Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

The main purpose is to evaluate whether the percentage of body weight change from baseline to week 12 is higher than that in the placebo group. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 40 patients fulfilling the study criteria and 4 healthy donors will be enrolled. Patients will be randomized(1:1) to either FMT or placebo.

T2DM is a complex disorder which has major health, social and economic consequences. Its chronic hyperglycaemia is associated with macro- and micro-vascular complications and even death. The prevalence of T2DM in Nepal is high. In Nepal, Ayurveda is the dominant traditional medical system and is in use for thousands of years, especially for meeting the primary healthcare needs. Lack of availability of western medical system doctors in rural areas is another reason. In recognition of these facts, the Nepalese government actively promotes Ayurveda and deploys Ayurvedic practitioners in PHCs, often as the main clinical provider. This is a two-arm, feasibility cluster RCT with blinded outcome assessment and integrated qualitative process evaluation will be conducted in 12 Ayurvedic Primary Health Care Center Participants who are aged 18 years or above, new T2DM patients (i.e., treatment naïve), diagnosed by the participating Ayurvedic practitioner and able to provide written informed consent will be enrolled in the study. Each participant will be involved in the study for six months. Patient will be assessed for Glycated haemoglobin, Lipid Profile, Physiological parameters like heart rate and pulse rate, Anthropometric parameters, EuroQol-5D-5L

This is a prospective randomized placebo-controlled double-blind crossover study determining the effect of dichloroacetate on brain glucose metabolism under clamped hypoglycemia in T1DM.

To assess whether there is a difference in endogenous insulin secretion, measured as stimulated C-peptide secretion (area under the curve during a 4-hour mixed meal tolerance test), at the 1 year visit, for study subjects receiving combinational therapy versus those receiving placebo. The study will also examine the effect of the proposed treatments on immunological outcomes, specifically proportion of regulatory T cells at the 1 year visit.

In this study, the investigators hypothesize that studying monogenic variants with strong effect associated with severe insulin deficiency of Wolfram syndrome will provide important insights into the more complex type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Aim 1. Establish and maintain a registry of patients with Wolfram syndrome. An Internet based registry will be employed to enroll participants with the clinical diagnosis of Wolfram syndrome (insulin dependent DM and bilateral OA). Clinical information regarding age of diagnosis and progression of the disease will be collated and analyzed to better define its natural history, along with potential metabolic phenotypes such as glucose intolerance of heterozygous parents and unaffected sibs. If not already completed, blood for WFS1 sequence analysis will be obtained on the participants (parents and sibs also for control purposes) and sent to a CLIA certified lab to define the mutation. This information will benefit patient families and referring physicians by providing a genetic diagnosis and where indicated. The Wolfram Syndrome Registry will foster international collaborations to more efficiently and systematically collect Wolfram syndrome patients and their clinical and experimental data.

Evaluation of safety, tolerability and superiority of RK-01, a valsartan plus celecoxib dual add-on to metformin-HCL XR over metformin in newly diagnosed and obese adult type 2 diabetes patients with high blood pressure, arthritis and inadequate glycemic control with metformin monotherapy, diet and exercise over 26 weeks of treatment. Objective: To assess effect of RK-01 on HbA1c levels, beta cell function and insulin resistance with co-administration of valsartan, celecoxib and metformin-HCl XR relative to metformin monotherapy. Hypothesis: After 26 weeks of treatment with valsartan, celecoxib and metformin-HCl XR provides greater improvements in glycemic, inflammatory and atherogenic parameters compared to metformin monotherapy.

The goal of this study is to determine the impact of pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes on muscle atrophy during a period of bed rest and recovery of muscle mass, strength, and physical function following bed rest.

The overarching goal of this proposal is to determine whether DNA methylation of the mitochondrial DNA impairs mitochondrial function in insulin resistant states such as overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes.

The aim of the present study is to investigate a targeted proteomic analysis in plasma of children - of Greek origin- with type 1 diabetes (DT1) and its correlation with the electrophysiological findings that accompany diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is the most frequent chronic complication in adults with DT1 and rarely appears in childhood. Nevertheless, cases of acute mononeuritis have been described at the time of diagnosis of DT1. According to recent reports several biomarkers, including proteomic analysis, have been proposed for the early detection of peripheral neuropathy in children and young adults with T1DM. In the present study the researchers will attempt to investigate the role of biomarkers with targeted proteomic analysis in the plasma of children with DT1 in combination with an electrophysiological study, which includes a nerve conduction study, to detect early diabetic peripheral neuropathy, before the appearance of clinical manifestations.

Abstract Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) refers to different degrees of glucose intolerance or impaired glucose tolerance,which are commonly found on non-diabetic persons during pregnancy.GDM is an important public health issue that has a huge impact on children's health.According to statistics,the global occurrence of GDM in 2017 was as high as 16.2%.As well as lifestyle changes that are leading to an increased number of women with overweightness and obesity,the increasing number of"older mothers"responding to the second-child policy are raising up the percentile of GDM by the year.infancy and pre-school age are the important stages of physical growth and psychomotor development.At present,there are few domestic and International studies on the impact of GDM on the health of children,and the conclusions are not the same.There is a lack of long-term follow-up and Chinese samples. This study focuses on the current new hotspot in the research of the children's health problems, based on the 1000-day life concept and theory of DOHaD. Prospective cohort study methods and real-world studies were used. To study and clarify the effect of GDM on the neuropsychological development and physical growth indicators of children in China, and further explore the possible mechanism of action and the related indicators of predictive value, looking for possible early intervention targets. The results are expected to expand the data sources of this type of research in China, improve the data quality and clarify the characteristics of this type of population in China, and provide data support for the revision of maternal and child health related policies.
