Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Inflammatory processes are increasingly being recognized as a critical step in the pathogenesis of both diabetes and heart disease and may constitute a biological link between the two diseases. Inflammatory cytokines increase vascular permeability, change vasoregulatory responses, increase leukocyte adhesion to endothelium, and facilitate thrombus formation by inducing procoagulant activity, inhibiting anticoagulant pathways, and impairing fibrinolysis. Leukocyte adhesion to arterial endothelial cells is thought to be an important step in the development of atherosclerosis, and adhesion molecules, such as intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and L-selectin, play key roles in this process. Therefore, identifying novel therapeutic approaches that would favorably affect inflammation, endothelial function, and glucose is of significant interest. Investigators have recently demonstrated that, relative to placebo, sitagliptin treatment resulted in a significant reduction in plasma levels of various inflammatory markers and cell adhesion molecules. The results also suggest that the beneficial effects of sitagliptin on both inflammation and endothelial function are most likely mediated by an elevation in plasma GLP-1 levels and global improvement of the glucose-insulin homeostasis. However, the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of sitagliptin on these markers remain to be fully elucidated. The proposed study will address this key issue.

The aim of the study is to compare the effects of prebiotics versus placebo on blood concentrations of glucagon-like peptide-1 in subjects with diabetes type 2.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the study drug known as human regular U-500 insulin (U-500R) administered by continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) versus multiple daily injections (MDI) in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

This study evaluates the safety, tolerability, efficacy and population PK of HMS5552 in type 2 diabetic adult subjects,there will be 5 groups ,4 groups will receive HMS5552,while 1 will receive placebo.

This is a study to assess the safety and efficacy of the addition of ipragliflozin once daily in Japanese participants with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who have inadequate glycemic control on sitagliptin, diet, and exercise therapy. The primary hypothesis for this study is that the addition of ipragliflozin compared with placebo provides greater reduction in hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) as assessed by change from baseline at Week 24.

This research study of subjects with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) will compare the glycemic control (measured by HbA1c) in subjects co-administered saxagliptin and dapagliflozin, in addition to metformin with or without sulfonylurea, to subjects receiving insulin glargine, in addition to metformin with or without sulfonylurea, over a treatment period of 52 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of bexagliflozin in lowering hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and increased risk of cardiovascular adverse events. The data from this study will be combined with the data from other bexagliflozin studies in a meta-analysis of CV safety outcomes.

To investigate safety and tolerability of HTD4010 after single ascending doses (SAD) in healthy volunteers

This is a double-blind, randomised, controlled, two-period crossover phase Ib trial using an individualised standard meal with a fixed nutrient ratio in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus to investigate post-prandial blood glucose control with BioChaperone insulin lispro compared to insulin lispro (Humalog®, Eli Lilly and Company) before and after a period of multiple daily dose administrations for 14 days. Each subject will be randomised to a sequence of two treatments, either BioChaperone insulin lispro-Humalog® or Humalog®-BioChaperone insulin lispro. Injections will take place immediately before an individualised standard meal in the morning of day 1, 2, 13, and 14. Insulin doses will be determined at the screening visit. During the outpatient phase the subjects will keep their basal insulin constant (except changes for safety reason). They will self-measure blood glucose at least 4 times daily (pre-prandial and at bedtime). In addition, on two days per outpatient period (Day 5 and 9) blood glucose will be measured 7 times daily (pre-prandial, 2 hours post-prandial and at bedtime).

The primary purpose of this research is to demonstrate the therapeutic effects of implementing a well-formulated low carbohydrate lifestyle program over 2 years in patients with type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.
