Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The purpose of this study is to learn whether dapagliflozin, after 12 weeks, can improve (decrease) blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes with uncontrolled hypertension who are on an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

The overall goal of the proposed protocol is to rigorously test the hypothesis that CPAP treatment has beneficial effects on glycemic control in patients with both type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). If our hypothesis were to be proven, this would imply that CPAP treatment of OSA in patients with T2DM is an essential component of their glycemic control. The proposed work is thus expected to provide additional preventive and therapeutic approaches in the management of millions of patients with T2DM.

This study is carried out to assess whether dapagliflozin improves glycemic control, decreases fasting plasma glucose levels, body weight and blood pressure when added to patient's existing medications and how it compares with their usual treatment without added dapagliflozin. Safety data will be collected and analysed to confirm that treatment with dapagliflozin is safe and well tolerated in patients who have diabetes and cardiovascular disease

This multi-center, randomized, double-blind, active controlled, parallel-group study in type 2 diabetes patients with moderate renal impairment will evaluate the effect on renal function and the safety and tolerability of aleglitazar compared with pioglitazone. Patients will be randomized to receive either 150 mcg aleglitazar or 45 mg pioglitazone as daily oral doses. In addition, a diet and exercise plan will also be implemented during the anticipated time on study treatment of 52 weeks. The target sample size is 200-400 patients.

The purpose of this study is to obtain information on efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin in Japanese patients with Type 2 Diabetes. This will be done by comparing the effect of dapagliflozin to placebo when given in oral doses.

This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and glucose lowering activity of MK-8245 in participants with type 2 diabetes. The primary hypothesis of the study is that after 4 weeks of treatment, MK-8245 produces a greater reduction in 24 hour weighted mean glucose (WMG) from baseline than placebo.

The purpose of Part A of this study is to test whether repeated doses of the study drug (GSK1614235) are safe and well tolerated (i.e. do not produce unacceptable side effects) and whether we can obtain some preliminary information as to whether it works in lowering blood glucose levels. We will do this by comparing the effect of the study drug with placebo (no drug present) and against a drug (sitagliptin) known to control blood glucose in the treatment of diabetes. The purpose of Part B of this study is to determine the how the timing of dosing, relative to meals, affects the response to study drug.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acarbose in comparison with voglibose in type 2 diabetic patients whose blood glucose levels were inadequately controlled with insulin glargine alone or in combination with metformin.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MP-513 in combination with Metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes for 24 weeks administration and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MP-513 in combination with Metformin with an extension treatment for up to 52 weeks.

The main goal of this study is to look at the way gums heal around dental implants placed in healthy patients compared to patients with type 2 diabetes. This study is designed to answer the following questions: How much swelling occurs around dental implants placed in patients with type 2 diabetes? Is swelling (inflammation) present or absent in the initial healing phase after placement of dental implants? What are the differences in the amount of swelling (inflammation) in patients with and without type 2 diabetes? Are patients with type 2 diabetes more likely to have bone loss around dental implants?
