Filter by:This trial is conducted in Japan. The aim of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of NN5401 (insulin degludec/insulin aspart) with insulin glargine in subjects with type 2 diabetes in Japan. Depending on pre-trial oral anti-diabetic drugs (OADs), subjects continued at the same dose and dosing frequency.
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that affects the uptake of glucose into cells. This causes a cascade of systemic alterations that may lead to kidney failure, cardiovascular complications, altered tissue healing, retinopathies and gangrene. Diabetes is also associated to increased susceptibility to infections and inflammation. It has been observed that diabetic patients suffer more often from oral infections such as periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is an infectious-inflammatory disease that leads to destruction of the surrounding tissues of the tooth. It is proposed that the mechanisms responsible for systemic complication are implicated in the development of periodontal disease. This has been evaluated in studies where diabetic patients showed increased levels of inflammatory cytokines, subgingival bacteria and limited response to treatment. Its has also been suggested that established periodontitis in the diabetic patient leads to insulin resistance due to infection and liberation of cytokines from periodontal tissues and thus worsening the diabetic condition. This study is aimed to establish the response to periodontal treatment with antibiotics and the kinetics of glucose levels in diabetic patients.
Bariatric operations such as the gastric bypass procedure provide a unique in vivo model of improvement of pathological beta cell function. The presented double-centre study aims to comprehensively investigate different aspects of beta cell function in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) with a wide range of disease duration after gastric bypass. In parallel, our project will address the aspects of changes in enteroinsular and adipoinsular axes as well as the early and late changes of other defined parameters after gastric bypass surgery.
This trial is conducted in Japan. The aim of the trial is to compare pharmacokinetics (at which rate the body eliminates the substance from the body) of insulin aspart with fast-acting insulin human following intravenous (IV) infusion or intramuscular (IM) injection in Japanese subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of an investigational blood glucose meter with the Contour sensor strip. It was decided that this investigational monitoring system would not be part of a regulatory submission and it will not proceed to marketed product.
Blood glucose monitoring system are tested in the alternative site to validate the accuracy of the blood glucose.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance and acceptability of an investigational blood glucose monitoring system, which includes meter and sensor strip.
Saxagliptin + Metformin XR (S+M) will be effective in stabilizing blood glucose (BG) levels in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2DM) with severe hyperglycemia (BG levels 300 to 450 mg/dl) and glucose toxicity and with no criteria for inpatient admission or occurrence of severe hypoglycemia compared to glipizide XL. The study may provide preliminary evidence to support the role of S+M as a bridging, stabilizing and safe therapy in patients with severe hyperglycemia
The user evaluation is to assess user acceptance and the quality of training materials for the MiniMed Paradigm® X54 System (X54 System) in preparation for commercial distribution of the new system.
While the incidence of acute rejection and early graft loss have improved dramatically with the advent of newer immunosuppressant medications, improvements in long-term patient and allograft survival after kidney transplantation have not been achieved. The specific drug combination that provides the best outcomes with the least amount of side effects is not known. Each kidney transplant center uses the combination of drugs that they believe is optimal. This study is about identifying whether drugs that are currently approved for use in kidney transplantation can be used in a new combination safely and with potentially fewer side effects than the drug combinations that are currently used at St. Paul's Hospital and other transplant centres.
