Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

A study to compare the pharmacokinetics and safety/tolerability between CKD-379 tablet and D759, D745, D150 combination

The aim of the study is to evaluate the benefits, documented in experimental settings, of treatment with SGLT2-i in subjects with type 2 diabetes and older than 70 years in normal clinical practice. The type of study does not involve immediate risks or direct benefits for the subjects taking part in it. The potential benefits for clinicians and healthcare systems are: greater knowledge of diabetic disease and the study of new treatment options. However, the analysis of the data will allow us to better identify which patients benefit most from treatment with glycosurics.

Postprandial lipemia is highly prevalent in type 2 diabetes subjects even with normal fasting triglyceride values. Humans are mostly in a postprandial rather than in a fasting state and therefore non-fasting triglyceride values reflect more accurately the continuous exposure of arterial wall to the substantial cholesterol load from remnant particles. Evolocumab lowers blood LDL-cholesterol. This study evaluates the effect of evolocumab on postprandial lipid metabolism in type 2 diabetes. All participants in this study receive evolocumab treatment.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of linagliptin compared to placebo when added on to insulin therapy alone or in combination with metformin in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with insufficient glycaemic control

SGLT2 antagonists and GLP1 agonists are used since a relatively short period as second line therapy if indicated and are well tolerated by patients featuring low risk of hypoglycaemia in comparison to insulin or other oral glucose lowering drug. This new treatment options offer an effective modality to lower blood glucose, if first line therapeutics fail. According to national and international guidelines combination of oral glucose lowering drugs is possible in multiple ways, but is currently not recommended for GLP1 agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors yet, as evidence and supporting studies are missing proving efficacy and safety]. Thus studies under standardized conditions are urgently needed to answer these unsolved questions. First results of a combination of a SGLT2 Inhibitor and a GLP1 agonist demonstrated huge potential regarding glucose and weight reduction and safety issues. However, further studies are necessary to elucidate potential mechanisms of combination therapy with SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 agonists and its effect on weight loss, glucose control, effects on incretins and adipokines, as well as further effects on ectopic lipid accumulation in liver and other tissues as myocard or pancreas in humans. As both monotherapies have effects on weight and metabolism, changes in abdominal, subcutaneous, hepatic, myocardial or pancreatic lipid content might be speculated and are focus of interest in this study. Recently GLP1 agonists were shown to have effects on hepatic lipid reduction in humans with diabetes. Hepatic lipid content and steatosis hepatis are widely discussed to have major effects on progression of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Thus reduction of lipid accumulation in hepatic tissue might have an effect on diabetes progression. Also higher myocardial lipid accumulation is seen in diabetic patients probably partly responsible for higher cardiovascular risk in diabetics. So far results combining these two drug classes show less weight loss as might have been expected using monotherapy, so that further investigation will definitely shed light on combination of therapeutic concepts. Facing a multiple of positive side effects (weight loss, blood pressure lowering, potential protective cardiac effects) using a combination of SGLT2 and GLP1 seems to be a promising therapeutic option in diabetic subjects.

This study assessed the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of bimagrumab when administered in overweight and obese patients with type 2 diabetes

The focus of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of a customized, combined positive psychology and motivational interviewing (PP-MI) health behavior intervention in a group of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Primary Objective: To compare the safety, in terms of percentage of patients with symptomatic documented hypoglycemia during Ramadan fast, of lixisenatide versus sulfonylurea (SU). Secondary Objectives: To assess effect of lixisenatide versus SU on: Changes in glycemic control; Changes in body weight. To assess overall safety of lixisenatide and SU.

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is common in people with type 2 diabetes (70%) and is the strongest independent risk factor for cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality that there is. It is worse than triple vessel coronary disease. LVH often occurs in patients with "normal" blood pressures (BP). Apart from BP, the other three main factors causing LVH are insulin resistance, obesity and cardiac preload. Dapagliflozin reduces ALL four factors known to promote LVH i.e. Dapagliflozin reduces weight, glycaemia, preload and blood pressure and is therefore the ideal agent to reduce LVH since it uniquely attacks all four known mediators of LVH. This trial will investigate the ability of dapagliflozin to regress LVH in 64 participants with normotensive diabetes. This will be done by seeing if dapagliflozin reduces left ventricular mass as measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This trial may identify a novel way to reduce the strong independent risk factor of LVH which often persists despite optimum medical therapy in patients with diabetes. If dapagliflozin does reduce LVH, this would be a key sign of which subgroup of patients with diabetes (those with LVH) should be especially targeted with dapagliflozin. 64 participants with type 2 diabetes and LVH will be recruited through the Scottish Diabetes Research Network (SDRN), Scottish Primary Care Research Network (SPCRN) and other routes, in this single centre study. Participants will be randomised to receive either 10mg dapagliflozin or placebo daily for 12 months. Cardiac MRI will be performed at baseline and at 12 months, this will be assessed for the primary outcome of change in left ventricular mass. Secondary outcomes will examine change in 24 hour blood pressure and weight.
