Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase III Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of JT-003 Add-on in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Inadequately Controlled with Metformin and Dapagliflozin

Successful management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) requires adherence to a dietary, physical activity, and medication plan agreed upon between a patient and their healthcare providers. The lifestyle changes involved in these collaborative care plans (CCPs) often provide little to no short-term benefit and may instead be aversive (e.g., caloric restriction and physical activity). However, these changes provide critical health benefits in the future, allowing patients with T2D to halt or reverse disease progression and avoid T2D-related complications (e.g., renal disease or diabetic retinopathy). Thus, successful management of T2D requires one's present behavior to be guided by future outcomes. Unfortunately, accumulating evidence indicates that individuals with T2D and prediabetes show elevated rates of delay discounting (i.e., devaluation of delayed consequences). Moreover, high rates of delay discounting are cross-sectionally and longitudinally associated with poor treatment adherence and clinical outcomes in T2D and prediabetes. These data suggest that high rates of delay discounting prevent successful management of T2D through a mechanism in which the health benefits of lifestyle changes are too delayed to motivate behavioral change. Thus, we believe delay discounting serves as a therapeutic target in T2D, where improving participants' valuation of the future will facilitate healthy lifestyle changes and, in turn, improve T2D management. This study will conduct a randomized 24-week remote clinical trial comparing repeated measures ANOVA, with group (episodic future thinking [EFT]/control) and area (urban vs. rural) as between-subjects factors, and time (baseline, week 8, and week 24 assessments) as within-subjects factors in adults with type 2 diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to investigate if repeat bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccinations can confer a beneficial immune and metabolic effect on pediatric Type 1 diabetes.

In this study, we will assess the change of extended renin-angiotensin system including serum ACE-2 and angiotensin(1-7) levels and subclinical atherosclerosis after using fimasartan (an ARB), compared to amlodipine in hypertensive patients with T2DM.

ABSTRACT Background: Insulin resistance (IR) plays a major role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Adipose tissue (AT) dysfunction leading to systemic low-grade inflammation and ectopic lipid deposition plays an important role in obesity-induced IR, but its role in T2D pathogenesis and to what extent insulin-sensitizing interventions can reverse AT dysfunction remain to be clarified. Hypothesis/aims: To test the hypotheses 1) that T2D is associated with exaggerated AT dysfunction compared with obesity alone, 2) that increased insulin sensitivity and remission of T2D after bariatric surgery is in part explained by improved AT function Research plan: Novel markers of exaggerated AT dysfunction will be identified and studied together with known markers of AT dysfunction in patients with T2D compared with non-diabetic obese and lean individuals. Then the effects of bariatric surgery on all these markers of AT dysfunction in obesity and T2D will be studied. Adipose tissue and skeletal muscle biopsies and blood samples will be used for 1) next generation RNA sequencing, 2) targeted analysis of mRNA and protein content/activities, 3) metabolomics, 4) morphological analysis and 5) analysis of adipokines/myokines. Abnormalities in T2D and changes in response to bariatric surgery will be related to substrate metabolism, insulin sensitivity and secretion and insulin signalling in muscle. Perspectives: This project provides novel insight into the role of AT dysfunction in T2D pathogenesis in humans and the potential of bariatric surgery to reverse AT dysfunction and improve insulin sensitivity. We ultimately expect that this will help us to identify novel pharmaceutical targets for the treatment of IR.

Follow up visits: After recruitment, patient is supposed to have three visits for follow-ups. Visit 1: 4 to 6 weeks of initiation of therapy. Visit 02: At 12 weeks of initiation of therapy. Visit 03: At 24 weeks of initiation of therapy. LABORATORY TESTING: Reputable Lab is considered for laboratory testing of diabetes patients i.e. HbA1C%, FBG, RFT and urine R/E. The certified clinical lab will be responsible for receiving and analyzing clinical sample. Patients will have special discount of upto 50% for study related laboratory investigations. Where in Urine Routine Examination (Urine R/E), we consider as follows: Visual Examination: Urine color: Normal (Yellow), Pale Yellow, Dark Yellow, Brown, Red or Pink or any other. Urine clarity: Clear, slightly Cloudy, cloudy or turbidity Chemical Examination: Specific gravity pH Bilirubin Urobilinogen Protein Ketone Leukocyte Esterase Microscopic Examination: Red Blood Cells: Epithelial Cells: Amorphous: Pus Cells Bacteria Yeast Casts Crystals Where in Renal Function Test (RFT), we consider as follows: Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): mg/dL Serum Creatinine: mg/dL Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR): mL/min/1.73 m2

The purpose of this study is to test the effect of using a digital diabetes self management education and support system compared with standard care for patients with type 2 diabetes in primary health care.

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.

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

This study is comparing the medicine RYBELSUS® to other medicines in people with type 2 diabetes who need extra treatment. All medicines used in this study are tablets which lower blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. The purpose of the study is to see how well RYBELSUS® is at lowering blood sugar compared to other tablets when used in addition to metformin. Participants doctor will give participants either RYBELSUS® or any other blood sugar lowering tablets - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The doctor treating participants diabetes will give participants a prescription for the medicine and tell how to take it. The study will last for about 1 year. Participants will have 2 planned visits with their doctor which are part of the usual routine diabetes management: the first visit is when participants are included in the study, the second visit is a 1-year follow-up visit. In addition, the study personnel will contact participants up to 3 times during this period and to follow-up on information from participant doctors visits. Participant will be asked to respond 3 times to 4 questionnaires via their personal smartphone or tablet or paper if participant do not have access to one during the study. All clinic visits are part of the usual routine diabetes management and are covered by participants health insurance plan. The study team will collect information from these visits recorded in the medical chart. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period.
