Filter by:Aim: To evaluate the renoprotective effect as reflected by short-term changes in albuminuria of ultra high doses of irbesartan in Type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria Design: A double-masked randomized cross-over trial including 60 hypertensive Type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria on ongoing antihypertensive medication. At inclusion, previous antihypertensive treatment will be discontinued and replaced with bendroflumethiazide 5 mg o.d. for the entire study. Following two months wash-out (baseline), patients will be treated randomly with irbesartan 300, 600 and 900 mg o.d., each dose for two months. End-points evaluated at the end of each study period include urinary albumin excretion rate (UAE, mean of three 24-hrs collections), 24-hrs blood pressure (ABP); and GFR (51Cr-EDTA).
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of BXT-51072 as a cardioprotective agent in diabetics undergoing elective angioplasty / percutaneous intervention (PCI), a procedure to "open" coronary arteries. BXT-51072 belongs to a class of drugs called "glutathione peroxidase mimics." BXT-51072 works by imitating a substance produced in various tissues in the body, which prevents damage of the heart and blood vessels.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intensified multifactorial intervention comprising both behaviour modification and polypharmacy can reduce the risk for late diabetic complications compared to standard treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria.
The aim of this multicenter, doubleblind, randomized study was to investigate the renoprotective effect of irbesartan treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria (a precursor of diabetic kidney disease). 590 patients were randomized to a median 24 months of treatment with 300 mg irbesartan once daily, 150 mg irbesartan once daily or placebo. Time to development of overt nephropathy, defined by persistent proteinuria, was the primary outcome measure.
The aim is to assess the population prevalence of risk factors for different chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, asthma, and allergy. Risk factors include genetic and serologic biomarkers, questionnaire data on health and lifestyle. There are many hypotheses under study for each research field.
The purpose of this study it to determine if a culturally appropriate, church based intervention for African Americans with type 2 diabetes, will lead to improved glycemic (blood sugar) control.
Evaluate the effect of Losartan in reducing kidney disease in patients with Non-insulin Dependent Diabetes and Nephropathy (kidney damage that usually accompanies late stage Diabetes Mellitus).
To evaluate the effect of treatment with sitagliptin compared to placebo in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have poor glycemic control with diet and exercise.
Aim: To investigate the therapeutic potential of IL-1Ra in type 2 diabetes. Rationale: Since the major defect leading to a decrease in b-cell mass in type 2 diabetes is increased apoptosis, therapeutic approaches designed to arrest apoptosis could be a significant new development in its management. This approach might actually reverse the disease to a degree rather than just palliate glycemia. Based on current thinking, treatment with IL-1Ra appears as a promising approach. The prospected effect is blocking of the IL-1b-mediated glucotoxicity and thereby to prevent the decline in b-cell mass, together with a rapid restoration of b-cell function. FDA approval for IL-1Ra in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis occurred based on a favourable tolerability profile.
The study is designed to test the safety, tolerability of a newly developed form of ketoconazole (DIO-902) for the treatment of elevated blood sugars in type 2 diabetes. This study also will also examine the effect of the drug on total and LDL cholesterol and blood pressure. Elevated cortisol may contribute to the development of Type II diabetes. The investigational drug DIO-902 may reduce the level of cortisol in blood and therefore provide better control of blood sugar levels in patients with Type II diabetes.
