Filter by:Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) is a gold standard in the surgical treatment of morbid obesity. We hypothesize that the addition of truncal vagotomy (cutting of nerves to the stomach) will produce greater weight loss and better reduction of co-morbidities (diseases caused by or aggravated by morbid obesity) than LAGB alone. 25 patients will be enrolled and outcomes compared to LAGB historical controls over a post-operative period of 24 months.
The management of diabetes in adolescence presents significant difficulties due to psychological and physiological factors. Blood glucose control deteriorates in this age group and poor management threatens long-term health. Motivational Interviewing, a psychological intervention designed to facilitate behaviour change, has recently been used with a small group of teenagers, producing improved blood glucose control. To establish the impact of this intervention and its key components, we plan to compare the outcome in several clinics over a longer period of time in a larger number of adolescents selected at random to undergo motivational interviewing or to act as a control group. If successful this approach has potential to be incorporated into the routine clinical care of adolescents with diabetes.
To conduct a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of a large randomized controlled trial (RCT) of metformin in patients with heart failure and type 2 diabetes and to generate initial morbidity and mortality estimates in this patient population. The primary hypothesis is that subjects with heart failure and type 2 diabetes who receive metformin will have a significant reduction in the combined endpoint of all-cause mortality and all-cause hospitalization as compared to subjects who receive placebo therapy.
This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA) and Canada. The aim of this research is to compare the efficacy (reduction in HbA1c and blood glucose) and pulmonary safety (pulmonary function, chest x-rays) of mealtime inhaled insulin with subcutaneous insulin aspart both in combination with insulin determir in Type 1 Diabetes.
This is a clinical research study of an experimental topical drug for the treatment of chronic, neuropathic, diabetic foot ulcers. The purpose of the study is to determine the safety of the experimental drug when applied to large, diabetic foot ulcers. The study will also determine if the experimental drug can safely promote healing of diabetic foot ulcers better than standard treatments currently available to doctors. Patients participating in the study may receive an active drug (MRE0094) or inactive drug (placebo). What treatment a patient will receive is determined by chance (like drawing a number from a hat). All patients will receive additional care for diabetic foot ulcers during the study. Participation in the study can be up to 4½ months.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of islet cell transplants for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus. It has been shown that normal control of blood sugar levels can prevent progression of complications (such as kidney disease, nerve damage, and vascular disease) from diabetes. This research study is designed to see if normal blood sugar control can be achieved by transplanting pancreatic islet cells into your liver, which may reduce or eliminate your need for insulin. Patients may qualify to participate in this research study if they have type 1 diabetes mellitus for at least five years and meet at least one of the following criteria: - Experience hypoglycemic unawareness - Defined as inability to tell when blood glucose is low (for example, may not feel symptoms such as shaking, sweating, and rapid heartbeat that usually signify that glucose is low) - Have been hospitalized several times in the past year for low blood sugar and/or high blood sugar - Have complications of diabetes such as retinopathy, kidney problems, or neuropathy
Patients who are intolerant of statins in routine practice, but who lack objective evidence of significant harm, will be randomized to receive statins by either n of 1 trials or standard practice. Our hypothesis is that n of 1 trials will improve statin adherence, thereby improving low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels.
This trial is conducted in North America (the United States of America (USA) and Mexico). The trial is designed to evaluate the effects of treatment with liraglutide versus glimepiride in subjects with type 2 diabetes. The trial is a 52-week randomised, double-blind trial period plus a 52-week open-label extension (week 104) followed by an additional 156-week continued open-label extension. The total duration of the treatment period is planned to be 260 weeks (5 years).
To assess the impact of inhalation of insulin on glucose disposition in patients with type 1 diabetes
The purpose of this study is to compare the change in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline to Week 12 between the 3 treatment arms.
