Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Primary objective of this study is to confirm the efficacy of HOE490 O (glimepiride/metformin) compared with placebo on top of glimepiride in HbA1c change. Secondary objectives of this study is to evaluate the safety of HOE490 O (glimepiride/metformin) compared with placebo on top of glimepiride as well as other efficacy parameters

This multi-center, randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the durability and efficacy of nateglinide therapy for long term glycemic control compared with glimepiride.

The clinical study determines the safety and efficacy of Sitagliptin (MK0431) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have inadequate glycemic control on diet/exercise therapy.

A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sitagliptin in comparison to a commonly used medication in patients with type 2 diabetes

Saxagliptin is a new investigational medication being developed for treatment of type 2 diabetes. This study is designed to test the efficacy of once daily saxagliptin in renally impaired patients.

This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics of vildagliptin (LAF237) and its metabolites in patients with mild renal impairment compared to their sex, age and weigh based healthy volunteer counterparts.

Large observational studies have shown cereal fiber to protect from diabetes and heart disease. Despite the success of acarbose, an α-glucosidase hydrolase inhibitor, which lowers the glycemic index of foods containing starch, sucrose and maltodextrins, the use of diets containing low glycemic index foods still remains to be established. We will therefore provide otherwise healthy individuals with type 2 diabetes intensive counseling on food selection either to improve glucose control using high cereal fiber dietary strategies or low glycemic index foods. Studies will last 6 months with bloods taken for HbA1c, glucose and blood lipids. If the study shows a benefit for either or both diets then use of high fiber and/or low glycemic index foods in the diet may provide another potential way to improve glucose control and lower cholesterol levels in non-insulin dependent diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether berberine is effective in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

The study is designed to investigate the effect of 18 weeks treatment with Sitagliptin 100 mg/day on the insulin secretion capacity of beta cells. Patients who meet the study enrollment criteria will undergo 2 experiments (see description below); a graded hyperglycemic technique and a meal test, prior to randomization and after a 12-wk double-blind study period. The treatment effect will shed light on the magnitude of the beta cell capacity to increase its mass and function.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD)has become a significant health problem worldwide. Strategies to decrease the rate of progression of this disease and reduce the number of patients needing dialysis or renal transplantation are urgently needed. In this study we wish to compare the effect of dual blockade of renin-angiotensin system (ACE inhibitors plus angiotensin II receptor blocker) compared to the effect of ACE inhibitor monotherapy in patients with diabetic chronic nephropathy.
