Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This study will examine the safety and efficacy of the addition of omarigliptin in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus with inadequate glycemic control on metformin and glimepiride. The primary hypothesis is that after 24 weeks, the addition of treatment with omarigliptin provides a greater reduction in hemoglobin A1c (A1C) compared with the addition of placebo.

Reduced factorial design study with 24 week randomized treatment of initial combination therapy with linagliptin and metformin in T2DM patients

Sitagliptin is a potent and selective inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), and has been shown to reduce fasting and postprandial glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mainly through incretin hormone-mediated improvements in islet function [13]. Although clinical studies to date indicate that fasting lipid levels are minimally affected by DPP-IV inhibitor treatment [14-16], animal studies suggested that DPP-IV inhibition reduce intestinal triglycerides (TG) absorption and apolipoprotein (apo) production [17] and increased chylomicron catabolism [18]. Interestingly, a recent study supporting this hypothesis showed that vildagliptin therapy was able to reduce postprandial intestinal triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) particles in patients with type 2 diabetes [19]. Recently, our group has reported that sitagliptin treatment significantly reduced plasma apo B-48 and TG concentrations in the postprandial state. Moreover, animal studies showed that sitagliptin decreased intestinal secretion of intestinal apo B-48, mainly by increasing level of glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 [20]. Therefore, the present study was designed to examine the effects of sitagliptin on the kinetics of TRL apo B-48 and in patients with type 2 diabetes. A possible reduction in postprandial atherogenic TRL apo B-48-containing lipoprotein levels by sitagliptin would add to therapeutic utility of this DPP-4 inhibitor and suggest the potential to reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes.

This trial is conducted globally. The aim of this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira) versus insulin degludec (IDeg) and liraglutide (Lira) in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Subjects are to continue their pre-trial treatment with metformin or metformin + pioglitazone throughout the entire trial.

BMS-820132 is an investigational new drug being developed by BMS for treating Type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study is to test the safety/tolerability (potential side effects) of multiple doses of the investigational new drug, as well as the amount of study drug in the blood and its effects on blood sugar,in subjects with type 2 diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of LY2189265 to increase insulin levels in response to glucose intake.

The purpose of this trial is to determine whether a initial combination of linagliptin and metformin compared to linagliptin alone for 24 weeks is effective in newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to investigate if liraglutide changes AUC (area under the curve) of ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel administered as a combination contraceptive drug (Neovletta®).

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to determine the effect of NNC 90-1170 (liraglutide) on glucose and hormonal profiles, fasting gluconeogenesis and insulin secretion in subjects with type 2 diabetes.

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to assess the effect of NNC 90-1170 on beta-cell responsiveness to increasing blood glucose concentrations in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
