Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The purpose of the study is to compare sitagliptin and glipizide in lowering blood sugar in participants with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and end-stage renal disease on dialysis who do not have adequate glycemic control.

The results from the DECODE Study have shown that postprandial (1 - 2 hours after a meal) hyperglycemia (elevated blood sugar) is more common in elderly people with diabetes than younger people with diabetes and is the best predictor of the development of complications. The DECODE Study involved 6941 people who already had diabetes and 702 who did not have diabetes. Diabetes is diagnosed when the blood sugar 1st thing in the morning is over 7.0 mmol/L. The DECODE Study showed that people at risk for diabetes can have a normal blood sugar 1st thing in the morning but have a high blood sugar 2 hours after a meal and that these people are at risk for developing heart disease and other complications of diabetes. These people would not be identified as at risk if only a fasting blood sugar is done. Studies in younger people with diabetes have shown that after a meal, insulin levels are more like a person without diabetes and glucose (blood sugar) levels are lower with GlucoNorm than with Glyburide. There is no data available that demonstrates this in elderly people with type 2 diabetes. You have been invited to participate in this study because you have type 2 diabetes controlled by diet and/or exercise or metformin only and are over 65 years of age. The purpose of this study is to determine whether GlucoNorm has a greater effect than Glyburide on insulin levels and glucose (blood sugar) levels after a meal in elderly people with type 2 diabetes who control their diabetes with diet and exercise.

A study to assess safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of MK-0941 in Type 2 diabetics being treated with basal insulin.

A study of different doses of MK-0431 in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus. There have been 3 extensions to the base study (Extension 1: up to Week 52, Extension 2: up to Week 106, and Extension 3: up to Week 158). The primary hypothesis for the study is that In participants with type 2 diabetes who have inadequate glycemic control, after 12 weeks of treatment, a dose-response will be seen across once-daily doses of MK-0431 in lowering hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c).

This 5 arm study will assess the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of a DPP-IV inhibitor compared to placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients will be randomized to receive DPP-IV(3) at one of 4 doses (of 12.5mg and above), or placebo p.o. Patients receiving metformin before the study will continue on the same dose of metformin. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

A clinical study to determine the safety and efficacy of sitagliptin in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who have inadequate glycemic control on insulin or insulin/metformin combination therapy.

This trial is conducted in Japan. The trial aims for comparison of the effect on glycaemic control of liraglutide in combination with sulphonylurea agent (SU) compared to SU monotherapy, as assessed by HbA1c after 24 weeks and 52 weeks in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Liraglutide will be compared to placebo, in combination with SU. Trial has a randomisation period of 24 weeks followed by a 28 week extension period, in total 52 weeks.

This study is designed to look at the effect of Pioglitazone treatment on the body's ability to burn food in order to produce energy.

This study will assess the safety and efficacy of adding nateglinide to treatment with basal insulin glargine, metformin and/or thiazolidinedione (pioglitazone or rosiglitazone), for patients with type 2 diabetes who are not achieving glycemic control with glargine, metformin and/or thiazolidinedione only.

A Randomized, Open-Label, Multicenter, Comparator-Controlled Study to Examine the Effects of Exenatide Long-Acting Release (LAR) on Glucose Control (HbA1c) and Safety in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Managed with Diet Modification and Exercise and/or Oral Antidiabetic Medications.
