Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This was a randomized, double-blind, double dummy, multicenter study to assess the safety, efficacy and tolerability of the addition of RSG (rosiglitazone) to sub-maximal MET (metformin) combination relative to maximal MET monotherapy in subjects with type 2 DM (diabetes mellitus). The total duration of the study was approximately 20 months. The study consisted of a two-week washout period, a four to seven-week MET titration period, and a 24-week randomized treatment phase in which subjects, stratified by prior therapy, received either RSG + MET combination therapy or MET monotherapy.

This study will look at the relative amounts of GSK189075 that are found in samples of blood, urine, and feces of healthy male volunteers. Results of the study will be used to understand how the drug is converted in the body and how it is eliminated.

The purpose of this research study is to demonstrate a lack of effect of multiple doses of GSK189075 on the PK of an oral contraceptive pill in healthy female subjects. To estimate the effects of GSK189075 on hormonal levels and on birth control.

In men with type 2 diabetes, low testosterone levels have been associated with insulin resistance, truncal obesity and symptoms such as fatigue and erectile dysfunction. Low testosterone may impair cardiac function and increase cardiovascular risk and cause osteoporosis. The goal of this project is to assess prospectively whether, in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus and low testosterone levels, testosterone replacement improves insulin resistance, body composition, bone density, cardiac function symptoms associated with low testosterone level. The investigators will recruit 140 ambulatory men with type 2 diabetes and a low serum testosterone level (<10 nmol/L) from Austin Health Endocrine clinics, General Practise surgeries, and from the general public by direct consumer advertising via newspaper and other local media. Men will be randomised to either intramuscular testosterone undecanoate (Reandron 1000, Bayer Schering Pharma) or placebo. Men with contraindications to testosterone replacement or to intramuscular injections will be excluded from the study. All men will receive intramuscular testosterone or placebo injections at 0, 6, 18 and 30 weeks (a total of four injections). All 140 study subjects will have a clinical and laboratory assessment at baseline, 18 weeks and at study end (40 weeks). All 140 subjects will also have imaging studies at baseline and at study end (40 weeks). The study protocol is outlined in more detail below: Clinical and laboratory assessment (Baseline and repeated 18 weeks, 40 weeks) A full medical history and physical examination will be performed. Symptoms will be assessed by the following standardised questionnaires: 1) Androgen Deficiency in the Aging Male (ADAM); 2) Aging Male Symptom scale (AMS); 3) International Index of Erectile Dysfunction (IIED); 4) International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS); 5) SF-36 (all five questionnaires are attached to Module 1). Laboratory studies will consist of blood tests to measure total testosterone, fasting glucose, C-peptide, HBA1c and other routine parameters. Imaging studies (Baseline and repeated at 40 weeks) Body composition and bone mineral density by DEXA Body composition by magnetic resonance imaging Bony micro-architecture by high resolution quantitative computed tomography [HR-pQCT]), Cardiac dimensions and function by transthoracic doppler echocardiography

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to compare two NN5401 (SIAC, insulin degludec/insulin aspart) formulations with each other and with insulin glargine, all in combination with metformin in insulin naive subjects with type 2 diabetes.

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of early combination therapy with Amaryl M with that of uptitration of metformin monotherapy in patients with type 2 DM inadequately controlled by prior monotherapy with metformin.

This trial is conducted in Europe. This is a clinical trial investigating the effectiveness and the safety of using biphasic insulin aspart 30 both for initiation and intensification of insulin treatment in type 2 diabetes.

This will be a 4-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled, safety, tolerability, and efficacy study. Patients will be screened and be on one of three doses of PHX1149 (a new drug candidate for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes ) or placebo. The drug is a "DPP4 inhibitor"

A clinical study to determine the safety, efficacy and mechanism of action of sitagliptin alone and in combination with pioglitazone, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have inadequate glycemic (blood sugar) control.

The purpose of the study is to compare how sitagliptin and glipizide lower blood glucose levels in participants with moderate or severe renal insufficiency.
