Filter by:This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of RO6807952 in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 inadequately controlled with metformin alone. Patients will be randomized to receive doses of RO6807952, placebo, or liraglutide. The anticipated time on study treatment is 12 weeks.
The investigators are very excited that the National Institutes of Health are sponsoring us to investigate why patients with diabetes are more likely to develop high blood pressure, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), and heart disease. There are two parts of our research program. The first part is a screening visit. At this visit you will be given a brief physical exam and will be asked questions concerning your medical history. During the same visit you will have your blood drawn for routine screening and to prepare DNA for genetic testing. You will also be asked to collect a urine sample for routine screening. If the doctor finds that you are a healthy candidate you will be invited to participate in the second part of the study. During Phase II the investigators will perform physiologic tests after you are placed on a low salt diet and again after you are placed on a high salt diet. All of the food that you will eat during the two diets will be provided to you by the hospital. If you are on blood pressure medication, it may be necessary to discontinue taking your present medication for up to three months before beginning the study. Patients discontinuing their current blood pressure medication may be placed on a different blood pressure medication during this washout period if necessary to maintain blood pressure at pre-study levels. The investigators will take you off all medications, except cholesterol medications two weeks prior to your scheduled in-patient study. However, if you are currently on medication to control your diabetes you will remain on this throughout the entire study. Once your blood pressure medications are discontinued, you will be closely monitored to make sure you do not encounter any difficulty. If you do not own a home blood pressure monitor, the investigators will provide one for to use during the study so that you can keep a daily record of your blood pressure readings. The investigators will ask you to call us every three days to report your blood pressure readings. Less than 20% of patients with hypertension have any significant increase in their blood pressure during this short time off therapy. After you have been off your medication for nine days the dieticians will give you low salt meals to eat at home for six days. On the sixth day of the low salt diet, you will be asked to begin a 24-hour urine collection. You will also be required to come to the Ambulatory Clinical Center (221 Longwood Ave.) for a one-hour test. You will return that evening to the inpatient Clinical Research Center where you will be admitted for your first study that will occur the next morning. On the morning of your low salt study you will have three naturally occurring hormones administered and blood samples drawn from an intravenous needle. The investigators will also take ultrasound pictures of your heart to see how salt and hormones affect the way the heart functions. These tests will last approximately five hours and you will be discharged around 12:00 p.m. The dieticians will then give you your meals for the next week to take home. Each of these meals will have a high salt content. After six days of your high salt diet, on the morning of your second admission to the hospital, you will be asked to begin a final 24-hour urine collection. The same study that was done for the low salt study will be repeated for the high salt study. You will be discharged around 3:00 p.m. This study will determine if you are salt-sensitive. A high salt diet has been found to lead to higher blood pressure and weight gain. In addition, the investigators hope to learn more about the hormones that regulate your blood pressure and the genes responsible for regulating those hormones. You will be placed back on your initial blood pressure medication (if you are on any) and returned to your regular physician for care. The investigators will provide clinically relevant information to you and your physician.
Psychological Impact, Metabolic Control, and Biological Stress Markers in Diabetes: Intervention Study With Affect School and Basal Body Awareness Background: Depression is common in patients with diabetes and is associated with impaired metabolic control. Alexithymia has been associated with depression, anxiety, stress related disorders and diabetes mellitus. Affect School (AS) is an intervention that may reduce depression and alexithymia according to previous research. Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBA) is a stress-reducing technique. Purpose: Our aim is to: 1. Analyze the prevalence of depression and anxiety and the personality variables alexithymia and self image in diabetes patients. 2. Explore correlations between these variables and risk factors, including biochemical markers for diabetic complications. 3. To evaluate an intervention with AS and BBA in patients with diabetes that scored high in psychometric self-report tests and at the same time showed impaired metabolic control. Method: A randomized controlled trial of 350 people with diabetes, 18-59 years, 56% men, 44% women. Base-line study: from medical records and the National Diabetes Registry - waist circumference, BMI, blood pressure, type and duration of diabetes, diabetes complications, other diseases, medications, exercise habits and smoking. Tests - A1c, blood lipids, cytokines, hormones, beta-cell antibodies, c-peptide, midnight cortisol (salivary). Self-report tests of psychological and personality variables: HAD, TAS-20, SASB. Intervention: patients with A1c ≥ 8 and anxiety (HAD ≥ 8), depression (HAD ≥ 8), negative self-image (SASB: AFF <284) or alexithymia (TAS-20 ≥ 61) were randomized to AS or BBA. AS: 8 group sessions followed by 10 individual sessions. Instructors were a primary care physician and a psychotherapist. BBA: 9 group meetings and 6 individual sessions with a physiotherapist as instructor. Post intervention: Self report tests, A1c, cytokines, hormones, cortisol.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antihypertensive and antiglycemic effects, as well as the safety and tolerability of TAK-491 (azilsartan medoxomil), once daily (QD), in stage 1 hypertensive, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) participants whose glycemic control was inadequate on metformin alone.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether AMG 876 is safe and well tolerated in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
This trial is conducted in Asia. The aim of this trial is to compare efficacy and safety of insulin detemir plus insulin aspart and NPH insulin plus human soluble insulin both in a basal bolus regimen with or without metformin in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes. The trial adopts a group sequential design, where the analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint will be performed at the interim analysis, in addition to the final formal analysis. The decision to continue or stop the trial will be based on the result of the interim analysis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether metformin is an effective adjunctive treatment for transient hyperglycemia in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) undergoing induction chemotherapy
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of TAK-875, once daily (QD), plus metformin compared to glimepiride plus metformin in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of TAK-875, once daily (QD), plus metformin compared to glimepiride plus metformin in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the pharmacodynamic (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) properties of NN1250 (insulin degludec) in Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the rosiglitazone/glimepiride fixed-dose combination tablet will safely and effectively control glycemia as first-line oral therapy in drug naïve subjects with type 2 diabetes. This 24-week study will compare the effects of treatment with rosiglitazone/glimepiride to treatment with glimepiride alone. The primary objective is to demonstrate superiority of rosiglitazone/glimepiride to glimepiride in lowering Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c).
