Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with CCX140-B in subjects with diabetic nephropathy.
The study design of this trial is open-label, randomized, multi-center, parallel-group study.
The purpose of this trial is to demonstrate that dextromethorphan (DXM) and amantadine compared to placebo exert blood glucose (BG) lowering effects following an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in male subjects with T2DM.
Hypothesis: Chronic intake of pistachios improves glucose metabolism and insulin resistance status thus contributing to decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and its associated abnormalities.
This study is intended to evaluate the pharmacodynamics, safety, and tolerability of LX4211 when administered concurrently with sitagliptin (Januvia®) in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of treatment with CCX140-B on urinary albumin excretion in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus and albuminuria, as well as to study the safety and efficacy of the medication in this patient population.
Xenin-25 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) are hormones produced in the intestine that are released into the blood immediately after ingestion of a meal. Together, these 2 hormones increase insulin release and reduce blood glucose levels. Xenin-25 works by increasing acetylcholine release in pancreatic islets. This study will determine if a Bethanechol, a drug that is similar to acetylcholine, also increases insulin release and reduces blood glucose levels after ingestion of a mixed meal.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of exenatide, an anti-diabetes medication, on liver fat and blood levels of proteins that influence liver fat.
The study is designed to demonstrate the short term efficacy and safety of vildagliptin 50 mg bid in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus inadequately controlled with Metformin.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a naturally occurring incretin with insulinotropic properties. Apart from the glycemic actions, cardiovascular effects by GLP-1 have recently been reviewed. Receptors for GLP-1 are expressed in the rodent and human heart and acute activation of GLP-1 signalling has been shown to influence e.g. heart rate and blood pressure. In a knock-out mouse model, GLP-1R-/- mice exhibited a defective cardiovascular contractile response together with left ventricular hypertrophy. GLP-1 improves severe left ventricular heart failure in humans suffering from a myocardial infarction. Hence, it has been demonstrated that GLP-1 exerts direct functional effects through both GLP-1 receptor dependent and independent pathways in the heart. Native GLP-1 is an extremely short acting peptide, with a half-time breakdown of 1-2 minutes, a feature that makes it unsuitable as a drug treatment for type 2 diabetes. To this end, several long-acting GLP-1 analogues, drugs for treating type 2 diabetes, have been tested for this purpose. The analogue liraglutide exerts its effects via the native GLP-1 receptor, localized not only on the pancreatic β-cells, but also in the human heart. Interestingly, liraglutide has been demonstrated to have beneficial effect on heart function in mice. Taken together, recent data shows that GLP-1 and its stable analogue liraglutide exert beneficial cardiovascular effects. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue liraglutide improves heart function (measured as left ventricle longitudinal function and/or functional reserve during rest and/or after exercise) after 18 weeks of liraglutide + metformin, compared with glimepiride + metformin, using tissue Doppler echocardiography.
