Filter by:To preliminarily evaluate the efficacy and safety of the renin inhibitor (SPH3127 tablets) in reduction in proteinuria in patients with diabetic kidney disease with valsartan as the comparator, and determine the recommended dose.
Canagliflozin is an oral drug which is currently approved for use in patients with type 2 diabetes by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Canagliflozin acts by increasing salt and sugar loss in the urine, and has shown to protect heart, kidney, and blood vessel function in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, it is unknown how canagliflozin protects the kidneys from disease. Therefore, this study plans to learn more about how canagliflozin works to protect against diabetic kidney disease in adults with type 2 diabetes. This study will use state-of-the-art kidney imaging, kidney biopsies and detailed testing of kidney function to determine the mechanisms of protection afforded by canagliflozin.
The Effects and Safety of Diabetic GUideline Algorithm Implementation in the Community (GUARD-Community) study is a 2-arm, cluster-randomized control trial to evaluate the effect and safety of guideline algorithm intervention performed by primary care physicians on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in elderly patients with high risk in community.
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) occurs in up to 40% of people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), often leading to kidney failure and markedly magnifying risks of cardiovascular disease and premature death. Landmark T1D kidney biopsy studies identified the classic pathological lesions of DKD, which have been attributed largely to hyperglycemia. Recent advances in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and automated insulin delivery have facilitated improved glycemic control, but the residual risk of DKD continues to be high. In addition, obesity and insulin resistance (IR) have accompanied intensive glycemic therapy and may promote mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation. Deciphering the molecular underpinnings of DKD in modern-day T1D and identifying modifiable risk factors could lead to more effective and targeted therapies to prevent DKD.
Asia is in the midst of an epidemic of diabetes. Epidemiological figures suggest that there are more than 110 million people affected by diabetes in China, with a significant proportion of young adults already affected. With increasingly young age of onset, the financial implications due to productivity loss and health care expenditures are colossal. As a result, prevention of diabetes and diabetic complications has been identified as a top healthcare priority in China. In Chinese, diabetic kidney disease with albuminuria, which reflects widespread vascular damage, is a major predictor for end-stage renal failure, cardiovascular complications and death, and a major contributor to the increased healthcare burden associated with diabetes. There is an immense demand for effective tools which can accurately predict diabetes and diabetic complications. Only few genetic factors have been consistently shown to be associated with diabetic kidney disease or other diabetic complications. Identification of genetic factors or other biomarkers predicting these complications can facilitate early identification of high risk subjects for treatment, as well as provide novel targets for drug treatment. To address this, the investigators plan to utilize both hypothesis-generating whole-genome approach as well as candidate gene-based studies to identify novel genetic, epigenetic factors as well as other biomarkers associated with the development of diabetic cardiovascular and renal complications, as well as other diabetes-related outcomes. The Hong Kong Diabetes Biobank (HKDB) is being established in order to serve as a territory-wide diabetes register and biobank for epidemiological analyses, as well as large-scale discovery and replication of genetic and epigenetic markers, and other biomarkers relating to diabetes, diabetes complications or related outcomes. Subjects will be recruited from diabetes centres across Hong Kong, and will have detailed clinical information collected at the time of written consent and blood taking. Subjects will have detailed assessment of baseline diabetes complications through a structured clinical assessment, and will be prospectively followed up for development of different diabetes-related endpoints, as well as collection of clinical information and causes of hospitalization, along with information on medications and prescription records. This multi-centre cohort and biobank aims to improve our understanding of the epidemiology of diabetes and diabetes complications and related outcomes, as well as provide a unique resource for large-scale biomarker research to advance diabetes care and precision medicine in diabetes.
This proposal will use kidney SPECT/CT of Tc-99m-tilmanocept to evaluate the mesangial changes seen in diabetics across the spectrum of kidney disease as well as persons with hypertensive kidney disease, the next most common cause of kidney disease in patients with diabetes. We aim to demonstrate that these different disease types and stages can be differentiated with Tc-99m-tilmanocept SPECT/CT and can thus be used for future trials evaluating early diagnosis and treatment of diabetic nephropathy.
To compare GLP-1 RA plus basal insulin (BGLP) versus basal-bolus (BB) insulin regimens on glycemic variability (GV) and time in range (TIR) in diabetes patients CKD stage 3-4
Diabetic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in people with type 1 diabetes and are exacerbated with longer duration of diabetes and time outside goal glycemic range. Yet, type 1 diabetes is a complex disease with pathophysiology that extends beyond beta-cell injury and insulin deficiency to include insulin resistance and renal vascular resistance, factors that accelerate cardiovascular disease risk. We have shown that metformin improved peripheral insulin sensitivity and vascular stiffness in youth with type 1 diabetes on multiple daily insulin injections or standard insulin pumps. However, metformin's effect on kidney and endothelial outcomes, and the effects of type 1 diabetes technologies, with or without metformin, on any cardiovascular or kidney outcome, remains unknown. Automated insulin delivery systems combine an insulin pump, continuous glucose monitor, and control algorithm to modulate background insulin delivery and decrease peripheral insulin exposure while improving time in target range and reducing hypoglycemia. We hypothesize that automated insulin delivery systems, particularly when combined with metformin, may modulate renal vascular resistance and insulin sensitivity, thereby impacting cardiometabolic function. MANATEE-T1D is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 4 months of metformin 2,000 mg daily in 40 youth aged 12-21 years with type 1 diabetes on automated insulin delivery systems vs. 20 control youth with type 1 diabetes on multiple daily injections plus a continuous glucose monitor which will assess for changes in calculated renal vascular resistance and gold standard measures of whole-body and adipose insulin sensitivity, arterial stiffness, and endothelial function.
Early diabetic kidney disease (DKD) occurs in 50-70% of youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and confers high lifetime risk of dialysis and premature death. Youth-onset T2D typically manifests during or shortly after puberty in adolescents with obesity. Epidemiological data implicate puberty as an accelerator of kidney disease in youth with obesity and diabetes and the investigators posit that the link between puberty and T2D-onset may explain the high burden of DKD in youth-onset T2D. A better understanding of the impact of puberty on kidney health is needed to promote preservation of native kidney function, especially in youth with T2D.
Insufficient clinical evidence correlates the progression of diabetic kidney disease with electrolyte homeostasis in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), especially in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) population and what are the most effective interventions to slow chronic renal failure progression. In our research, we test the hypothesis that low serum magnesium and potassium levels are directly associated with the decline of kidney function in diabetic patients who did not have severely impaired renal function at baseline. In addition, we describe the effect of long-term multifactorial adherence interventions on medication adherence, diet adherence and follow-up visits using a telemedicine approach such as mobile applications in reducing the progression of chronic kidney disease and other diabetes-related complications. This study is a single-blind randomized control trial to demonstrate the causal relationship between potassium and magnesium levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline. The intervention group will be evaluated for manifestations of electrolyte imbalance and correction of serum magnesium and/or potassium levels will be initiated based on the last updated laboratory test. Moreover, they will receive education to reinforce diet and exercise changes at each follow up visit by a specialized dietitian with pharmacist-led comprehensive medication therapy management utilizing multifactorial adherence interventions to measure potential drug-drug or drug-food interactions, as well as medication and follow-up adherence through an integrated mobile application and fixed medication possession ratio (FMPR). This research is under progress, and summary of its findings will be reported. This study will suggest if additional national monitoring guidelines may be warranted. In addition, it will reduce diabetic burden, medication cost in UAE and improve patient satisfaction by reducing or delaying the progression of diabetic kidney disease in diabetic patients.
