Active clinical trials for "Metabolic Diseases"

With the development of China's economy, people's living standard have improved, and the dietary structure have changed. Metabolic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperuricemia and obesity have gradually become an important health burden in China. The pathophysiological mechanism of renal injury caused by metabolic diseases has always been a hotspot of research. Currently, it is believed that various mechanisms including the activation of Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, vascular endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress and inflammatory process may be involved. Although there are differences in renal pathological manifestations caused by different metabolic diseases, the kidney will eventually present ischemic changes and fibrosis with the progression of the disease. So there must be some common pathogenesis. This study is designed to build a disease cohort of patients with chronic kidney disease caused by metabolic diseases, to identify risk factors leading to disease progression and to explore biomarkers for early diagnosis and treatment of kidney damage.

Therapeutic Confirmatory Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of DWP16001 in Combination with Metformin in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who Have Inadequate Glycemic Control on Metformin Alone.

Participants will be randomized into one of two different experimental groups: 1) Exercise group and 2) No exercise (control group). Subject participation in the study will involve a series of metabolic tests before and after participants undergo a 10% weight loss program (with or without exercise training depending on group randomization). After completing this weight loss portion of the study, participants will then be required to adhere to a high calorie diet program to regain half of the weight the participant lost - followed by the same series of metabolic tests.

This is a prospective 11-17 -years follow-up of two existing pregnancy cohort (PREDO) and prevention (RADIEL) studies. The main objective is to investigate the associations between maternal overweight, obesity, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, gestational diabetes, and maternal-fetal metabolome, child's birth outcomes, and overweight and obesity and cardio metabolic health outcomes in childhood and adolescence. During this follow-up study, the mothers and their 11-17-year-old children are invited for a study visit and their cardio metabolic health is studied by many different methods.

No additional risk factors have been identified in patients with Inherited Metabolic Diseases (IMD) for contracting or presenting complications of COVID-19 compared to the general population. Yet, IMD patients have cell/tissue alterations that could constitute a potential direct or indirect target for the virus. We do not know the impact of this infection on patients suffering from MHM, nor the possible effect of specific treatment of MHM on the evolution of COVID-19. This study will collect French IMD patients having or having had COVID-19 infection. The main objective is to estimate among IMD patients contracting COVID-19 the frequency of disease aggravation or metabolic decompensation. The secondary objectives will be : a. to evaluate the incidence of COVID-19 diagnosed in a given group of IMD when the number of patients with this IMD is known (Urea Cycle Deficiency, Gaucher Disease). b. to evaluate the impact of IMD on the and severity of COVID-19 infection

The goal of this study is to understand how exogenous kisspeptin affects metabolism by evaluating responses to an hyperglycemic clamp

Overnight on-call schedules can impact sleep, wellbeing, and alertness, which can be detrimental on the performance, physical and mental health of residents. Moreover, rotating shift work may have a long-term negative health impact (e.g. increased risk of diabetes). Within the National University Hospital (NUH), two different systems of rotating on-call schedules are implemented. In the night float system, residents work from 8 pm to 8 am for 5 - 7 consecutive nights once every month, compared to the traditional overnight on-call system, where each resident is on call for 4-6 nights per month (7 am - 5 pm, followed by overnight call until 8 am the next morning). The aim of the current study is to track sleep, wellbeing, and glucose metabolism during the different phases of the night float and traditional on-call schedules.

The aim of this study is to report and describe all the patients with confirmed diagnosis of inherited metabolic disease (IMD) treated with orphan medicinal products (OMPs) in a cohort of adult patients followed in a reference center for rare diseases (Lausanne University Hospital, CHUV) from 2017-2022.

This study will be a prospective randomized implementation trial for patients hospitalized with heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and/or type 2 diabetes mellitus within Duke University Medical Center. The primary hypothesis is that a virtual quality improvement-based consult intervention will improve the rate of in-hospital evidence-based cardio-renal-metabolic medication use, particularly SGLT2 inhibitor therapy. Approximately 200 patients meeting eligibility criteria will be included in the study. Patients will be assigned into study groups, as defined by randomization of their treating clinician team to receiving the virtual consult versus not.

The researchers plain to build a large-scale, longitudinal, prospective cohort characterized by TCM dampness syndrome. With the biobank of this cohort the investigators want to find the causality between TCM dampness syndrome and clinical chronic diseases and a new way to treat clinical disease.
