Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Primary: Effect on HbA1c over 6 months in drug-naive patients with type 2 diabetes Secondary: Effect on glucose, insulin, C-peptide, insulin resistance, body weight, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure - Safety, tolerability

The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if BMS-512148 is effective in controlling blood sugar levels as determined by HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose in patients who have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Patients should first try to control their diabetes with diet and exercise and should not have previously been treated for their diabetes (very short periods of time are acceptable). The safety of BMS512148 will also be studied

Given the high prevalence of type 2 diabetes and the 2- to 4-fold increased risk of fatal and non-fatal coronary heart disease events in these patients, long-term glycemic control is of great importance. TZDs improves glycemic control in patients with type 2 DM as well as enhances their insulin-mediated glucose disposal. However, the improvement of glycemic control seen with TZDs may be blunted in the long run by weight gain. Previous data on weight gain during TZD therapy in patients with type 2 DM is very sparse. It is generally assumed that an increase in adipocyte differentiation is the cause of weight gain in association with TZD treatment which may limit their use. Increased body weight assumed to compromise the positive effects of treatment. There is also a theoretical concern that, with the development of new adipocytes, future weight loss may be difficult. However, if weight gain is primarily due to failure to adjust caloric intake in proportion to the decrease in urinary glucose loss, it is totally preventable. It has been previously shown that improvement of glycemia favored weight gain by decreasing the energy loss in the urine as glucose. Severity of weight gain appears to be proportional to the level of glycemic control achieved. The overall goal of the proposed research is to provide the experimental evidence for the later alternative by showing that the modest weight gain that takes place in association with effective rosiglitazone treatment of hyperglycemic patients with type 2 DM is primarily due to its therapeutic efficacy. More specifically, by decreasing the caloric intake in proportion to a decrease in urinary glucose loss associated with improved glycemic control, we will be able to prevent significant weight gain following Rosiglitazone treatment. In order to provide an optimal dietary modification that can be universally applied to TZD-treated patients in clinical practice, we will have a group with a fixed amount of caloric restriction per day. It will be the first randomized controlled trial of a potential strategy for prevention of weight gain associated with thiazolidinediones.

The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of pioglitazone, once daily (QD), compared to glimepiride on atherosclerotic disease measured by intravascular ultrasound.

This trial is conducted in Asia. This is a clinical trial investigating the effectiveness of using Biphasic Insulin Aspart 70/30 in two different treatment regiments for 6 months in subjects with type 2 diabetes, not well controlled on their current oral anti-diabetic drug therapy.

This trial is conducted in Europe. The trial is designed to show the effect of treatment with liraglutide or placebo on blood glucose control after 14 weeks in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Liraglutide or placebo is administered by injection once daily in the evening. The trial is a multi-national trial with treatment concealed to participating subjects, investigators and the sponsor. Treatment allocation is random with equal chance of being assigned to each group.

This is a single center, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, two-period, cross-over study to evaluate the effect of pramlintide on satiety and food intake in normal-weight and obese non-diabetic subjects and in insulin-treated subjects with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

This is a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study to examine the effect of pramlintide on the pharmacokinetics of an orally administered medication

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The purpose of this study is to test whether biphasic insulin aspart 70/30 is a safe and at least as effective alternative in combination with two oral anti-diabetics compared to the two oral anti-diabetics alone for the control of blood glucose.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
