View clinical trials related to Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2.
Filter by:Diabetes mellitus is a wide-spread disease accompanied by strongly increased morbidity and mortality due to micro- and macrovascular complications. However, in studies with patients suffering from diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM 2), early changes and impairments in large and small blood vessels as well as organ damage (e. g. to the kidneys) have been only insufficiently investigated (1). The newest substance class in oral antidiabetics, i. e. SGLT-2-inhibitors (such as empagliflozin) cause an increased renal excretion of glucose. In addition, the concurrent increased sodium excretion brings about an improvement of vascular function and thus a decrease in blood pressure. In the EMP-REG-OUTCOME study (2), the cardiovascular mortality rate was significantly lower in the empagliflozin group (3.7% versus 5.9%; 38% relative RR) compared to placebo.For another new substance class, the dipeptidylpeptidase-4-inhibitors, a number of pleiotropic effects have been described (3). In one of our recently conducted trials, we could demonstrate a positive effect of linagliptin on renal an inflammatory parameters compared to placebo (4). Thus, the combination of both substance classes with regard to positive effects on micro- and macrocirculation, even though not sufficiently proven as yet, suggests itself. The therapy with metformin and long-acting insulin (BOT), as well as a twofold oral medication is possible according to the recommendations of the "Deutsche Diabetes Gesellschaft (DDG)" and the positional paper of the "American Diabetes Association (ADA)". Accordingly, the aim of the present paper is the analysis of the effects of a combined therapy with empagliflozin plus linagliptin compared to metformin plus insulin glargine on renal and vascular changes in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The overall aim of this proposed research is to determine the safety, feasibility and efficacy (AP vs at home use of SAP) of the Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) controller in day and night closed-loop control in young children 5-8 years old with type 1 diabetes over multiple 48 hours in an out-patient setting.
This will be a single-center, randomized, open-label, active-controlled, parallel-group study to investigate the platelet inhibition of Ticagrelor versus Clopidogrel with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) as background therapy in approximate 40 patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) after recent successful elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by evaluation of the P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU) by VerifyNow P2Y12 assay at 2-4 hours after the first study drug dose on treatment day 15±2.
The aims this study is to explore the effect of a GLP-1 receptor agonist on the degree of brain activation and connectivity obtained by functional magnetic resonance imaging in lean and obese type 2 diabetes
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of non-surgical periodontal treatment on the metabolic control of type2 diabetes patients. Patients with type two diabetes mellitus patients and confirmed chronic periodontitis will be selected and randomly assign to two groups. The treatment group will receive immediate full-mouth scaling and root planing whereas the control group will be scheduled to receive periodontal treatment at the following 3-month visit. Plaque index, bleeding index, probing pocket depth, recessions and cervical attachment loss will be recorded at baseline, at six weeks and at three months. Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and C-reactive protein (CRP) will be analysed at baseline and three months following enrolment.
The aim of Patient-Centred Innovations for Persons With Multimorbidity (PACE in MM) study is to reorient the health care system from a single disease focus to a multimorbidity focus; centre on not only disease but also the patient in context; and realign the health care system from separate silos to coordinated collaborations in care. PACE in MM will propose multifaceted innovations in Chronic Disease Prevention and Management (CDPM) that will be grounded in current realities (i.e. Chronic Care Models including Self-Management Programs), that are linked to Primary Care (PC) reform efforts. The study will build on this firm foundation, will design and test promising innovations and will achieve transformation by creating structures to sustain relationships among researchers, decision-makers, practitioners, and patients. The Team will conduct inter-jurisdictional comparisons and is mainly a Quebec (QC) - Ontario (ON) collaboration with participation from 4 other provinces: British Columbia (BC); Manitoba (MB); Nova Scotia (NS); and New Brunswick (NB). The Team's objectives are: 1) to identify factors responsible for success or failure of current CDPM programs linked to the PC reform, by conducting a realist synthesis of their quantitative and qualitative evaluations; 2) to transform consenting CDPM programs identified in Objective 1, by aligning them to promising interventions on patient-centred care for multimorbidity patients, and to test these new innovations' in at least two jurisdictions and compare among jurisdictions; and 3) to foster the scaling-up of innovations informed by Objective 1 and tested/proven in Objective 2, and to conduct research on different approaches to scaling-up. This registration for Clinical Trials only pertains to Objective 2 of the study.
The main goal of this research project is to conduct a comparative effectiveness research study involving existing data in the PCORnet Common Data Model to provide accurate estimates of the 1-, 3-, and 5-year benefits and risks of the three most common bariatric procedures - Roux-en-y gastric bypass, adjustable gastric banding, and sleeve gastrectomy - with a focus on outcomes that are important to adults and adolescents with severe obesity: 1) changes in weight, 2) rates of remission and relapse of diabetes, and 3) major adverse events.
Mexican American women have significantly elevated rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes. The proposed study tests a novel intervention that capitalizes on an existing important family dyad (mothers and their adult daughters) to foster clinically significant and long-lasting health behavior change. If found to effective, this intervention strategy has great potential to address health disparities in this, and other, at-risk populations.
Peripheral glucagon action increases hepatic glucose production. In rodents hypothalamic action of glucagon paradoxically suppresses glucose production. Intranasally administered peptides have been shown to preferentially enter the central nervous system. We assessed the effects of intranasal glucagon on hepatic glucose production
This is a Phase 2, single-centre, single-arm, open-label study of the safety, tolerability, and effects on biomarkers of PBI-4050 in subjects with Alström syndrome for a treatment duration of 24 weeks. Subjects who complete the initial 24 weeks of treatment may continue treatment for an additional 36 or 48 weeks, provided the subject signs informed consent.
