Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AVANDIA (rosiglitazone) (8mg once daily) in African American and Hispanic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. As microvascular and macrovascular disease are significant contributors to diabetes morbidity and mortality and previous studies suggest that the thiazolidinedione compounds could have potentially beneficial vascular effects, the effects of rosiglitazone therapy on serum parameters associated with endothelial dysfunction, vascular inflammation and impaired fibrinolysis were examined in this study. Improvement in these parameters suggests that rosiglitazone may provide an additional beneficial vascular effect, apart from its ability to improve glycemic control.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of five ISIS 113715 intravenous dose cohorts in drug-naïve type 2 diabetics.

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that in patients with type 2 diabetes, the addition of exenatide will result in lower time-averaged serum glucose during a 24-hour period, compared with placebo.

The purpose of this study is to investigate (1) the effect of topiramate on insulin sensitivity in overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and (2) the safety of topiramate in type 2 diabetic patients. The study will also investigate the effect of topiramate on body weight, body fat, fat distribution, and metabolic control including both glucose and lipid levels.

This study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of increasing doses of GK Activator (2) in patients with type 2 diabetes whose condition has not been optimally controlled with one previous oral antihyperglycemic agent. After a 2 week washout from their previous antidiabetic therapy, patients will receive GK Activator (2) orally, twice a day for 12 weeks, at increasing doses of 25mg bid to 200mg bid; doses will be titrated to achieve a target fasting glucose level (FPG) of <100mg/dL. The anticipated time on study treatment is <3 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

To evaluate the efficacy of a single injection of glulisine before the main meal added to insulin glargine plus oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) compared to insulin glargine plus OADs in Type 2 diabetic patients poorly controlled with basal insulin plus OADs.

This study is designed to test whether WelChol (colesevelam HC1) improves blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes by making their own insulin work more efficiently.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of MK-0431/ONO-5435 in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus who have inadequate glycemic control on diet/exercise therapy and metformin as monotherapy

This study compares the effects of Avandamet (rosiglitazone maleate/metformin) treatment and metformin plus sulphonylurea treatment in overweight people with type 2 diabetes.

This study will look at the impact of health insurance benefits on self management of diabetes for people with this condition. Studies have shown that when people with diabetes manage their disease better, they stay healthier. Our goal in this study is to help those with diabetes better manage their disease (self-care). We will compare two types of health insurance benefits in this study. We want to see if one set of benefits improves self-care more than the other one.
