Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess safety and tolerability and determine the pharmacokinetics of subcutaneous single and multiple (up to 12) dose administration of CBX129801 (long-acting synthetic C-peptide) in type 1 diabetes patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine if dietary fat alters insulin requirements in type 1 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to see if a behavioral intervention for adolescents with type 1 diabetes will improve adherence to T1D self-management activities and improve diabetes outcomes. We expect the intervention to improve diabetes outcomes when compared to usual care.
The Artificial Pancreas Project developed by SUPELEC and the University Hospital of Rennes is focused on the evaluation of an original control algorithm that computes appropriate subcutaneous insulin infusion in response to continuous glucose measurements The results during a 24-hour closed-loop period will be compared with those of the open-loop. The implementation of this algorithm named Error Dynamics Shaping (EDS) requires as a preliminary a phase of identification of the parameters of the model (insulin pharmacokinetics and effect on glucose metabolism) followed by a phase of optimization i.e. a personalized adjustment of the damping parameters of EDS. The present study aims to formalize this procedure of identification/optimization of the parameters of the model and controller EDS. They will be determined in type -1 diabetic patients using insulin therapy and under conditions free from disturbances such as those generated by the glucidic meals, i.e. during a period of glucidic fast. Three variables will determine this procedure: blood glucose, insulin concentration and insulin doses.
Transient elimination of B lymphocytes with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody would decrease immune-mediated destruction of beta cells and result in preserved beta-cell function in patients with type 1 diabetes of recent onset.
Hypoglycaemia is a well-known complication of insulin treated diabetes. The counterregulatory response to hypoglycaemia, with glucagon as the most important mediator, is initially diminished within a few years of onset of Type 1 diabetes and subsequently lost and thus increasing the risk of hypoglycaemia. Dipeptidyl Peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors augment the glucagon response to insulin-induced hypoglycaemia in type 2 diabetes. The investigators hypothesize that treatment with a DPP-4 inhibitor in patients with type 1 diabetes will recover the alpha cell response to hypoglycaemia.
The purpose of this study is to test an insulin management system ("Control-to-Range (CTR) system") in an inpatient setting to see if the system is safe and effective enough to test in a future at-home study. The system includes (1) a DexCom Seven Plus Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) device that measures the blood sugar, (2) a laptop computer that determines how much insulin is needed, and (3) an Insulet OmniPod insulin pump that delivers the insulin. The study will include two hospital stays consisting of meals and exercise scenarios. Both hospital stays will be for 24+ hours during the day and night. The study will include about 50 individuals at 7 clinical centers in the United States, France, Israel, and Italy.
The main purpose of the study is to determine the effects of 16 weeks of adjunctive pramlintide or exenatide use on glycemic control in Type 1 Diabetes.
There are many recent advances in insulin treatment of type 1 diabetes, however after a meal sugars are always a concern. There is a drug Exenatide (Byetta) which is FDA approved to treat people with type 2 diabetes which helps correct their glucoses (sugars) after meals. This study is going to test whether this drug can improve the after meal sugars in people with new onset type 1 diabetes. To test this you will be given a dose of exenatide (1.25 mcg) and long acting insulin or inulin alone before the boost. There is also a placebo group (healthy subjects) who do not get any medication before the boost. Insulin levels and other hormones that affect blood glucose as well as your sugar will be measured by a series of blood tests. The role exenatide as compared to insulin alone will be examined to prevent low blood sugars which might occur because of food staying longer in the stomach than usual or due to the suppression of a hormone called glucagon which increases blood sugar. If you qualify you will be given exenatide (Byetta 1.25 mcg) along with insulin or insulin alone. You and the researchers will not know which dose you are taking at any single visit. A total of 20 people in which some will be children aged 12- 18 years will participate, being diagnosed within 3 months of having been found to have type 1 diabetes.
Post-prandial hyperglycemia occurs despite meticulous carbohydrate counting and rapid acting insulin therapy. Furthermore, this occurs even in the setting of the closed loop system. Currently the algorithm used for calculating the glucose-responsive insulin delivery cannot respond in a timely fashion to the glucose absorption resulting from a meal. In diabetes, there is paradoxical immediate post-prandial hyperglucagonemia that results in immediate post-prandial hyperglycemia. Amylin deficiency and/or dysregulated GLP-1 seems to be the etiology. Pharmacologic replacement of these hormones alleviates immediate post-prandial hyperglycemia in diabetes. With this protocol, the investigators would like to optimize treatment of T1DM by physiologic replacement of hormones in addition to insulin and in the process also optimize the insulin algorithm. This is a paired, randomized, and controlled comparison of pramlintide and insulin versus exenatide and insulin Vs insulin monotherapy using the ePID closed-loop system for insulin delivery. The investigators will stratify the study subjects into the following sub-groups of 5 subjects of 22-30 years old, 4 subjects of 18-21 years old, 4 subjects of 16-18 years old. The investigators would also begin the study with the 21-25 year patient sub-group and then transition to the other sub-groups after evaluating all the safety issues. 22-30 year old ones would be considered as an adult subset, 18-21 year olds would be considered pediatric subset according to the guidelines of FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) and 16-18 year olds are considered typical pediatric population. At this time, Spanish-speaking subjects will not be recruited because Medtronic Minimed as yet does not have any literature in Spanish that may used in explaining the study to this group of patients. When in the future Medtronic is able to provide us with the appropriate Spanish literature, the investigators will at that time amend the protocol to include this group of subjects.
