Filter by:This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics of vildagliptin (LAF237) and its metabolites in patients with mild renal impairment compared to their sex, age and weigh based healthy volunteer counterparts.
This is a 26-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo and active comparator-controlled, parallel-group study in participants with type 2 diabetes currently sub-optimally controlled by diet and exercise or with non-thiazolidinedione antihyperglycemic monotherapy. Pioglitazone is used as active comparator. The total duration of a participant's participation will be approximately 30 weeks, including a 2-week placebo lead-in period, a 26-week double-blind treatment period, and a 2-week post-treatment follow-up period. Participants who complete the randomized portion of the study per protocol may have the opportunity to continue in a long-term extension study of active treatments.
This is a 16-week double-blind, placebo-controlled (for colesevelam hydrochloride (HCl)) study in the type 2 diabetic subjects and pre-diabetic subjects. Diabetic participants will also be treated with open label, background,metformin HCl. Two-hundred sixty subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and 200 pre-diabetic subjects are planned to be be enrolled. Qualified subjects with T2DM will be randomized 1:1 to receive metformin HCl plus colesevelam HCl or metformin HCl plus placebo matching colesevelam HCl. Qualified pre-diabetic subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive colesevelam HCl or matching placebo.
It has been demonstrated that the nitric oxide production is reduced in type 2 diabetic patients and that cardiovascular complications represent 80% of the causes of death in these patients. As nitric oxide is able to reduce platelet aggregation, increase the relaxation of smooth muscle cells, and reduce plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and endothelin, we hypothesized that nitric oxide deficiency is responsable for the cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Arginine and N-acetylcysteine, precursor and enhancer of the nitric oxide synthesis respectively, are able to increase nitric oxide production. Aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of arginine and N-acetylcysteine administration on arterial blood pressure and different metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Subjects and methods. 24 male subjects, randomly divided in two groups, will be studied. These subjects will undergo a treatment with arginine (1200 mg once a day) plus N-acetylcysteine (600 mg twice a day) or placebo for six months. Basal and final evaluations include: - general examination - ABPM (ambulatory blood pressure monitoring) - HbA1c, total-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, oxidized LDLs, triglycerides, reduced/oxidized glutathione ratio in red blood cells, nitrites/nitrates, asymmetrical and symmetrical dimethyl-arginine, nitrotyrosine, arginine, homocysteine, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, intercellular and vascular-cell adhesion molecules, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and fibrinogen - the ultrasound assessment of the intima-media thickness after endothelium-dependent flow-mediated vasodilation of the brachial artery Expected results. Increase of nitric oxide production and reduction of arterial blood pressure and oxidative parameters.
A study to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the dry filled capsule (DFC) & oral compressed tablet (OCT) formulations of MK-0941-009 & to assess the effect of food on the OCT formulation.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the extent of effect of gemfibrozil on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of mitiglinide.
Primary objective: To compare long-term glycemic control and preservation of beta cell function when basal insulin or sulfonylurea is added on metformin in the early Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients Secondary objective: To assess the change of insulin resistance, microvascular complication incidence, patient satisfaction with treatment
Premise: Complete resolution of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with normalization of blood glucose and HbA1c in the abscence of medication support is possible with a surgical procedure named the "Duodenal-Jejunal Bypass (DJB)" a modification of an established duodenal switch procedure and is performed utilizing the laparoscopic approach.
The purpose of this research study is to look at concentrations of GSK189075 in blood when different long and short acting forms of the drug are taken by mouth. The results will help to decide whether a long-acting form of GSK189075 can be made. The effects of the drug on the body and safety will also be studied.
Acarbose an alphaglucosidase inhibitor changes in a complex way the transport, the digestion and the place of glucose release and absorption. As a result the intestinal milieu, the intestinal flora and the provision of enzymes in the lower small destine are changed. This should modify immune response of intestinal wall on food and its proinflammatory effects. The small intestine is the biggest immune organ of the organism. The postprandial glucose increase could have a direct effect on low-grade inflammation. Toxic effects (glucotoxicity), activation of the immune system and low grad inflammation could be reasons of developing endothelial dysfunction and affect plaque stability. The activity of the lymphocyte immune system in the intestine would be a further component, by which acarbose could take influence on diabetogenesis and atherogenesis. The question of an enterovasal axis is one of the new research concepts. As indicators of this axis considered: leucocytes, high sensitive C-reactive protein, plasminogen activator inhibitor antigen and lymphocytes sub-populations. The effect of acarbose on these parameters in the postprandial phase are not known yet.
