Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a lifestyle intervention program on type 2 diabetes risk factors and quality of life in overweight Latino youth.
Primary objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple ascending doses of PB1023 administered as a subcutaneous (SC) injection in adult subjects with T2DM. Secondary objectives: 1. To characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of PB1023 after single and multiple ascending doses of PB1023. 2. To assess the pharmacodynamic response of various single and multiple doses of PB1023 (daily fasting plasma glucose, and serial glucose, c-peptide and insulin levels in response to a liquid Mixed Meal Tolerance Test (MMTT).
High doses of gabapentin are associated with pancreatic acinar cell tumors in rats, but there has been no post marketing pancreatic carcinogenicity signal with gabapentin as reported by spontaneous reports in AERS or in the published literature. In a published case-control screening study of the association of gabapentin with 55 cancers, the only cancer that met the screening criteria for possibly increased cancer risk with gabapentin exposure was renal (including renal pelvis) cancer. This association was judged to be likely due to or substantially accentuated by confounding by cigarette smoking, hypertension, and lifestyle (Cancer Causes Control 2009;20:1821-1835). The relationship between gabapentin exposure and pancreatic cancer and renal cancer is studied in NCT01138124, and supplemental analyses for these cancers are performed in the current study. The FDA recommended GSK also study the relationship between gabapentin and all-cancer sites, as well as cancer at the following specific sites: 1) stomach, 2) anus, anal canal, and anorectum, 3) lung and bronchus, 4) bones and joints, 5) breast, 6) penis, 7) urinary bladder, and 8) other nervous system. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether exposure to gabapentin is associated with an increased risk of developing all-cancer, and these specific cancers in the United Kingdom (UK) General Practice Research Database (GPRD). Each member of the UK population is registered with a General Practice, which centralizes the medical information not only from the general practitioners themselves but also from specialist referrals and hospital attendances. Over 487 General Practices contribute data to the GPRD. The study cohort from which cases and controls are drawn is all subjects in the GPRD 1993-2008. Gabapentin was approved in the UK in May 1993. Entry into the study cohort begins Jan 1, 1993 for all those who are registered in GPRD before that time, and at the time of registration if later than Jan 1, 1993. Subjects are excluded from the GPRD cohort if they have a cancer diagnosis or a history of cancer prior to the cohort entry date. Patients with a first diagnosis of the respective cancer 1995-2008 are risk set matched with up to 10 controls within the same General Practice for age at cohort entry (within two years), sex, and year of entry into the study cohort (within one year). For cases, the index date is the date of first diagnosis of the respective cancer. The index date for controls is set as the date at which the follow-up time from cohort entry is the same as the case. The index date is chosen so as to give the control equal follow-up time to that of the case for ascertainment of use of gabapentin. Cases and controls will be required to have at least 2 years of follow-up in the study cohort before their index date. Cases must have no history of any other cancer diagnosis prior to the index date. Controls are required to be free of cancer diagnosis in the database up to the control's index date. Data on gabapentin prescriptions are obtained for cases and controls from study cohort entry to the index date. Gabapentin exposure will be assessed as ever/never, number of prescriptions, cumulative dose, and cumulative duration, with a 2 year lag period incorporated to control for protopathic bias (gabapentin prescription for initial pain symptoms of undiagnosed cancer) and latency (time between cancer onset and specific GPRD cancer diagnosis). Crude and adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CI) will be produced from conditional logistic regression models, with additional analyses evaluating for dose-response. Covariates include indications for gabapentin use and risk factors for each cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate risk of cancer incidence and mortality associated with the use of REGRANEX (becaplermin) in patients with diabetes who are members of a U.S. Veterans Health Administration.
The primary objective of this study is to test for bioequivalence of VIAject®7 and VIAject®25 and to compare the pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic/tolerability characteristics of VIAject®7 with those of VIAject®25 and insulin lispro.
A Multicentre study comparing 5 different Self-Monitoring Of Blood Glucose (SMBG) system commercially available in Germany & Holland.
Primary Objective: To evaluate the effect of prandial treatment adjustment, based on continuous blood glucose monitoring, on glucose control in type 2 diabetes patients who are not controlled by treatment with once daily basal insulin or mixed insulin, requiring treatment with basal plus regimen
The purpose of this study is to assess whether 4-months of interval-walking exercise training improves glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The effects of interval-walking training will be compared to continuous-walking exercise in a randomised, controlled trial design. Changes in glycemic control will be examined using oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) with stable isotope methodology. In addition, insulin sensitivity and secretion will be examined using glucose clamps combined with glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP).
The trial will test whether the Alive email-delivered health behavior program can improve subjects' physical activity, fruits and vegetables and saturated/trans fats and added sugars.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an important risk factor in the development of cardiovascular disease, and people with type 2 diabetes have a two- to four-fold increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Physical activity is a well established therapeutic modality for type 2 diabetes. In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), several clinical trials have shown reduced mortality and reduced progression of atherosclerosis with lifestyle intervention including physical activity. But few studies have investigated the effect of physical training in patients suffering from both diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of one year of organized physical exercise in patients with both coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes on glucometabolic state and progression of atherosclerosis. The project is a randomized, controlled, open study on physical exercise. 136 patients will be randomized at inclusion to a physical exercise group or a control group, the latter with "normal" follow-up and not discouraged form physical activity. The intervention period will be 12 months, and the physical training program will be developed and conducted in collaboration with Norwegian School of Sport Sciences. The inclusion of patients started summer 2010, the exercise program begins in September 2010 and the practical issues of the study is planned to end during spring 2012. The main hypothesis is that physical exercise improves the glucometabolic state and reduces progression of atherosclerosis in patients with coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and secondary that physical exercise induces favourable changes in cardiovascular risk factors, use of medication, and co-morbidity associated with diabetes.
