Filter by:The purpose of the study is to determine whether treatment of children and adolescents with Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) with rosiglitazone will lead to improvements in insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance.
This study represents the first administration of GSK376501 in humans and the goal is to evaluate its initial safety and tolerability. The way the human body processes GSK376501 will also be determined.
A clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the initial combination therapy with sitagliptin and pioglitazone in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus not on treatment with insulin or oral antihyperglycemic therapy.
A clinical study to determine the safety and efficacy of sitagliptin in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who have inadequate glycemic control on insulin or insulin/metformin combination therapy.
Decreased insulin sensitivity (e.g. insulin resistance) is a hallmark and a major pathogenic factor of type 2 diabetes. It is the key factor of the metabolic syndrome - a cluster of arterial hypertension, obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, dyslipidemia, coagulation abnormalities,albuminuria and increased cardiovascular risk - that may precede or accompany type 2 diabetes. Insulin function and the abnormalities associated with insulin resistance, may have a major role in preventing type 2 diabetes and, in the long-term, diabetes micro- and macrovascular complications. Carnitine is involved in lipids and carbohydrates metabolism and acetyl-L-carnitine(ALC), an intramitochondrial carrier of acylic group, may modulate cell fuel substrate utilization. Studies found that carnitine may improve insulin sensitivity and glucose disposal in healthy subjects and in patients with type 2 diabetes. A recent study also found that a primed constant infusion of acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) may increase glucose utilization in type 2 diabetic patients, possibly restoring the glycogen synthase activity. Thus, we designed the Acetylcarnitine in insulin resistance study, a pilot, sequential,longitudinal study aimed to assess whether acetyl-carnitine may improve insulin function and lipid profile in patients at increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
This study will examine the response of several doses of LY2148568 (exenatide) and assess the effect on glucose control and safety and tolerability in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.
This Phase 3 trial is designed to compare the effects of twice-daily exenatide and twice-daily placebo with respect to glycemic control in drug-naive patients with type 2 diabetes treated with diet and exercise.
To investigate the efficacy and safety of miglitol in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes that is insufficiently controlled diet alone.
Cycloset, a new quick-release oral formulation of bromocriptine mesylate, effectively reduces blood sugar by the proposed mechanism of reversing many of the metabolic alterations associated with insulin resistance and obesity by resetting central (hypothalamic) circadian organization of monoamine neuronal activities. The primary analysis of this study will test the hypothesis that the rate of all-cause severe adverse events for those receiving usual drug therapy for diabetes management plus Cycloset is not greater than that for usual drug therapy plus placebo by more than an acceptable margin. While the primary purpose of this study is to establish the safety profile of Cycloset in type 2 diabetes, any potential positive cardiovascular benefits will be evaluated as well.
GSK189075 is intended for use as a single treatment or in combination with other treatments for tye 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Metformin is widely used in Europe and the USA for the treatment of T2DM. This study will evaluate the effect of GSK189075 on metformin levels in the blood in T2DM subjects. The rationale is to look for any safety problems that may result when the 2 drugs are given together.
