Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This trial is conducted in Asia. The aim of this trial is to compare efficacy and safety of insulin detemir plus insulin aspart and NPH insulin plus human soluble insulin both in a basal bolus regimen with or without metformin in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes. The trial adopts a group sequential design, where the analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint will be performed at the interim analysis, in addition to the final formal analysis. The decision to continue or stop the trial will be based on the result of the interim analysis.

A Phase 2 study of RTA 402 in Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Examination of the effect of Linagliptin versus placebo for 6 months on vascular inflammation of the carotic artery and on abdominal adipose tissue inflammation in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. The effect will be assessed by FDG-PET scan. Furthermore the effect of Linagliptin on the vessel wall volume of the carotid artery will be assessed by MRI scan and biomarkers of vascular inflammation will be analyzed in blood samples.

To investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of BI 14332 CL following administration of multiple rising oral doses over 10 days in patients with type 2 diabetes.

This trial will assess the safety and efficacy of omarigliptin (MK-3102) compared with the sulfonylurea, glimepiride, in type 2 diabetes mellitus participants who are metformin intolerant or who have a contraindication to the use of metformin. The primary hypothesis is that after 54 weeks, the mean change from baseline in hemoglobin A1c (A1C) in participants treated with omarigliptin is non-inferior compared with that in participants treated with glimepiride.

To determine whether addition of Carvedilol CR to diabetic patients with hypertension who are receiving the ACEi,Lisinopril,will provide added benefits to blood vessels when compared to treatment with Lisinopril alone.It is believed that carvedilol provides added benefits by suppressing free radicals(charged substances that cause damage to the body ) and inflammation.

A large number of research studies on people who were morbidly obese (extremely overweight), and had bariatric surgery (anti-obesity surgery) have shown that patients who were diabetic before surgery often experienced significant improvement in their diabetes following the surgery. For some patients, blood glucose levels returned to the normal range, and they were able to stop taking all of their diabetes medications. For others, blood glucose levels improved, allowing them to reduce their diabetes medications. This research study is being done to determine whether bariatric surgery can safely provide better control of diabetes symptoms in obese diabetics than continuing medical management (anti-diabetic drugs in combination with diet and lifestyle changes). There are several different types of bariatric surgery currently being used to treat morbid obesity. Two of the most common techniques are gastric bypass and adjustable gastric banding. This study will be comparing these two surgical techniques to treatment with a combination of drugs, diet, and lifestyle changes for control of type 2 diabetes.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether, in patients with type 2 diabetes and pre-existing disease of the heart and the circulatory system and/or the kidney, aliskiren at a target dose of 300 mg once daily (compared to placebo), on top of conventional treatment, reduces death and disease caused by the heart, the circulatory system and the kidney. AMENDMENT 4 RATIONALE (MARCH 2012) : Protocol amendment 4 served to address the data monitoring committee recommendation dated 14 Dec 2011 to discontinue study treatment in all participating patients. It also addressed the subsequent Health Authorities request to implement a 12 month safety follow-up period (actual duration was 9 months in average) post study drug discontinuation.

This trial is conducted in Europe, Asia, North America and South America. The aim of this research trial is to compare the efficacy of inhaled insulin to glimepiride and metformin combination therapy in treatment of subjects with type 2 diabetes and to verify the safety of use (hypoglycaemia, pulmonary function, body weight, insulin antibodies and side effects).

The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of volinanserin in the population of patients complaining of sleep maintenance insomnia. The objective of the substudy is to assess glycemic control in the subgroup of patients with type II diabetes mellitus.
