Filter by:This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of how well blood glucose is managed when a participate wears the investigational SteadiSet™ Infusion Set (SteadiSet device) for up to 14 days post-insertion when compared to a Teflon Control infusion set.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) results from the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing ß cells. Although exogenous insulin is widely available, it is not possible for affected individuals to consistently achieve euglycemia with current technology, and thus they are at risk for devastating long-term complications. This phase II study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of imatinib mesylate as a novel therapy for new-onset T1DM. Imatinib is a first-in-class tyrosine kinase inhibitor. This study will explore the potential role of short-term therapy with imatinib to induce tolerance and possibly lead to a durable long-term remission of T1DM.
This research project will investigate the effects of pramlintide (Symlin) given by continuous subcutaneous (under the skin) infusion throughout the day and night, along with meal doses similar to those injected during conventional pramlintide (Symlin) treatment, delivered using a second insulin pump, in subjects with inadequately controlled type I diabetes mellitus who are already using insulin pump therapy. Study participants will wear two pumps for a four month period, taking insulin in their usual manner and pramlintide (Symlin) in a similar basal/bolus fashion. Continuous glucose monitors will be worn on three occasions during the study to assess blood glucose responses to continuous pramlintide (Symlin) treatment.
