Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to determine if sitagliptin (Januvia®) improves psoriasis severity after 16 weeks of treatment in 20 participants with both psoriasis and type 2 diabetes mellitus. We will compare the change in psoriasis severity in 20 participants treated with Januvia® to 20 participants treated with 16 weeks of a comparator drug (gliclazide, Diamicron®). Participants will be recruited from two centres and after a 4 week washout period will be followed prospectively for 36 weeks. Participants will be stratified by centre, psoriasis severity and obesity status after which they will be randomly allocated to Arm A or Arm B. Participants will be treated with either Januvia® and Diamicron® matched placebo capsules (Arm A), or Diamicron® and Januvia® matched placebo tablets (Arm B) for 16 weeks and then proceed to an open-label phase where all participants will receive Januvia® for a further 16 weeks. Both the research participants and the investigators will be unaware of the trial arm to which the research participant has been allocated (double-blind study). Research participants will be prohibited from making any changes to the dose of medications used to treat psoriasis. If a participant's plasma glycated haemoglobin level (HbA1c) (reflects a participant's glucose control over the previous 3 months) is above 64mmol/mol eight weeks after commencing one of the study investigational medicinal products (IMPs) insulin therapy will be used to improve glycaemic control. Participants will be assessed at 9 study visits over 40 weeks. Participants will complete questionnaires, have a medical history recorded and physical examination, blood sampling and skin biopsies taken (in a small number of willing participants at 3 visits). The following endpoints will be analysed: Changes in psoriasis severity at 16 and 32 weeks; changes in validated quality of life scores; incidence of adverse events; incidence of discontinuation of one of the study IMPs, time to relapse of psoriasis; changes in cardiovascular disease risk factor profiles; changes in cytokines, hormones, expression of immune proteins in blood and skin biopsies; and genetic profiles that predicts best response to sitagliptin therapy. We hypothesize that sitagliptin therapy decreases psoriasis severity.
The purpose of this survey is to examine the safety and efficacy of long-term use of alogliptin/pioglitazone(Liovel) combination tablets in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus determined as warranting combination therapy with alogliptin benzoate and pioglitazone hydrochloride
Four months of interval walking training (IWT) is superior to energy-expenditure matched continuous walking training (CWT) with regards to weight loss and improvements in glycemic control. The reason for this is unclear. One potential explanation for the differential outcome in weight loss is excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), which is defined as the elevated oxygen consumption measured during the hours following an exercise bout. A large EPOC means greater energy expenditure which, if energy intake does not change, leads to a greater weight loss. This weight loss may subsequently improve glycemic control - Aim 1: To assess the effect of an acute bout of IWT vs. an acute bout of CWT on glycemic control in type 2 diabetics and to assess mechanisms responsible for differences (if any). It is hypothesised that IWT will be more advantageous for improving glycemic control. - Aim 2: To examine the effect of an acute bout of IWT vs. an acute bout of CWT on EPOC. It is hypothesised that IWT will produce an EPOC of larger magnitude than CWT.
An overall study of the cardiovascular outcomes following treatment with ertugliflozin in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and established vascular disease. The main objective of this study is to assess the cardiovascular safety of ertugliflozin. This trial includes 3 pre-defined glycemic sub-studies; 1. In participants receiving background insulin with or without metformin, 2. In participants receiving background sulfonylurea monotherapy, and 3. In participants receiving background metformin with sulfonylurea (all fully-enrolled). Participants enrolled prior to Amendment 1 were in the overall study as well as a sub-study, if they met certain entry criteria. Participants enrolled following the start of Amendment 1 were only enrolled in the overall study. The sub-studies were the initial 18 weeks of the overall study period.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ertugliflozin (MK-8835/PF-04971729) in participants with Type 2 diabetes mellitus with Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) who have inadequate glycemic control on background antihyperglycemic therapy. The duration of this trial will be up to 67 weeks. This study will consist of a 1-week Screening Period, a 10-week wash-off period from metformin, if needed, and a 2-week placebo run-in period, a 52-week double-blind treatment period, and a 14-day post-treatment follow-up period. The primary objective of this trial is to assess the hemoglobin A1C (A1C)-lowering efficacy of the addition of ertugliflozin compared to the addition of placebo with an underlying hypothesis that addition of treatment with ertugliflozin provides greater reduction in A1C compared to the addition of placebo; the primary objective will be tested for both 5-mg and 15-mg doses of ertugliflozin.
ZYD1 is a novel GLP-1 receptor agonist. The ZYD1 exhibits increased stability to proteolytic cleavage, especially against dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-IV). ZYD1 is a potent antidiabetic agent without gastrointestinal side-effects. A first in human (FIH) Phase I study intends to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ZYD1 in normal healthy adult volunteers.
This is a study of the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of MK-8666 in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Participants enrolled in this trial would be either treatment-naive or have washed off of oral anti-hyperglycemic agents. MK-8666 is planned to be administered orally for up to 2 weeks. The primary hypothesis for this study is that after 14 days of once daily treatment with MK-8666, at a dose that is safe and well tolerated, the placebo-corrected fasting plasma glucose reduction from baseline is ≥34 mg/dL.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ISIS-GCCRRx in combination with metformin versus placebo + metformin
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of long-term treatment with alogliptin (Nesina) in patients with mild type 2 diabetes mellitus in the routine clinical setting.
Patients with type 2 diabetes are at an increased risk for developing atherosclerosis, largely due to the underlying insulin resistance and chronic low grade inflammation. Cardiovascular events could be prevented with proper interventions targeted at ameliorating the aforementioned detrimental processes. YKL-40, a novel surrogate marker of acute and chronic inflammatory states has been implicated to have a putative role in both pathways. Given the shared pathway of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis, it is conceivable that anti-diabetes medications are able to modify coronary artery disease risk via direct and indirect amelioration of YKL-40 concentrations. The present clinical trial was therefore launched to examine the comparative effects of metformin and pioglitazone, two commonly prescribed anti-diabetes medications on YKL-40 concentrations in medication-naïve, newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients.
