Filter by:Randomized, controlled, multicenter, pragmatic, pivotal trial with open-label extension evaluating the hypothesis that BT-001 an investigational digital therapeutic intended to help patients with type 2 diabetes improve their glycemic control, will lower hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) compared to a control application added to usual care and across a broad range of patients in a real-world setting
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety and efficacy of tirzepatide compared to placebo in children or teenagers with type 2 diabetes taking metformin, or basal insulin, or both. The overall study will last about 60 weeks with up to 14 clinic visits and 6 phone visits. Clinic visits will include blood sample collection, physical exam and questionnaire.
The aims of this pilot study are to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, preliminary impact, and costs of a brief, behavioral intervention delivered remotely by diabetes educators to people with type 1 diabetes and their family members. The purpose of the intervention is to support health-related quality of life for people with type 1 diabetes of all ages and to support the diabetes health-related quality of life of their parents and partners. This pilot study will explore how this intervention works as a supplement to routine medical care in three clinical care settings: an adult specialty diabetes care setting, a pediatric subspecialty diabetes care setting, and for people who receive diabetes medical care from a primary care provider. To maximize data about feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, all participants in the pilot study will receive the intervention and there will not be randomization to a control condition.
The study in the T2DM population is intended to confirm the lanifibranor effect versus placebo on glycemic control and assess a positive effect of the combination of lanifibranor with an SGLT2 inhibitor on glycemic control.
Disturbances in the hypothalamus communication pathways with other regions in the brain and the periphery may represent a potential link between metabolic and cognitive health. The current project evaluates whether enhancing synaptic plasticity of this pathway can improve weight management, insulin sensitivity, and cognitive functions. In recent studies, we were able to show that the human brain is sensitive to insulin with favorable effects on peripheral metabolism and cognition. These brain regions encompass the hypothalamus and its connections to the striatum and prefrontal cortex. We want to investigate whether it is possible to enhance neuroplasticity of insulin-responsive brain regions to suppress the weight gain trajectory and improve dopamine-dependent cognitive functions in people with a high risk to develop type 2 diabetes. For this purpose, neuroimaging tools using high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be implemented to assess synaptic plasticity of a neural network essential for metabolic and cognitive health.
Innovative lifestyle strategies to treat type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are critically needed. At present, daily calorie restriction (CR) is the main diet prescribed to patients with T2DM for weight loss. However, many patients find it difficult to adhere to CR because calorie intake must be vigilantly monitored every day. In light of these problems with CR, another approach that limits timing of food intake, instead of number of calories consumed, has been developed. This diet is called "time restricted eating" (TRE) and involves confining the period of food intake to 6-8 h per day. TRE allows individuals to self-select foods and eat ad libitum during a large part of the day, which greatly increases compliance to these protocols. Recent findings show that TRE is effective for weight loss and improved glycemic control in patients with obesity and prediabetes. However no long-term randomized controlled trial has examined whether TRE is safe and effective for patients with obesity and T2DM. This study is a 6-month randomized, controlled trial that aims to compare the effects of TRE (eating all food between 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm, without calorie counting), versus CR (25% energy restriction daily), and a control group eating over a period of 10 or more hours per day, on change in body weight (%), glycemic control, and cardiometabolic risk factors, in adults with obesity and T2DM.
This research trial will randomize 50 primary care clinics and 354 patients in accordance with their primary care clinic assignment to 2 different glucose monitoring strategies (SMBG vs. CGM) and compare the effectiveness through a pragmatic clinic cluster randomized design, with active glycemic management in a "usual" primary care setting, over the course of a 12 month active study period.
This is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study of the effects of intranasal oxytocin in obese adults with diabetes undergoing bariatric surgery. Subjects will be randomized to receive of intranasal oxytocin or placebo (8 units 3 times daily) for 8 weeks prior surgery. Study visits include screening to determine eligibility, CGM will be connected before and after oxytocin administration, and 1 year post surgery. blood tests including oral glucose tolerance test will be done and fat samples will be taken during surgery. The investigator's hypothesis is that oxytocin administration prior bariatric surgery can induce diabetes remission in patients with diabetes
A closed-loop insulin system, also referred to as the "artificial pancreas" (AP), is made up of an insulin pump, a continuous glucose monitor, and an application communicating between the two to adjust insulin administration based on glucose control. This is meant for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. The McGill Artificial Pancreas (MAP) has been used previously in type 1 diabetes with significant benefits. Though prior studies have shown significant benefit with this system, some challenges still exist. Semaglutide is used in type 2 diabetes and obesity; it is a once-weekly injectable medication that increases levels of a gut hormone called Glucagon-Like Peptide-1, which modifies gastric emptying, suppresses glucagon, and suppresses appetite. Though its use is not approved in type 1 diabetes in North America, it (along with similar drugs) has been used in studies as adjunctive therapy with insulin with benefits on blood sugar control. Similar medications have been used in type 1 diabetes (such as liraglutide and exenatide), but are not as strong in glucose effect even in type 2 diabetes as compared with semaglutide. The purpose of our study is to see if semaglutide administered weekly at the maximum tolerated dose in those with type 1 diabetes will have improved glucose control (as per time in target range from continuous glucose monitoring data) compared to placebo, while using a closed-loop insulin system.
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) continues to increase in the US, with 26.8 million adults carrying a diagnosis. Importantly, T2D is widespread in the Veteran population. This epidemic of T2D also contributes to the staggering rates of cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular mortality. Lifestyle modifications, including increased physical activity, are recommended as first-line therapy for the management of T2D. Unfortunately, patients with T2D exhibit diminished vascular adaptations to exercise. The proposed project will test the overall hypothesis that degradation of the endothelial glycocalyx, a characteristic feature of T2D, precludes shear stress mechanotransduction and consequent exercise-induced vascular adaptations. As such, the investigators pose that restoration of the endothelial glycocalyx via dietary supplementation of glycocalyx precursors will potentiate vascular adaptations to exercise in Veterans with T2D.
