Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the participant's preference for treatment with once-weekly dosing of DPP-4 inhibitor trelagliptin versus once-daily dosing of DPP-4 inhibitor alogliptin among the participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are being treated with once-daily dosing of DPP-4 inhibitor.
This is a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group Phase II trial of twelve weeks of KBP-042 administered as daily s.c. injections in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with inadequate glycaemic control while treated with a stable dose of metformin. The trial is planned to be performed in Czech Republic, Denmark, Moldova, Poland, Romania and United Kingdom
Poor medication adherence (MA) among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients had found to be gnarly and devastating (Krass et al 2015; Sharma et al 2014). It was estimated that more than half of the patients failed to achieve recommended glycaemic goals due to nonadherence (García-Pérez 2013; World Health Organization 2003). Furthermore, greater adherence rate was significantly associated with better glycemic control, fewer hospital visits and admissions, and lower medical costs. On the other hand, lower adherence rate was significantly associated with poor medication tolerance, the frequency of medication intake (> 2 times a day), having concomitant depression and negative belief about the medications. Consequently, patients who poorly adhere to medications would take more medications due to the poor glycemic control and development of micro- and macrovascular complications (American Diabetes Association 2013). Such condition would further worsen their adherence due to more complex medications and a greater chance of experiencing drug-related side effects (García-Pérez 2013). This inevitably increases the economic burden and wastage to the healthcare system (Meng et al 2017). Hence breaking the vicious cycle is an urgent call to all stakeholders. Notably, Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) had initiated several interventions in curbing the MA problems at national level. One of those which has been perpetuated and led by pharmacists is "Know Your Medicine" (KYM) Campaign since 2007. The national KYM campaign aims to promote the quality use of medicines through mass communication and group-based approach. The messages conveyed include information on their medication management such as why, how and when to take medicines, reporting adverse drug events, awareness on the rational use of medicines and medications that need special precautions. In specific, assuring and improving medication adherence among patients is one of the important components of the campaign (PSD 2008). In term of improving medication adherence among Malay T2DM patients, a structured group-based intervention (SGBI) called "Know Your Medicine - Take It For Health" with abbreviation KYM-TIGF, was created by the researchers of this study who work at Sarawak Pharmaceutical Services Division in 2016 under the KYM campaign. The KYM-TIGF is a theoretical based, patient empowerment, culturally appropriate and a combination of psychosocial, educational and behavioral intervention. It is a one-off SGBI that aims to improve the medication adherence through the message specially designed with a cross-theoretical framework as recommended by Slater (1999). The model to measure the effectiveness of the SGBI is an integrated model with Theory of Planned Behaviour (Ajzen 1991) as main theory and Information-Motivation-Behavioural Skills Model (Fisher et al. 2006) as supporting theory. The primary outcome of this study is the HbA1c. The secondary outcomes of this study are the medication adherence level as well as the psychosocial variables of the integrated model which include attitude to medication adhere, the subjective norm to medication adherence, perceived behavioral control towards medication adherence, adherence information, adherence skill and intention to adhere.
The RECEDE-CHF trial is a single centre phase IV, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial conducted in NHS Tayside, Scotland comparing empagliflozin 25mg, to placebo in patients with Type 2 Diabetes and mild Chronic Heart Failure with left ventricular systolic dysfunction who are already on a loop diuretic. Renal physiological testing will be performed at two points on each arm to assess the effect of empagliflozin, on urinary volume, compared to placebo. The secondary outcomes are to assess the effect of empagliflozin in addition to loop diuretics on natriuresis, to assess the safety of add-on SGLT2 inhibitor therapy as measured by changes to serum creatinine and eGFR, to assess effects of empagliflozin on urinary protein/creatinine ratio, albumin/creatinine ratio and cystatin C when compared to placebo.
Type 2 diabetes (DM2) is a chronic disease affecting 29 million Americans and a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, and limb loss (Engelgau et al 2004). Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the only intervention that leads to durable DM2 remission ~ 80% of the time (Mingrone et al 2012). Yet, it's broad application is limited by cost, invasiveness, and clinical inertia. Medically reproducing RYGB would extend the benefit of disease remission to the vast majority of DM2 patients using a cheaper, less invasive and more palatable treatment approach. Although all of the mechanisms mediating DM2 remission are not known, it is widely accepted that RYGB induces caloric restriction and enhances meal-stimulated release of a gut-peptide called glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) both of which improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes (Dar et al 2012; Jackness 2013). Caloric restriction can be achieved using OPTIFAST which is a commercially available medical weight loss program that has demonstrated the ability to decrease weight and improve glycemic control (Kirschner et al; 1998). Enhanced meal-stimulated GLP-1 release can be achieved using Liraglutide an FDA-approved once daily GLP-1 analogue that improves glycemic control and induces weight loss. The investigators hypothesize that adding OPTIFAST (caloric restriction) in suboptimally controlled DM2 patients on Liraglutide (enhanced meal stimulated GLP-1 release), Metformin and Lantus insulin will medically reproduce RYGB and lead to DM2 remission, weight loss, decreased medication intensity and improved health related quality of life.
Bariatric surgery has been proven to be an effective treatment of type 2 diabetes and it has highlighted to role of the small intestine in glucose homeostasis. Improvement of glucose homeostasis occurs just a few days after the bariatric surgery, where parts of the small intestine is bypassed, has been performed. Furthermore, conditioned medium from the duodenum and the jejunum from both diabetic rodents and humans are able to induce insulin resistance in normal mice and in myocytes. Hence the hypothesis is that the small intestine secretes factors that are able to induce insulin resistance. This project aims to study how orally ingested glucose is able to induce insulin resistance and if this response differs in patients with normal glucose tolerance, impaired glucose tolerance and in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. To address this question glucose homeostasis will be studied by comparing whole body glucose uptake during a progressively increased oral glucose load with a graded glucose infusion where the blood glucose levels will be kept in the same range as during the oral glucose load in patients with normal glucose tolerance, impaired glucose tolerance and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Previous studied have shown that different metabolites and bile acids could be involved the regulation of glucose homeostasis. Hence, it is possible that the gut regulates metabolites that could be involved in small intestine-induced insulin resistance described above. The aim of this research is to study metabolomics in plasma collected during the oral glucose tolerance test with increasing load of glucose and the graded glucose infusion where plasma glucose level will be held in the same levels as during the oral glucose tolerance test and study the differences in patients with normal glucose tolerance, impaired glucose tolerance and in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The expected results in this study will demonstrate that the gut plays an important role in glucose homeostasis and that this system is dysregulated in type 2 diabetes. More importantly, novel factors derived or regulated from the gut that regulate insulin resistance and glucose tolerance will be identified which could be possible targets for future antidiabetic therapies.
The purpose of this study is to compare LY900014 to insulin lispro, both in combination with insulin glargine or insulin degludec, in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Primary Objective: To determine the bioequivalence of a single dose of the commercial tablet of sotagliflozin (test) compared to the development tablet of sotagliflozin (reference) under fasting conditions in healthy male and female subjects. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the single-dose pharmacokinetics of sotagliflozin and its main metabolite sotagliflozin 3-O-glucuronide following administration of a single sotagliflozin (test) tablet or a single sotagliflozin (reference) table in healthy male and female subjects under fasting conditions. - To evaluate safety and tolerability of a single dose sotagliflozin (test) tablet compared to a single sotagliflozin (reference) tablet administered under fasted conditions in healthy male and female subjects.
This is a multi-centre observational, ambispective study, which will retrospectively and prospectively collect clinical variables and socio-demographic data from medical records of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) initiated with dapagliflozin by general practitioners (GPs) and endocrinologists in real-life setting. It is anticipated that patient recruitment will last 8 months (from Q3 2017 to Q1 2018) and each patient will be followed during the second visit 6±3 months later after the first visit. There are 2 time points: - Baseline data: baseline data are defined as data available within 3 months prior to the first dose of dapagliflozin. In case of presence of multiple data values within baseline period the most recent pre-dose value will be selected - Follow-up data: any post-baseline data will be considered as follow-up but the primary analysis will be focused on data available at 6±3 months after the first visit. In case of discontinuation dapagliflozin, data will be collected at routine visit within 3-month time frame after the last dose
Approximately 3 million Canadians have type 2 diabetes, a condition where the blood sugar levels are too high, uncontrolled blood sugars lead to cardiovascular disease and other complications. Patients with type 2 diabetes are often advised to consume a snack before bed in order to help control morning blood sugar levels. However, scientific evidence for this dietary approach is limited and there is no data to help elucidate what the ideal bedtime snack is. We hypothesize that a high protein, high fat snack with very little carbohydrate, will be an effective bedtime snack for lowering morning glucose without spiking glucose levels in the night. In this study we will determine if a bedtime snack that is high in protein and fat but low in carbohydrate can help improve morning glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes. This information will provide scientific evidence for the potential health benefits of strategically-timed high protein, high fat snack consumption in people with type 2 diabetes.
