Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

The objective of DIAGNODE-3 is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three intranodal injections of 4 μg of Diamyd compared to placebo, along with oral Vitamin D supplementation, to preserve endogenous beta cell function and influence glycemic parameters in adolescent and adults recently diagnosed with T1D carrying the HLA DR3-DQ2 haplotype.

The purpose of the study is to compare rates of neonatal hypoglycemia with maternal NPH vs determir use.

This is a multicenter randomized clinical trial of 828 overweight and obese individuals with gestational diabetes designed to compare standard to intensive glycemic targets.

Patients with pre-transplantation type 2 diabetes (T2D) and new-onset diabetes post liver transplantation (NODAT) are managed with multiple doses of subcutaneous insulin (MSI) following liver transplantation. As these patients receive oral glucocorticoids (mostly prednisolone) and immunosuppressants, which elevate blood glucose levels, multiple doses of insulin are usually required. After 2-3 months, when steroid doses are tapered and doses of immunosuppressants stabilize, insulin requirements subside and several oral hypoglycemic agents are initiated, such as metformin and sitagliptin. However, these agents are prescribed off-label as the data regarding the safety and efficacy of these agents in patients with liver transplantation are scarce. Furthermore, several patients with liver transplantation develop fatty liver (liver steatosis) several months after transplantation, which is a risk factor for liver dysfunction. SGLT-2 inhibitors are reported to have favorable effect on liver fat accumulation in patients with T2D. However, the effect of SGLT-2 inhibitor on liver fat accumulation after liver transplantation has not been evaluated. Chronic liver disease is associated with changes in body composition, especially increase in visceral fat and decrease in skeletal muscle mass. Data regarding the changes in body composition following liver transplantation are scarce. In this RCT, Investigators aim to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin vs sitagliptin on liver fat accumulation; body composition variables; and safety and efficacy of these oral hypoglycemic agents in patients with diabetes and liver transplantation

The aim of this multicentre, prospective, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, 3-arm parallel group, interventional study is to assess for the first time the effects of either a combined therapy with the antihyperglycemic drugs semaglutide and empagliflozin or empagliflozin monotherapy compared to placebo as potential treatments for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in patients with type 2 diabetes.

An open label, prospective study that will include up to 48 subjects with Type 1 Diabetes treated with Multiple Daily Injections ( MDI) and Self Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG) or intermittent Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM). The study will include screening, a 2-4-week run-in period and a 8 weeks intervention period. Subjects will be asked to record their insulin delivery during basal/bolus insulin treatment (using dedicated apps ) and their daily activities (meals, physical activity etc.) using electronic log (implemented on Dedicated Apps), for a total period of 12-14 weeks. The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety of a decision support system for adjustment of insulin treatment plan for people with diabetes using multiple daily injections and monitoring glucose by SMBG or intermittent CGM

This trial will assess the efficacy of the Tandem t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control IQ technology compared with standard insulin delivery plus CGM in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes.

Evidence suggests that prebiotic fibre can correct dysbiosis, reduce intestinal permeability and improve glycemic control. The investigators hypothesize that microbial changes induced by prebiotics contribute to gut and endocrine adaptations that reduce glucose fluctuations, including less hyper- and hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes (T1D). The primary objective is to compare the change in frequency of hypoglycemia from baseline to 6 months in n=144 newly diagnosed (<12 months) individuals with T1D treated with a 6-month course of prebiotic or placebo as an adjunct to insulin. Secondary objectives will be aimed at understanding the mechanisms by which the prebiotics could affect glycemic control.

This study will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial comparing the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin to placebo in 52 kidney transplant recipients (KTR) with pre-existing type. diabetes (T2D) or post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM). The primary outcome of the trial is to determine if dapagliflozin is superior to placebo in reduction of blood pressure in KTR.

The number of people with diabetes rose from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation. Current challenges in diabetes management include: (1) optimizing the use of currently available therapies to ensure adequate glycemic control and to reduce complications; (2) educating patients on diabetes self-management; (3) improving patient adherence to lifestyle and pharmacologic interventions; ; and (4) reducing barriers to the early use of insulin. In this research, the impact of pharmaceutical care and Insulin staging will be evaluated in patients with type 2 diabetes to overcome this challenges. The concept of "pharmaceutical care" was first introduced by Helper and Strand in 1990, pushing for the transformation of the Pharmacy profession from "product-focused" to "patient-centric". Pharmaceutical care is a patient-centered practice in which the practitioner assumes responsibility for a patient's drug-related needs and is held accountable for this commitment. Due to the progressive nature of the disease, which requires timely optimization of treatment, leading in a majority of cases to insulin therapy, so that proper use of insulin is one of the critical tools for prevention of long-term complications. From the hundred patients in this study, half of the patients will be the control group without any intervention, and pharmaceutical care and insulin staging will be applied on the remaining. In this research two strategies will be applied including pharmaceutical care process and Insulin Staging approach on patients with T2DM, those who are on end stage treatment.
