Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of allogeneic mesenchymal stem / stromal cell therapy in individuals with chronic kidney disease.

This phase 1 study will include patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus and will study their response to enteric coated aspirin at a dose of 80 mg per day for a 7-day period. The aims are to determine the feasibility of a phase 2 larger scale trial, and to characterize the prevalence of incomplete platelet inhibition after exposure to EC aspirin at doses of 80 mg once daily. Platelet function will be assessed at baseline and a day 7.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the mechanism of reduced branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) oxidation to propionyl CoA and isoleucine intake can affect TCA cycle function in obese insulin resistant T2D. We will test the hypotheses that isoleucine and valine oxidation to propionyl CoA is reduced and that week long oral administration of isoleucine in T2D subjects will increase propionyl CoA and succinyl CoA production in muscle. The secondary objectives of this study are to determine the extent to which type 2 diabetics are capable of controlling and coordinating complex patterns of force using the upper and lower limb. This line of research has functional significance as upper body coordination and fine motor control is important for many activities associated with daily living and may contribute to therapy protocols for individuals with type 2 diabetes. Functional performance via six-minute walk and balance board measurement will also be tested with and without sensory augmentation via electrical stimulation of foot. Changes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) mitochondrial respiration values will also be assessed between subject types and for diabetic after the 10-day supplementation period.

Patients newly diagnosed with T2D will be recruited and will receive sitagliptin treatment for 3 months. The gut microbiome of the participants before and after the treatment and the effectiveness of sitagliptin treatment on type 2 diabetes will be evaluated.

The rapid growth rate and unique challenges as a new immigrant group call for a better understanding of the social and health needs of the older Asian Americans (AAs) population. Overwhelming numbers of AAs, a fast-growing first-generation immigrant group, suffer from type 2 diabetes (T2D) and its consequences of poorly controlled blood glucose. For the older AAs, there are higher prevalence rates, worse diabetes control, and higher rates of complications due to limited English proficiency and health literacy. Despite the evidence concerning the effects of dietary interventions on glycemic control by well-controlled feeding studies in mainstream Americans, a lack of clinical trials of culturally tailored interventions often imposes serious barriers to translate and implement such fruitful and innovative approaches in individuals from ethnic minority communities such as AAs. The proposed study will use a randomized, controlled design with a sample of 60 AAs aged 65 years or older. Metabolomics methodologies will be incorporated into this research to provide a global picture of metabolites' responses to personalized behavioral nutrition (PBN) intervention. The study results will obtain the necessary information to conduct a meaningful community-based clinical trial to test the effectiveness of PBN in improving dietary patterns and glycemic control in older AAs.

This is a multi-center, single-blind, parallel group, randomized controlled trial to access the effect and safety of the Artificial Intelligence Assisted Insulin Titration System (iNCDSS) in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

To investigate the effect of nitrate supplementation on red blood cell function in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The study seeks to explore the cardiovascular effects of co-agonism at the glucagon and (glucagon-like peptide-1) GLP-1 receptor. Glucagon and exenatide will be intravenously infused into participants with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Overall, the aim of the study is to further the investigator's understanding on the role these endogenous substances have on normal cardiac physiology, myocardial energetics and myocardial glucose uptake through a series of PET and MRI imaging studies

The study aims to investigate the metabolic and cardiovascular effects of classical resistance training with high loads and blood-flow restricted training (BFRT) with low loads in individuals with type 2 diabetes over 12 weeks.

The goal of this R34 planning project is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a 12-week modified diabetes and hypertension self-management program using trained Health Coaches.
