Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

A Post Approval Study to Evaluate the Long-term Safety and Effectiveness of the Eversense® Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System over repeat insertion and removal cycles and to demonstrate the long-term safety of the Eversense® CGM System

Patients with type 2 diabetes have many complications in different organs. These complications are extremely frequent and severe: cardiovascular and renal disease, visual impairment, and, more recently, complications affecting bone such as fractures. Conventional methods for the evaluation of fracture risk are based on the Bone Mineral Density (BMD) or FRAX (algorithm for the prediction of osteoporotic fracture risk) are not sufficient in the context of diabetes. Several metaanalyses have shown that, paradoxically, a higher BMD in patients with type 2 diabetes compared to patients not suffering from this disease, independently of body mass index (BMI). The paradoxal increase in fracture risk, despite a high BMD has led to the hypothesis that diabetes induces a modification of the quality and not the quantity of bone. However, there is a lack of data as to bone quality in patients with type 2 diabetes as studies of bone biopsies from patients with type 2 diabetes are extremely rare. The objective of the study is to compare bone quality in patients with type 2 diabetes to that in patients who do not suffer from type 2 diabetes: evaluation of vertebral fractures by osteodensitometry, measurement of Trabecular Bone Score (TBS), and analysis of bone quality in biopsies (advanced glycation end products (AGE), contents of bone matrix and analysis of mineralization). The results will then be correlated with blood/urinary markers with the objective to determine one/several non-invasive biomarkers for bone status in diabetic patients.

The PROMIS study will focus on maternal insulin sensitivity thourghout pregnancy and postpartum in a moderate to high risk population (BMI ≥25 kg/m2) in developing adverse pregnancy outcomes. Next to the OGTT, the meal tolerance test (MTT) will be used as a tool for metabolic testing. The investigators hypothesize that (early) pregnancy assessment of maternal glucose-insulin metabolism with a MTT in a moderate to high risk group identify more mothers at risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes compared with standard OGTT testing at 24-28 weeks.

A prospective, randomized, mixed double- and single-blinded, placebo-controlled, cross-over clinical trial to test whether acute treatment with an IL-1 receptor antagonist impacts insulin secretion over time during the cephalic phase, defined as the first 10 minutes after the first sensorial contact to food, in healthy individuals in healthy humans (Group 1) and in obese patients with type 2 diabetes (Group 2).

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, repeat-dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of L47 as an add-on treatment to stable metformin therapy in patients with T2DM. Approximately 30 subjects will be randomized into the study at up to two investigational sites. The study includes a screening period of up to 28 days, with a three-day, single-blind, placebo lead-in period; a four-week, double-blind treatment period; and a one-week follow-up period. There will be 2 inpatient stays (Day -3 to 2 and 27 to 29) and daily outpatient visits during treatment period. During the follow-up period, there will be 1 outpatient visit at the end of the study. There will be 3 cohorts of 10 subjects each to be enrolled sequentially. In each cohort, subjects will be randomized in a 4:1 ratio to receive either L47 or placebo subcutaneously. Subjects will monitor fasting capillary glucose (finger sticks or self-monitoring of blood glucose, SMBG) during the lead-in, treatment, and follow-up periods.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of partial replacement of red meat with legume-based foods on gut metabolism and markers for colorectal cancer as well as markers for cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes in healthy working age men. The study participants will be stratified into two groups with different amounts of red meat in diet: 1) a diet containing 760 g of cooked and boneless red meat, supplying 25% of daily protein intake and 2) a diet supplying 20% of protein intake with legume-based foods and 5% of protein intake with red meat. The participants will get all meat and and legume-based foods from the research center; otherwise they will be asked to follow their habitual diet. Blood, urine, and stool samples will be collected at the baseline and at the end of the 6 week intervention, as well as BMI, blood pressure and body composition. Nutrient intake and food consumption will be analyzed from 4-day food records at the baseline and at the end of the intervention period.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Madalena association in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The investigators are therefore interested to explore the effects of VLCD and different bariatric surgery procedures to changes in the physical deposition of fat in organs which regulate glucose metabolism (i.e. in the liver, pancreas, muscle) in the earlier (6 weeks) and intermediate (4 months) period after bariatric surgery, where rate of weight loss at this stage are similar between the two procedures. Increased understanding of the changes in these important metabolic organs, will increase the investigators' understanding of mechanism of diabetes remission following bariatric surgery, their effects on weight loss or changes in gut hormones levels. Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) and Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are non-invasive, non-ionising techniques. MRI can be used to investigate the body's physiology and MRS can be used to investigate the body's metabolic processes, so by combining these two methods the investigators are able to investigate the process of fat reduction and diabetes remission post gastric surgery without performing any secondary invasive procedures The purpose of this project is to investigate the effects of a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) followed by two different bariatric surgical procedures, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) and Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on skeletal muscle, liver and pancreatic fat deposition, ATP flux as well as cardiac function.

The DUNDRUM Forensic Redevelopment Evaluation study (D-FOREST study) is a multi-site comprehensive evaluation of a complete National Forensic Mental Health Service. The study will have a prospective, observational, longitudinal design which will permit the evaluation of benefit over time for individual patients, groups of patients and the evaluation of the benefit in terms of service based outcomes of the redevelopment of a complete National Forensic Mental Health Service e.g. effects on waiting list times, length of stay. The study will systematically evaluate multiple domains of recovery in a complete National Forensic Service, including patients' physical health, mental health, offending behaviours and social and occupational functioning.

This study is a RCT aiming to use CBT-I as intervention, compared to usual care as control, to elucidate the effect of CBT-I on glycemic control, sleep quality, psychological outcomes, and cognitive function in Hong Kong Chinese older T2D comorbid with insomnia.
