Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This trial is conducted in Africa. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of 50 weeks of treatment with different intensified insulin administrations (all in combination with a fixed dose of metformin) on blood sugar control in subjects with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled by oral anti-diabetic drugs (OADs).

This trial is conducted in South Africa, Europe and North America. The aim of this trial is to compare efficacy and safety of NN1250 (insulin degludec (IDeg)) with insulin glargine (IGlar), as add-on to subject's ongoing treatment with metformin and/or dipeptyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, in patients with type 2 diabetes being treated with oral anti-diabetic drugs (OADs) qualifying for intensified treatment.

Healthy individuals with type 2 diabetes will receive intensive counseling on food selection to improve glucose control using either high cereal fiber dietary strategies or low glycemic index foods emphasizing dried legumes and their products. The treatments will last 3 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 evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 different doses of canagliflozin compared with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have reduced kidney function.

Primary Objective: To demonstrate the superiority of a strategy with insulin glargine in comparison with a strategy including the premixed insulin in term of percentage of patients reaching HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) below 7% at the end of treatment and who do not experience documented symptomatic hypoglycemia (confirmed by a Plasma Glucose (PG) below 56 mg/dL (3.1 mmol/L)) over a 24-week treatment period, in Type 2 diabetes patients failing lifestyle management and oral agents. Secondary Objectives: To assess the effect of insulin glargine in comparison with premixed insulin on : Evolution of HbA1c level during the treatment period Percentage of patients who reach the target of HbA1c < 7 % and who do not experience documented symptomatic hypoglycemia confirmed by a Plasma Glucose (PG) below 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) Percentage of patients who reach the target of HbA1c < 6.5% and who do not experience documented symptomatic hypoglycemia confirmed by a PG below 56 mg/dL (3.1 mmol/L) >Percentage of patients who reach the target of HbA1c < 6.5% and who do not experience documented symptomatic hypoglycemia confirmed by a PG below 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) >Evolution of Fasting Plasma Glucose Evolution of 7-point plasma glucose profiles Evolution of weight Hypoglycemia occurrence Dose of insulins Evolution of liver function Overall safety

Body fat is an important risk factors for type 2 diabetes. However, not all body fat is the same. Research suggests that fat stored in the abdomen is most harmful. This is known as intra-abdominal fat. The objective of the proposed study is to understand the effect of exercise intensity on intra-abdominal fat and glucose control. Twenty participants with type 2 diabetes will be assigned to traditional or high intensity exercise. The exercise interventions will last a total of 14 weeks. Those in the traditional intensity group will exercise at an intensity comparable to walking. The high intensity group will alternate between 1 minute at high intensity and 3 minutes at low intensity. Both exercise groups will burn a similar amount of Calories and will exercise for the same amount of time. The exercise duration will start at 30 minutes per day. By the end of the study, it will be 60 minutes per day. All exercise sessions will be supervised. Body fat distribution will be estimated by a scanning machine called a DXA and anthropometric measures. Glycemic control will be measured from a blood sample. This study may not be of sufficient size to detect meaningful changes in these variables. However, it will provide information in regards to the preliminary efficacy, resource requirements and feasibility. Feasibility will include: recruitment, retention and adherence. Such information is essential for planning a more definitive trial. The identification of exercises that target greater reductions in abdominal fat will have important implications for the health of people with diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of 2 doses of LY2189265 on blood pressure and heart rate using 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with oral antihyperglycemic medications (OAMs).

This study will test the safety and tolerability of omarigliptin. It is hypothesized that administration of once-weekly omarigliptin in obese but otherwise healthy participants, and in obese participants with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) will be sufficiently safe and well tolerated to permit continued clinical investigation.

The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple intravenous doses of NOX-E36 in healthy subjects and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A secondary objective of the trial is to obtain exploratory estimates of the pharmacodynamic response at the level of inflammation, metabolism as well as ongoing diabetes complications (e.g. impaired cardiovascular, liver and renal function). Thus, the study is designed to provide sufficient safety and dose-response data for a planned Phase IIa proof of concept study with NOX-E36 in patients with multiple complications of type II diabetes mellitus.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of AZD1656 on Sitagliptin pharmacokinetics and vice versa in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
