Filter by:The study intends on enrolling 48 subjects with diabetes. Diabetic subjects that no longer need insulin will be randomly placed (like the flip of a coin) on a diabetes pill called metformin, a diabetes pill called sitagliptin or a placebo pill (a pill without active medication). Subjects on pills will be followed for 3½ years and undergo blood tests at specified intervals to assess their ability to make insulin. These studies will allow a better understanding of the factors that lead to high blood sugar in patients with ketosis-prone diabetes mellitus (KPDM) and direct the best diabetes treatment for this patient population. Hypothesis: Metformin therapy or sitagliptin therapy compared to placebo, will improve β-cell function, insulin sensitivity, and allow for a longer period of time prior to encountering an insulin-deficient relapse after discontinuation of insulin therapy.
Dual combination therapy with metformin and sulphonylurea is the most commonly used combination regimen to treat patients with type 2 diabetes. But, treatment with the dual combination therapy is often unsuccessful at achieving glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. In this setting, use of insulin is often the next therapeutic step. Recently, dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-IV inhibitor is increasingly being used in clinical practice. It is well established that DPP-IV inhibitor improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. But, there have been few studies about the glucose lowering effect of DPP-IV inhibitors (vildagliptin) in Type 2 diabetes patients on the dual combination therapy with a sulfonylurea agent and metformin.The researchers hypothesized that DPP-IV inhibitor as add-on therapy to combination of a sulfonylurea agent and metformin have favorable glucose lowering effect in type 2 diabetic patients. The researchers plan to investigate the change in HbA1C and fasting glucose of 24 weeks treatment with vildagliptin (DPP-IV inhibitor) in combination with a sulfonylurea agent and metformin in type 2 diabetic patients.
This randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a weekly dose of albiglutide as compared with sitagliptin. Subjects who are renally impaired with a historical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus and whose glycemia is inadequately controlled on their current regimen of diet and exercise or their antidiabetic therapy of metformin, thiazolidinedione, sulfonylurea, or any combination of these oral antidiabetic medications will be recruited into the study.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, 4-parallel-group, dose ranging study evaluating the dose response, efficacy and safety of subcutaneously injected GSK716155 (albiglutide) in Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
MK-8835-042 (B1521004) is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of an investigational drug, ertugliflozin (MK-8835, PF-04971729), in participants with type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Participants in the study will receive 1 of 5 treatments for 28 days (either placebo, 1 of 3 doses of ertugliflozin [1, 5, or 25 mg], or the approved drug hydrochlorothiazide [HCTZ]). The primary hypothesis of the study was that ertugliflozin was superior to placebo on the change from baseline in average, 24-hour systolic blood pressure (SBP) on Day 28.
The overall aim is to determine the mechanism(s) by which common bariatric surgical procedures alter carbohydrate metabolism. Understanding these mechanisms may ultimately lead to the development of novel interventions for the prevention and treatment of Type 2 diabetes and obesity.
The purpose of this study is to compare two continuous glucose sensors, one placed subcutaneous (under the skin) and one placed intradermal (in the skin) over 12-14 hours.
We will test the safety of a new class of anti-diabetes compounds (DPPIV-inhibitors) in people living with HIV. Future trials will examine efficacy for treating diabetes and reducing cardiovascular disease risk in people living with HIV.
This study will assess the effects of colesevelam, alone or in combination with sitagliptin, on glucose metabolism in subjects with T2DM inadequately controlled by diet and exercise
In this application the investigators describe plans for a randomized controlled cross-over trial to determine the effects of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on urine protein excretion in 30 adults with diabetes (NIDDM) and kidney disease defined by the presence of proteinuria.
