Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of DPP-IV Inhibitor in patients with type 2 diabetes receiving a stable dose of metformin. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

This study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of DPP-IV Inhibitor compared to placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes. The anticipated time on study treatment is < 3 months and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

This study is not being conducted in the United States. Key long-term clinical studies have shown that people with type 2 diabetes should try to achieve overall blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of vildagliptin, an unapproved drug, compared to placebo in lowering overall blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes who have not been previously treated with drug therapy to lower their blood sugar and whose blood glucose levels are close to normal.

This study is designed to compare the effects of twice-daily exenatide plus oral antidiabetic (OAD) agents and twice-daily placebo plus OAD with respect to glycemic control, as measured by hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), in patients with type 2 diabetes who experience inadequate glycemic control with OAD alone.

This study will look at the safety of substituting exenatide for insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes who are currently taking insulin and oral antidiabetic agent(s).

The purpose of this study is to assess the long term safety and effectiveness of three doses of vildagliptin, an unapproved drug, compared to placebo in lowering overall blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes who have not previously been treated with drug therapy to lower their blood sugar.

The AFORRD trial is asking three important questions: What proportion of people with Type 2 Diabetes are likely to be treated satisfactorily with a fixed dose of a statin that lowers blood cholesterol levels to help reduce the risk of heart disease? To what extent do omega-3 fatty acids lower blood triglyceride levels when given with or without a statin? Are there simple techniques that can help people to take their tablets on a regular basis?

The purpose of this study is to investigate and evaluate the effects of different interventions (1.continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion,2.multiple daily injections, 3.anti-hyperglycemic agents) on glycemic control, B-cell function and the remission rate in newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients.

Aim: The United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) showed a reduction in cardiovascular events in obese patients with type-2-diabetes treated with metformin compared with other hypoglycaemic treatments with no difference in glycemic control between treatments. Non-obese patients with type-2-diabetes are usually treated with insulin-secretagogues or insulin when diet fails. Since non-obese patients with type-2-diabetes also carry a high risk of cardiovascular events, the use of metformin for this sub-group of patients might be more beneficial. Moreover, when insulin-treatment is initiated ongoing oral hypoglycaemic agents (OHA) are often continued, but in non-obese patients with type-2 diabetes little evidence exist for choosing the optimal class of OHA to be combined with insulin. The aim of the project is therefore to investigate the effect of metformin vs. an insulin-secretagogue (repaglinide) in combination with insulin on glycemic control and non-glycemic cardiovascular risk-factors in non-obese patients with type-2-diabetes, uncontrolled on diet alone. Methodology: Single-center, double-blind, double-dummy, randomized, parallel study involving 100 non-obese (BMI 27 kg/m2 or lower) patients with type-2-diabetes investigating the effect of treatment with metformin vs. repaglinide each in combination with biphasic insulin (Insulin-aspart 30/70, BIAsp30) for a period of 12 months.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of an investigational drug in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
