Filter by:Primary objective: - To characterize the effects of 12 weeks treatment with study drug on albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) in patients with type 2 diabetes and albuminuria Secondary objectives: - To characterize the effect of study drug on glycosylated hemoglobin fraction (HbA1c) - To evaluate the effect of study drug on markers of glycemic disorders, systemic inflammation, renal and liver disease and cardiovascular function - To assess the safety and tolerability of study drug - To determine the population pharmacokinetics (PK) of study drug

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of steady-state ranolazine 500 mg bid on the steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) of metformin in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
BACKGROUND Chronic disease management (CDM) presents enormous challenges to the primary care workforce due to the rising epidemic of cardiovascular risk factors. The Chronic Care Model (CCM) was proven effective in improving chronic disease outcomes in developed countries. Evidence that this model works in developing countries is still scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the EMPOWER-PAR intervention (multifaceted CDM strategies based on the CCM) in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension (HPT), using readily available resources in the Malaysian public primary care setting. METHODS This is a pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial - participatory action research which is currently being conducted in 10 public primary care clinics in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Five clinics are randomly selected to provide the EMPOWER-PAR intervention for 1 year, while the other 5 clinics continued with usual care. Each clinic recruits consecutive T2DM and HPT patients who fulfil the inclusion and exclusion criteria over a 2-week period. The EMPOWER-PAR intervention consists of creating/strengthening a multidisciplinary CDM Team; and training the team to utilise the Global CV Risks Self-Management Booklet to support patient care and reinforcing them to utilise relevant clinical practice guidelines to aid management and prescribing. For T2DM, primary outcome is the change in the proportion of patients achieving target HbA1c of <6.5%. For HPT without T2DM, primary outcome is the change in the proportion of patients achieving target blood pressure of <140/90 mmHg. Secondary outcomes include the proportion of patients achieving targets serum lipid profile, body mass index and waist circumference. Other outcome measures include medication adherence levels, process of care and prescribing patterns. Patients' assessment of their chronic disease care, providers' perception, attitude and perceived barriers in delivering the care and cost-effectiveness of the intervention are also evaluated. CONCLUSION Results from this study will provide objective evidence of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a multifaceted intervention based on the CCM in resource constraint public primary care setting. It is hoped that the evidence will instigate the much needed primary care system change in Malaysia.
This study will evaluate the effect of the addition of metformin once daily (q.d.) or twice daily (b.i.d.) to sitagliptin monotherapy in Japanese participants with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who have inadequate glycemic control with diet/exercise therapy and sitagliptin monotherapy. The primary hypotheses are that the addition of metformin 250 mg b.i.d. or metformin 500 mg q.d. is superior to the addition of placebo on the change from baseline in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at 24 weeks and that the addition of metformin 500 mg q.d. is non-inferior to the addition of metformin 250 mg b.i.d. on the change from baseline in HbA1c at 24 weeks.
Rocca et al. reported first that the secretion of incretins, particular GLP-1 in rat is regulated by the enteric nervous system, the afferent and efferent vagus nerves [1]. Further, Kazakos et al. [2] reported that autonomic nerve disturbance (AND) in patients with T2DM impaired the incretin effect owing to decreased GLP-1 secretion. However, Toft-Nielsen et al. [3] reported that the decreased GLP-1 responses in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are unlikely to be related to the AND and, thus, did not support the results of Rocca et al. and Kazakos et al. Recently, Yabe at al. [4] also observed the same observations in Japanese patients with T2DM. Meanwhile, Jin et al. reported that administration of DPP-IV inhibitor recovered the disturbance of diabetic nerve dysfunction in rat [5]. However, it is unknown whether the administration of DPP-IV inhibitor effects on the AND in human, although many studies are performed to investigate the effect of the DPP-IV inhibitors on glycemic control. Accordingly, it is significant to reinvestigate an effect of DPP-IV inhibitor on glycemic control and autonomic neuropathy in diabetic patients.
This trial will attempt to develop the use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) as a tool for the evaluation of both new and existing pharmacological treatments for type 2 diabetes, using the twice daily administered dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitor, vildagliptin as a probe. The primary hypothesis is that two weeks of treatment with 50 mg of oral Vildagliptin, twice daily will lead to a statistically significant decrease in 24 hour weighted-mean glucose (WMG) relative to placebo.
The potential clinical implications of this study are to optimise the selection of a population at risk for developing a diabetic cardiomyopathy among diabetic patients in order to develop early therapeutic strategies to prevent the left ventricular remodelling. Therefore, the originality of this project is to hypothesize that : - Diabetes mellitus is often associated with a premature aging syndrome - Cellular senescence may potentiate the mechanisms that are involved in decreasing myocardial contractility in DM and, - DM associated to premature aging may increase the risk of developing a cardiomyopathy Thus, the modulation of telomerase activity and the control of telomere length, together with the attenuation of the formation of reactive oxygen species, might represent important new targets in order to develop therapeutic tools in prevention of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
This is an open-label, randomised study to compare the similarity of a combination Dapagliflozin/Metformin tablet with the two drugs administered separately under fasting and fed conditions in healthy volunteers.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of a patient, who has type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who is currently treated with basal/bolus insulin therapy, to use PaQ™ (a simple patch on insulin delivery device) to control his/her blood glucose.
