Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

This protocol will investigate physiological parameters including insulin sensitivity and counterregulatory function using a mixed meal test and induced hypoglycemia in subjects with type I diabetes.

The purpose of this study is: To compare blood sugar control on LY2605541 with insulin glargine after 52 weeks of treatment. To compare the rate of nocturnal low blood sugar episodes on LY2605541 with insulin glargine during 52 weeks of treatment. To compare the number of participants on LY2605541 reaching blood sugar targets without low blood sugar episodes at night to those taking insulin glargine after 52 weeks of treatment. To compare the rate of low blood sugar episodes on LY2605541 with insulin glargine during 52 weeks of treatment

This 2-year randomized, controlled trial examined the impact of a clinic-based, family teamwork intervention on glycemic control in youth with recently diagnosed type 1 diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a real-time continuous glucose monitoring system is able to improve HbA1c in patients suffering from type 1 diabetes compared to conventional finger prick glucose measurements. In addition it will investigate whether number of episodes with serious hypoglycemia is changed in those same patients, and whether quality of life (health status and treatment satisfaction) increases.

Patients will continue to use their current insulin pump for this study. Patients will receive insulin lispro and insulin aspart during this study. One medication will be taken for 12 weeks and then the other medication for 12 weeks. Neither the patient nor the study doctor will know which medication is being taken at any time. The order in which the two medications are taken will be determined by chance.

Sanford Research/USD proposes to study the combination therapy of oral administration of sitagliptin and lansoprazole versus placebo for the preservation of pancreatic beta cells still present in patients with recent-onset diabetes and possibly regenerating their beta cells, while safely down-regulating the autoimmune response directed against the beta cells.

To examine whether temporary immunosuppression with ATG, tacrolimus and MMF allows prolonged survival of beta cell allografts in type 1 diabetic patients with early chronic complications of diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to find out if an 8-day series of otelixizumab infusions leads to greater improvement in insulin secretion as compared with placebo infusion. Insulin secretion will be assessed using mixed meal-stimulated C-peptide. Subjects will be assigned to receive either otelixizumab or placebo at a ratio of 2:1 (2/3 otelixizumab, 1/3 placebo). These study agents will be administered as an addition to insulin, diet, and other physician determined standard of care treatments. DEFEND-1 is now closed to enrollment. DEFEND-2 will begin early in 2010. It is very similar to DEFEND-1 and will again require subjects with new onset type 1 diabetes. Please check back here for more details. In the meantime, established and new onset type 1 diabetes patients in North America are welcome to consider the TTEDD study: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00451321?term=TTEDD&rank=1

A 3 month, randomized, open label, multi-center study of Technosphere/Insulin compared to insulin aspart in subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus receiving insulin glargine

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with multiple injections of GAD-Alum will preserve the body's own (endogenous) insulin production in patients who have been recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).
