Active clinical trials for "Hypoglycemia"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical pharmacology of XOMA 358 in patients with hypoglycemia after gastric bypass surgery.

This is a single center, single-blind randomized cross over design trial that will compare the impact of intra-nasal naloxone vs. intra-nasal saline administration during experimental hypoglycemia on day one on responses to experimental hypoglycemia on day two. Investigators intend to enroll 18 individuals to obtain the complete data sets from 15 participants. Expected duration of subject participation is 10-12 weeks. This study will consist of two 2-day intervention visits separated by approximately 8 weeks.

The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two different dosing regimens of an investigational drug called Avexitide in treating low blood sugar in patients with Acquired Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and feasibility of outpatient-utilization of low-dose dasiglucagon administered via a multi-dose reusable pen injector in preventing and treating mild hypoglycemia in insulin pump-treated people with type 1 diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to determine the most effective treatment option for managing naturally occurring hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes. Hypotheses: Sucrose and Fructose are equally effective as glucose in the treatment of spontaneous hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes. Children and teens will use a variety of treatment practices for the management of hypoglycemia. Children and teens will prefer the mode of treatment that was most effective in treating hypoglycemia.

The maintenance of nearly normal glycemic levels reduces the risk of diabetic complications, but is difficult to achieve, despite the administration of escalating doses of oral antidiabetic drugs, such as metformin, sulfonylureas, and thiazolidinediones. Most patients eventually require insulin which usually is added when glycemic control with a regimen of oral antidiabetic agents becomes suboptimal. The aims of the present study were: 1) To compare the clinical efficacy of insulin glargine and neutral protamine lispro (NPL) insulin when added to ongoing oral therapy in poorly controlled type 2 diabetic patients; 2) to find out the possibility to phenotype the patient who may benefit more by the single treatment. This an open-label, randomized, parallel, 36-week comparative study was performed between January 2007 and March 2008 at a single centre.

This clinical trial is designed to extend the observations made in our pilot clinical trial (IND 8971, Study #1) on the safety and efficacy of immunotherapy with the anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody hOKT3γ1 (Ala-Ala), (currently called MGA031) combined with sirolimus and tacrolimus in preventing rejection and autoimmune destruction of deceased donor pancreatic islet transplants in type 1 diabetic recipients.

The investigators hypothesize that the use of an oral dose of Terbutaline or a 20% basal reduction will be able to prevent nocturnal hypoglycemia after an afternoon exercise session. This is a randomized three period cross-over study including treatment with Terbutaline, a 20% basal reduction for six hours, or no treatment (control).

The purpose of the trial is to determine if erythropoietin (EPO) can enhance cognitive function during hypoglycaemia in patients with type 1 diabetes. Patients with type 1 diabetes will receive one injection of EPO. Hypoglycaemia will be induced 6 days after. Before (1 hour), during and after (1 hour) hypoglycaemia, the cognitive function will be measured.

Severe hypoglycaemia is hampering the lives of many diabetic patients. The effect on the occurrence of severe hypoglycaemia during two different insulin regimens are to be investigated. In total, 250 hypoglycaemia prone type 1 diabetic patients will be randomised to receive analogue and human insulin for one year in random order. Outcomes will be number of episodes of severe hypoglycaemia
