Filter by:This study is being carried out to see if dapagliflozin as an addition to metformin is effective and safe in treating patients with type 2 diabetes when compared to glipizide (sulphonylurea) as an addition to metformin treatment.
Sitagliptin is a new oral hypoglycemic anti-diabetic drug used either alone or in combination with metformin or a thiazolidinedione for control of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sitagliptin has been shown to have fewer side effects in the control of blood glucose values. Obesity and diabetes are states of increased inflammation and can influence the free radicals and inflammatory markers (chemicals in the blood which increase due to inflammation in the body) and are also major risk factors for atherosclerotic disease. In this study we want to see the effect of sitagliptin on these markers. We believe that Sitagliptin may exert an anti-inflammatory effect in the human. The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of sitagliptin to diabetic patients will provide added benefit. We believe that sitagliptin provides these added benefits by suppressing free radicals (charged substances that cause damage to the body) and inflammation.
The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that glycemic control, as measured by change in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline to endpoint, with exenatide is superior to that of placebo after 28 weeks of treatment in adolescent patients with type 2 diabetes who are naïve to antidiabetes agents, or patients who are being treated with metformin, an SU, or a combination of metformin and an SU
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients (T2DM) have an increased mortality rate due to macrovascular disease. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of an 18-month treatment with metformin versus placebo in combination with one of three insulin analogue regimens following a treat-to-target principle. The primary outcome measure is change in wall thickness of the carotic arteries(CIMT)measured by ultrasound. A total of 900 patients with T2DM and HbA1c above 7.5% will be included.
The aim of the present study is to assess the effect of a high intake of industrially produced trans fatty acids for 16 weeks on abdominal obesity and risk markers of type 2 diabetes and heart disease in healthy, moderately overweight, postmenopausal women.
To determine if olmesartan plus amlodipine combination therapy alone and with hydrochlorothiazide will be safe and effective to reduce high blood pressure in hypertensive, type 2 diabetic subjects.
Primary objective: - Efficacy assessment of the percentage of positive responders patients receiving Lantus plus glucophage association. Positive responders patients are defined by a final value of HbA1c<7% and/or a final decrease of HbA1c>15% compare to the basal value (HbA1c final - HbA1c basal). Secondary objectives: - Determination of the predictive criterion of HbA1c final, - Determination of the predictive criterion of weight variation, - Description of the glycemic and therapeutic criteria in the both groups of responders (positive and negative responders), - Assessment of the lipidic parameters according to the HbA1c and weight changes during the study (final value - basal value). Safety: - Adverse Event (AE)/Serious Adverse Event (SAE) assessments
Moderate alcohol consumption has consistently been associated with lowered risk of developing type two diabetes mellitus compared to abstainers and heavy drinkers. However, the underlying mechanism for the lower risk of type two diabetes is not clear. Hypothesis: moderate alcohol consumption for four weeks changes gene expression pathways of inflammatory status, insulin sensitivity and lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in adipose tissue in both lean and obese postmenopausal women. Hypothesis: Oral sensory stimulation by means of alcohol in the oral cavity will induce a cephalic phase reflex as indicated by increased autonomic & endocrine responses in postmenopausal women.
The purpose of this study is to assess the GLP-1 and non-GLP-1 effects of LAF237 on glucagon secretion, using treatment observations of the overall glycemic response.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if initiating treatment with BMS-51248 (Dapagliflozin) in combination with metformin XR can improve diabetes control in patients with Type 2 Diabetes who do not receive any pharmacological treatment for diabetes, when compared to initial treatment with monotherapy dapagliflozin or metformin XR. The safety of this treatment will also be studied
