effect might be maximized by intra-arterial pancreatic infusion through angiography and combination with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This trail includes a foregoing sub-trial that investigate the feasibility and safety of a novel method for massive bone marrow collection. The traditional BM collecting procedure is unfavorable because it yields minor bone marrow. Studies have shown that physiological exercise can increase bone marrow blood flow, which might facilitate BM collection. We plan to include a total of 60 patients with type 2 diabetes and randomly assign them to either a control group or an exercise group (n =30 each). The patients in the exercise group exercised 30 minutes before the operation. All patients underwent routine surgical care. The collected BM volume, operation time, collecting speed , puncture times and pain scores during the operation were recorded. Bone marrow samples were tested for CD34+ flow cytometry and whole blood cell count.

The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of pioglitazone taken with metformin on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes.

The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy of TAK-559, once daily (QD), in Type 2 Diabetes subjects.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of pioglitazone, once daily (QD), and glimepiride combination therapy compared to glimepiride monotherapy in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes.
