Filter by:This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of two different formulations of insulin degludec (IDeg) in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to identify, prior to prescribing, which neuropathic pain patients will benefit from duloxetine more specific the investigators aims are to: - Verify whether presence of chronic pain alters the pain modulation mechanisms, such as DNIC (diffuse noxious inhibitory control) and TS (temporal summation). - Investigate whether anti-neuropathic medications such as duloxetine indeed change the pain modulation profile, and whether this profile change is associated with a reduction of clinical pain.
High blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia) in cardiac surgery patients with diabetes are associated with increased risk of hospital complications. Blood sugar control with intravenous insulin may prevent such hospital complications. Many patients undergoing cardiac bypass surgery (CABG) develop high blood sugars and require insulin therapy (shortly before or after surgery). It is not clear what the best insulin regimen is or what is the best blood sugar target in these patients. Accordingly, this research study aims to determine optimal blood glucose levels during the in patients undergoing cardiac bypass surgery. Patients will be divided in two groups. The intensive insulin group will be maintained at blood glucose between 100-140 mg/dl and the conventional treatment group at a glucose level between 140-180 mg/dl. The insulins to be used in this trial (lantus, aspart and regular insulin) are approved for use in the treatment of patients with diabetes by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). A total of 326 patients with high blood glucose after cardiac bypass surgery will be recruited in this study. Patients will be recruited at Emory University Hospital, Emory Midtown Hospital and Grady Memorial Hospital.
This will be the first study in which LY2881835 is given to humans in order to evaluate the safety and any side effects of LY2881835 in humans as well as how long LY2881835 stays in the body and its effect on blood sugar levels. The study consists of two parts. In part A, healthy subjects will participate and in part B, patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) will participate.
This randomized, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of RO6807952. Patients will receive multiple weekly subcutaneous doses of RO6870952. The anticipated time on study treatment is 8 weeks.
The aim of this trial is to demonstrate bioequivalence of Wosulin 70/30 to Novolin® 70/30 with regard to its total and to its maximum serum insulin concentrations.
The first part of the study includes a single dose treatment period to evaluate the pharmacokinetic bioequivalence of a subcutaneous injection of albiglutide from process 2 drug substance compared with process 3 drug substance. The second part of the treatment period will evaluate additional pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters and safety and tolerability of repeat doses of albiglutide given weekly for 12 weeks from process 2 drug substance compared with process 3 drug substance. Subjects with type 2 diabetes whose glycemia is inadequately controlled on their current regimen of diet and exercise or stable dose of metformin will be recruited into the study.
Metformin is a biguanide that is marketed as an oral anti-diabetic drug. Metformin treatment in concert with diet and exercise is the consensus first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and therefore it will likely be an adjunct therapy for all assets in development by GSK for the treatment of T2DM. Metformin has potent effects in lowering circulating glucose concentrations, and it is believed to have additional benefits in improving macrovascular outcomes, fatty liver disease and polycystic ovarian syndrome. Its use in a significant proportion of T2DM subjects is limited by contraindications of heart failure and renal insufficiency or gastrointestinal side effects. The mechanisms underlying its glucose-lowering effect and adverse event profile of metformin are not well understood. Whilst activation of AMP kinase may be important for therapeutic effect, changes in incretin secretion and bile acid excretion have been described, but not consistently linked to its therapeutic effect or AE profile. The aim of this study is to recruit T2DM patients on prescribed metformin monotherapy to further investigate how the glucose effects are related to the alterations in bile acid absorption, incretin and lipid profiles by studying these parameters on and off the drug. This will be done in combination with frequent capillary blood glucose monitoring to ensure patient safety. This study will facilitate the development of a pharmacodynamic model that can be used by clinical teams developing non-absorbable NCEs such as iBAT inhibitors.
This trial is conducted in Asia. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical safety profile during 26 weeks of NovoNorm® (repaglinide) and insulin analogue combination therapy in type 2 diabetes under normal clinical practice conditions in Korea while the secondary objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy after 13 and 26 weeks of NovoNorm® and insulin analogue combination therapy in type 2 diabetes under normal clinical practice conditions in Korea.
The prevalence of preterm birth is rising in most western countries. The causes of preterm birth is not fully understood and seem to be multifactorial. The endocrine and metabolic aspects are scarcely investigated.The main purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that endocrine and metabolic factors associate to preterm births.
