Filter by:In Phase 2b/3 clinical trials, Dapagliflozin has been shown to raise HDL cholesterol levels by about 4 mg/dl (1 mmol/l), which is generally considered a clinically-meaningful change. As this HDL cholesterol increase is carried out with concomitant improvement in glucotoxicity and body weight reduction, it is possible that treatment with Dapagliflozin also improves HDL function. This is important because clinical, epidemiological and experimental studies indicate that HDL function may be more important than HDL cholesterol levels in determining the protective cardiovascular effects of HDL particles. In addition, knowing the effects of Dapagliflozin on HDL function can help interpreting the increase in HDL cholesterol levels observed in Dapagliflozin-treated patients. Finally, discovery of extra-glycemic effects of Dapagliflozin will shed new light on the potential benefits of therapy with Dapagliflozin and SGLT2i in general. So far, no study evaluated the effects of Dapagliflozin (or other SGLT2i) on HDL function. The investigators hypothesize that Dapagliflozin, in addition to raising HDL cholesterol levels, also increases HDL functionality, measured as reverse cholesterol transport and anti-oxidant capacity, in patients with T2DM
This is a 16-week, Single-center, Randomized, Open Label, Parallel Controlled Group Comparison of the Comprehensive Glycemic Control of Exenatide and Insulin Glargine on Type 2 Diabetes Patients Inadequately Controlled With Metformin Monotherapy.
The hypothesis being that both aspirin-ticagrelor and ticagrelor monotherapy will be superior to aspirin monotherapy in the reduction of whole blood viscosity at the end of each 4 week treatment period. Study participants will be randomized into 3 groups, and each group will receive each of 3 treatments in the cross-over study. At the end of each individual 4 week treatment period the investigators will determine whether there are differences in low and high shear rate dependent viscosity and investigate the effect of the treatment on peripheral arterial blood flow using pulse volume recordings, ankle brachial index and toe pressures. Subjects will be eligible if they have ankle-brachial index less than or equal to 0.85, or if a patient's blood vessels are calcified, patients will have toe-brachial index less than or equal to 0.6 performed using continuous-wave Doppler.
The 3-month face-to-face Partners in Care intervention will be community-based and community-led by trained community peer educators from these four partnering community organizations. The intervention involves 12 weekly, group lessons with each lesson lasting about 1 and 1/2 hours. Individuals with a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c; average blood sugar levels) greater than or equal to 7% will be recruited for the study because they represent the most at-risk for diabetes-related complications. Over a 3-year accrual period, the community partners will recruit and enroll 150 eligible NHs and PPs, as well as deliver and evaluate the intervention in their respective community settings. The primary outcomes of our study are hemoglobin A1c and self-reported diabetes specific quality of life. Secondary outcomes are cholesterol levels (including HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, and triglycerides), blood pressure, body mass index, and psychosocial adaptation.
A Multi-center, Double Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group Phase IIa Study of MLR-1023 in Adult Subjects With Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of RTA 402 in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with type 2 diabetes in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study when this compound is administered once daily for 16 weeks in an intrapatient dose escalation design.
The main objective is to study the epigenetic contribution to the pathophysiology of diabetic nephropathy in Qatari population.
To assess the hypothesis that Charcot foot is associated with more vascular complications compared to matched diabetic patients without Charcot foot and to classify patients with Charcot foot according to the human genetic classification of the Qatari population.
Long-term additive prognostic value of heterogeneity myocardial perfusion imaging of SPECT over clinical and ischemia in high-risk diabetic patients
The proposed study is designed to evaluate (i) the effects of saxagliptin, with or without acarbose, on gastric emptying, postprandial glycaemia, and plasma intact GLP-1, insulin, C-peptide and glucagon after a high carbohydrate meal, and (ii) whether the magnitude of the effects of saxagliptin and/or acarbose is related to the rate of gastric emptying, in patients with type 2 diabetes.
