Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Many people with type 2 diabetes cannot maintain target blood glucose levels when taking a single oral drug. This is a 28-week extension to a study to assess the safety and effectiveness of vildagliptin, an unapproved drug, in lowering overall blood glucose levels when added to pioglitazone in people with type 2 diabetes not at target blood glucose levels on pioglitazone or rosiglitazone alone. The purpose of the extension study is to gather data on the long-term safety and effectiveness of vildagliptin in people with type 2 diabetes.

This study is not being conducted in the United States. This is a 52-week extension to a study to assess the safety and effectiveness of two doses of vildagliptin, an unapproved drug, in lowering overall blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes who had not previously been treated with drug therapy to lower their blood sugar and whose blood sugar levels were in a specified range. The purpose of the extension study is to gather data on the long term safety and effectiveness of vildagliptin in people with type 2 diabetes.

This study is to investigate how well Androgel, when tested against placebo gel, helps to control blood sugar levels in males with type 2 diabetes who have low testosterone (the main male hormone) blood levels and are taking oral diabetic medicines alone or in combination with insulin.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a 28-day regimen of exenatide (AC2993), given as a monotherapy to subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn whether Saxagliptin added to Metformin therapy is more effective than Metformin alone as a treatment for type 2 diabetic subjects who are not sufficiently controlled with Metformin alone

The primary objective of this study is: To investigate whether insulin aspart with meals is better than a standard treatment with insulin NPH at bedtime, evaluated by HbA1c. The secondary objectives of this study are: To study if a combination treatment with metformin and/or rosiglitazone and insulin aspart with meals is better than a standard treatment with insulin NPH combined with one or more of the above oral antidiabetic drugs. According to the hypothesis, special focus will be given to the treatment group with insulin aspart combined with metformin and rosiglitazone. The treatment effect will be evaluated by HbA1c. To examine the effects of the treatments on glucose metabolism and beta cell function, evaluated by diurnal blood glucose, fasting plasma glucose, insulin, C-peptide, and lactate. To examine the effects of the treatments on cardiovascular risk factors evaluated by serum lipid profiles, serum free fatty acids, urine albumin/creatinine ratio, and electrocardiogram (ECG). To quantify and describe the patients' subjective experiences of the two different insulin treatments (quality of life assessment) To examine patients with type 2 diabetes for the presence of variability in a series of genes, which are known to or are assumed to: affect the long term outcome; determine the responsiveness to treatment with diet, exercise and drugs targeting the known risk markers for late diabetic complications; and after intervention, to analyse the complex interrelationships between genotypes and clinical endpoints and the responsiveness to actual treatment modalities.

This study was designed to test the safety and efficacy (how well it works) of AVANDAMET in combination with insulin in improving the control of blood sugar when compared with taking insulin on its own. AVANDAMET capsules contain a fixed dose of AVANDIA and metformin. Both AVANDIA and metformin are medicines which are individually licensed for the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus. Because they act in different ways, it is thought that combining them may give an increased benefit of treating diabetes and reducing blood sugar.

This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PN2034 administered to type 2 diabetics on concomitant rosiglitazone and metformin (or Avandamet) therapy as measured by change in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels from baseline to Week 12. Also the study will evaluate the effect of PN2034 on glucose control as measured by fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and on fasting lipid levels: triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoproteins (HDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL).

Evaluation of the effect of two different antihypertensive treatments on control of glucose in Type II diabetic patients with high blood pressure

Rationale: The aim of the study was to compare the glycemic and insulinemic response of malnourished patients with type 2 diabetes after oral feed between a diabetic oral nutritional supplements (ONS) and a standard one. Methods: Randomized, double-blind, crossover, multicenter clinical trial, conducted in patients with type 2 diabetes and a diagnosis of malnutrition (SGA). Patients were randomized to receive two ONS: diabetic (Bi1 diacare hp/hc) or control (standard, isocaloric and isoproteic), a week apart. A glycemia and insulinemia curve was made at times: 0', 30', 60', 90', 120', and 180', after drank 200 ml of the ONS. The analyzed variables were the area under the curve (AUC 0-t) of glucosa and insulin, and the maximum concentration of glucose (Cmax).
