Filter by:We are doing this study to learn more about how tirzepatide may help fight chronic kidney disease in people with obesity with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D). The study will last about 56 weeks and include up to 12 visits.
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a progressive chronic condition associated with a high morbi-mortality that has a considerable impact on healthcare resources. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) are incretin mimetics that have been shown to improve glycemic control with a low associated risk of hypoglycemia. Additionally, previous studies have linked the use of GLP-1RA with a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular events and kidney disease progression. Despite these positive results, GLP1-RA´s prescription, following the failure of treatment with metformin monotherapy or dual therapy, remains low in Spain compared to other countries in our milieu. Furthermore, the use of this therapeutic class is not homogeneous across the different autonomous communities in Spain, and, no objective justification for these differences seems to exist. Consequently, there is a need to understand which are the benefits associated with the use of GLP-1RA, versus intensification with other oral agents, in real-life conditions. In this study, the impact of the use of GLP-1RA on clinical outcomes such as all-cause mortality, cardiovascular and renal outcomes as well as severe hypoglycemia will be evaluated based on the analysis of longitudinal databases that collect the variables of interest generated in a real-life scenario. In addition, both persistence and adherence to treatment in patients treated with GLP-1RA and its impact on the clinical outcomes of interest will be studied. Finally, therapeutic inertia will be analyzed. All these data will contribute to generating cost-effective strategies aimed at improving health outcomes among T2D patients in our setting, reinforcing persistence and adherence to the prescribed treatment, and reducing therapeutic inertia in this group of patients. Since the use of GLP-1RA versus intensification with other oral agents has been associated with better glycemic control, and, when compared to intensification with basal insulin, with a lower incidence of severe hypoglycemia, we hypothesized that T2D adults treated with GLP-1RA would present a lower incidence of cardiovascular and renal outcomes and fewer hospitalizations due to severe hypoglycemia events as well as a decreased all-cause mortality. On the other hand, patients on GLP-1RA who would present greater persistence and adherence to treatment should experience fewer cardiovascular and renal outcomes and lower mortality compared to those with less persistence and adherence. Finally, it is possible that the type of GLP-1RA and the mode of administration, weekly versus daily, may influence adherence, persistence and therapeutic inertia in this group of patients.
The current protocol plans to enroll participants with youth-onset Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) as well as obese and lean controls from the Renal-HEIR - Renal Hemodynamics, Energetics and Insulin Resistance in Youth Onset Type 2 Diabetes Study (n=100) [COMIRB #16-1752] in a prospective investigation that seeks to 1) define the changes in kidney function by gold standard techniques and energetics by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in adolescents with and without T2D as they transition to young adulthood; 2) quantify kidney oxidative metabolism by 11C-acetate Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in a subset of participants who are ≥18 years of age with youth-onset T2D and/or obesity; 3) determine peripheral arterial stiffness by SphygmoCor. Mechanistic insight will be provided by transcriptomic analyses of repeat biopsies 3-years after their initial biopsy for eligible participants with youth-onset T2D, as well as molecular analysis of tissue obtained from J-wire endovascular biopsies. This study will also leverage this well-characterized cohort of youths to define youth-onset T2D-related changes in brain morphology and function by structural MRI and resting-state functional MRI and through the assessment of cognitive function (fluid and crystallized intelligence) using the NIH Toolbox Cognitive Battery (NIHTB-CB), as an exploratory objective. All enrollees in Renal-HEIR have consented to be contacted for future research opportunities.
The purpose of the study is to gather input about the value of adding a newly developed diabetes self-management program to an existing diabetes self-management program. Participants will self-identify as African-American/Black with type 2 diabetes, and prescribed a diabetes medication. Participants can expect to be in the study for 6 months.
This trial was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the dialogue-based online intervention covivio, which was designed to improve diabetes self-management in patients with type 2 diabetes. The study aims to test the hypothesis that covivio has a greater positive impact on glycemic control than treatment as usual. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus will be randomized and allocated to either an intervention group, receiving covivio in addition to treatment as usual, or a control group, which receives only treatment as usual. The primary endpoint is the HbA1c value six month after baseline.
Background: Communication of information about risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) alone has not been associated with changes in habitual behaviors among individuals of European ancestry. In contrast, the use of wearable devices that monitor physical activity (PA) has been associated with changes in behavior in some studies. It is uncertain whether risk communication might enhance the effects of wearable devices. We aim to assess the effects on wearable-device-measured PA of communicating genetic risk for T2D alone or in combination with goal setting and activity prompts from a wearable device among overweight or obese East Asians. Methods: In a parallel group, randomized controlled trial, a total of 355 overweight or obese East Asian individuals aged 40-60 years will be allocated into one of three groups: 1 control and 2 intervention groups. Blood samples will be used for estimation of T2D genetic risk and analysis of metabolic risk markers. Genetic risk of T2D will be estimated based on 113 SNPs associated with T2D among East Asians using an established method. All three groups will receive a Fitbit device. Both intervention groups will be given T2D genetic risk estimates along with lifestyle advice, but one of the intervention groups will additionally use Fitbit's step-goal setting and prompt functions. Questionnaires and physical measurements will be administered at baseline, immediately after intervention delivery, and 6 and 12-month post-intervention following standard operating procedures. The primary outcome is time spent in moderate-to-vigorous PA measured through the Fitbit. Secondary outcomes include other parameters of wearable-device-measured PA, sedentary time, and sleep, body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, five intermediate metabolic risk markers, hand grip strength, self-reported PA, self-reported fruit and vegetable consumption and smoking status, and a list of psychological variables. Discussion: This study will be the first randomized controlled trial using the combination of communication of T2D genetic risk with standard functions of wearable devices in any population. Findings will inform strategies to prevent T2D through lifestyle modification.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and clinical utility of a continuous glucose monitoring device (CGM, Dexcom G6) for the care of patients with type 2 diabetes who are on non-insulin therapies.
In this study NN0113-6856 will be given to humans for the first time. We will be looking into how safe different single doses of the new investigational product NNC0113-6856 is and we will measure its amount as well as the amount of specific parts of the new investigational product in blood. The study will look at the effects of different single doses of NNC0113-6856. This could either be as an oral dose (cohort 1 to 5) or one injection into the vein (intravenous [IV]-cohort). Participant will get the investigational product either as one or two tablets (oral dose in cohort 1 to 5) or as injection into the vein (IV cohort). The study will last for about 6-10 weeks (up to 14 weeks in case of rescheduling for stand-by participants).
The purpose of this study is to learn whether there is a difference in the amount of time glucose (blood sugar) stays within a target range (glucose 70 - 180 mg/dl) when using either continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) or fingerstick blood glucose monitoring (BGM) in people with Type 2 diabetes who participate in the Virta Treatment program.
The purpose of this study is to understand the effects of kidney functional impairment may have on the study medicine (PF-07081532). People with certain level of kidney functional impairment may process PF-07081532 differently from healthy people. PF-07081532 is developed as a potential treatment for type II diabetes. Participants will take the study medicine as a tablet by mouth once at the study clinic and then will stay at the study clinic for about 7 days. During that time, the study team will monitor their treatment experience and take some blood samples to test the level of PF-07081532. This will help us understand if certain degree of kidney functional impairment will have an effect on the study medicine PF-07081532.
