Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of alogliptin, once daily (QD), compared to diet and exercise, sulfonylurea, metformin and a combination of sulfonylurea and metformin for treating subjects with type 2 diabetes.

The objective of the current study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of five doses of BI 10773 compared to placebo given for 12 weeks as add-on therapy to on going metformin therapy in patients with T2DM with insufficient glycemic control. In addition, there will be an open-label treatment arm with sitagliptin (JanuviaTM) as add-on therapy to metformin.

This 3 arm study will assess the efficacy of taspoglutide on glycemic control (as assessed by HbA1c) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with metformin plus pioglitazone, compared to placebo after 24 weeks of treatment. Patients will be randomized to one of 3 treatment arms: taspoglutide 10mg once weekly, taspoglutide 20 mg once weekly (after 4 weeks of taspoglutide 10 mg once weekly) or placebo, in addition to their continued stable metformin plus pioglitazone treatment. After the first 24 weeks patients on placebo will be switched to taspoglutide 10mg once weekly or taspoglutide 20mg once weekly (after 4 weeks of taspoglutide 10mg once weekly. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

The study is aimed at Type 2 Diabetics who are taking Metformin, but whose Diabetes remains poorly controlled. There are two additional medications already in use, Glimepiride and Sitagliptin will be compared to assess levels of improvement in Diabetes control.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of DMMET-01 on insulin sensitivity by Glucose CLAMP technique in Mexican type 2 diabetes patients, after 2 months of treatment.

HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) are commonly used to treat high cholesterol (HC) in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Several studies have shown benefits of statin among patients of type 2 DM, however, no such data is available for patients with type 1 DM. It is known from studies on cholesterol metabolism using surrogate markers that patients with type 1 DM have higher cholesterol absorption compared to normals and those with type 2 DM have higher cholesterol synthesis. Since statins inhibit synthesis, patients with type 1 DM may not have a good response and may respond better to cholesterol absorption inhibitors. The purpose of this study is to determine the cholesterol lowering effects of cholesterol absorption inhibitors and cholesterol synthesis inhibitors in subjects with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

After 24 weeks of treatment, to assess the A1C-lowering efficacy of sitagliptin 100 mg once daily added to the regimen of patients with inadequate glycemic control on metformin monotherapy

This study will compare the effects of commercially manufactured exenatide once weekly and exenatide BID in subjects whose type 2 diabetes is managed with diet and exercise alone or with oral antidiabetic medications. The study will examine glycemic control (as measured by HbA1C), safety, and tolerability.

To compare efficacy of combination therapy of insulin glargine plus glimepiride and metformin versus 2 injections insulin monotherapy with premixed insulin NPH 30/70 bid in terms of change of HbA1c (baseline to endpoint) to show non-inferiority of insulin glargine plus glimepiride and metformin.

To investigate the effect of multiple doses of SLV337 on the pharmacokinetics of simvastatin and simvastatin acid when co-administered in healthy male subjects
