Filter by:Dapagliflozin improves glycemic variability in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus when added to insulin therapy. The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of dapagliflozin on glucose variability compared to placebo after 12 weeks of treatment in type 2 diabetic patients with inadequate glycemic control on insulin.
The purpose of this study is examine the effect of fat tissue-released miRNA on skeletal muscle and if abnormal fat tissue-released miRNA contributes to insulin resistance in obese individuals. This information will be important for our understanding of how the body's sugar metabolism is regulated and why people who are obese become insulin resistant and are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether incretin-based drugs (used to treat type 2 diabetes) taken either alone or in combination with other anti-diabetic drugs are associated with an increased risk of heart failure (HF) compared to other combinations of oral hypoglycemic agents (OHA). The investigators will carry out separate population based cohort studies using administrative health databases in six jurisdictions in Canada, the US and the UK. Cohorts will be defined by the initiation of a new anti-diabetic drug when incretin-based drugs entered the market, with follow-up until hospitalization for HF. Analyses will be done separately for groups of patients with and without prior HF. The results from the separate sites will be combined to provide an overall assessment of the risk of HF in users of incretin-based drugs and by class of incretin-based drugs.
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, dose escalation study to evaluate safety, tolerability, PK and PD of single and repeated SC doses of REMD-477 in Type 2 diabetic subjects. The study will be conducted at multiple sites in the United States and will enroll approximately 102 subjects with Type 2 diabetes who are either treatment-naïve, controlled with diet and exercise or treated with oral antidiabetic medications.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of ASP1941 50mg once daily in combination with metformin and sitagliptin against placebo in combination with metformin and sitagliptin over a 24 week treatment period in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus with inadequate glycemic control on metformin and sitagliptin.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most common microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus, and it is the leading cause of end stage renal disease on developed countries. The CKD diagnosis and its progression require re-evaluation of hypoglycemic therapy and constant dosing adjustments, in order to optimize glycemic control and minimize its side effects. Long acting insulin analogs and its pharmacokinetics have not been studied through different stages of kidney disease and there is no consensus defining the appropriate dosing adjustment based on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This research project will compare the glycemic response to intensive insulin treatment with NPH insulin and basal insulin analog (insulin glargine) in type 2 diabetes (DM 2) patients with CKD stages 3 and 4. Patients and methods - Inclusion Criteria: DM 2 patients with CKD secondary to diabetic nephropathy and GFR of 15-59 ml/min/1.73m². Exclusion Criteria: Patients with systemic neoplasia, HIV, CKD or nephropathy from other etiologies, severe psychiatric disorders and pregnant women. Study design: This study consists of a randomized, cross-over, open-label controlled clinical trial. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups: GROUP 1 - insulin analog glargine once a day and GROUP 2 - NPH human insulin, three applications per day, both group will be treated with insulin lispro at mealtime. The laboratory tests will be performed at baseline and 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks after the study start. During routine medical appointments will be analyzed self- monitoring of capillary blood glucose (SMBG) and the hypoglycemia score. After 24 weeks the basal insulin will be changed, i.e. patients using NPH insulin will receive insulin glargine and patients on insulin glargine will be changed to NPH insulin. A CGMS will be carried out at 24 and 48 weeks. Methodology: The metabolic profile will be evaluated throughout SMBG; biochemical, hormonal and hematological measurements; hypoglycemia score and CGMS. Statistical analysis will be performed using comparative descriptive analyzes, such as chi-square distribution, t-test and non-parametric tests. Analyze of data CGMS will include the area under the curve and the related statistic. Finally, logistic regression models will be adopted to evaluate the effect of the treatment on the several variables in question.
This is a multi-centre, open-label, randomized, parallel trial to compare the effect of Exenatide versus Biphasic insulin Aspart 30 on glucose variability and inflammatory markers in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients inadequately controlled with metformin monotherapy.
To assess the effect of PEX168 doses on the pharmacokinetics of simvastatin(as determined by simvastation acid) in healthy subjects. To assess the safety of single doses of simvastation administered with and without PEX168
Ghrelin is a hormone naturally produced in the stomach and the gut. The purpose of this research study is to determine the role of this gut hormone in the regulation of insulin secretion from the pancreas and glucose disposal after we eat. The investigators hypothesize that ghrelin has an effect on the pancreas and on how our body handles glucose after we eat. The investigators will compare insulin secretion and glucose changes during meal ingestion while either acyl ghrelin (AG) or saline (salt solution) is being infused through your vein on separate study days. AG is a form of the ghrelin hormone that has a small modification to it that allows it to bind to a specific receptor. The investigators hypothesize that AG has an effect on how the body handles glucose after a meal. AG has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for human research only. This study will also involve the use of a medicine called arginine, which is a naturally occurring product and found in many nutritional supplements. Its use in this study is investigational. The use of arginine helps maximize insulin release from the pancreas so the investigators can better examine whether AG affects insulin secretion.
Study NS-0100-01E is an extension of Study NS-01-0100 designed to assess safety and longer term effect (i.e., additional 8 weeks) of various fixed-dose leucine and metformin combinations (NS-0100) versus standard metformin monotherapy on glycemic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes using HbA1c as the primary endpoint.
