Filter by:This trial is conducted in Europe and North America. The aim of this trial is to investigate if liraglutide treatment can increase the proportion of insulin-independent subjects one year after islet cell transplantation who required only one (single-donor) islet cell transplant.
Prevention of complications in veterans with diabetes depends heavily on assessment of blood glucose and HbA1c. The HbA1c is a blood test that measures the exposure of hemoglobin (Hb) to a person's average blood glucose over the lifespan of a red blood cell (RBC). The test is heavily relied upon as a measure of blood glucose control. It is normally assumed that all people (those with and without diabetes) have a narrow range of red blood cell survival. It has been recently shown that this is not a valid assumption. A more precise test of red blood cell survival, using a biotin label method, demonstrated a substantial difference of red blood cell survival among otherwise normal people. There is sufficient difference in red blood cell survival to alter the estimate of glycemic control from the HbA1c test by as much as 30 per cent. This introduces concern that HbA1c values do not mean the same thing in a significant number of people. Although the evidence is clear that there is variation in RBC survival among people, attributing this variation to differences between individuals depends on answering several simple questions which surprisingly remain unanswered: whether RBC survival is stable over time within an individual and whether blood glucose control affects its stability. Therefore, the goal of the proposed studies is to define these characteristics.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of multiple escalating oral doses of PF-05161704 in healthy volunteers
The drug Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT, Aralast NP) is being tested in this study as an anti-inflammatory drug (a medication that decreases inflammation, which is part of the body's normal ability to fight infection and respond to injuries) that affects the cells thought to be involved in the development of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM, T1D). All subjects enrolled in this study have new-onset T1DM (diagnosis of T1DM within 100 days of Visit 0; T1DM diagnosis fulfilling American Diabetes Association standard T1DM criteria). The focus of Part I of this trial (NCT01183468) is pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and safety. Upon completion of Part I, including a satisfactory safety review, enrollment in Part II (NCT01183455, Phase II Clinical Trial) will begin.
This protocol is designed to gather a small amount of blood for extraction of DNA for the study of the genetic basis of diabetes. The study population will include individuals with known diabetes, and controls without diabetes. Investigators aim to understand the genetics of diabetes, and will use the cells and serum from this blood to perform genotyping and gene expression studies of individuals with diabetes and relevant controls.
Vitamin D status has been negatively associated with the presence of type II DM and glycemic control. However, a cause-effect relationship between vitamin D deficiency and glycemic control has not been established. The investigators plan to conduct a double blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial on the effect of vitamin D supplementation on glycemic control in Type II DM.
The purpose of this study is to study impairment of white blood cell function in patients with type II diabetes.
The purposes of this study are to test whether GAD vaccination can stop the progression of newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, to describe the related immunological processes (insulitis) in pancreas and small intestines evolving the mechanism of the effect of GAD vaccination and finally try to detect viruses and virus receptors directly in the insulin producing beta cells of the pancreas in patients with newly diagnosed type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1D).
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of pioglitazone-azilsartan, once daily (QD), in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
- After determining if subjects meet the criteria to be included in the study they will be randomly placed in either Group 1 or 2 and patient will be blinded from randomization group. - Subjects will walk across a pressure plate to determine different areas of high pressure under the foot. This will be done before the INTEGRA application and at every other follow-up visit. - Both groups will be debrided and have pictures taken in the OR - Group 1 will have Integra Flowable Wound Matrix applied onto the wound in the OR and Group 2 will have the Integra Flowable Wound Matrix applied onto the wound and injected subcutaneously in the OR. - Subjects will be placed in a total contact cast at each visit. If wound healing occurs prior to 12 weeks, a final assessment visit will be done and the status of the healed ulcer will be assessed.
