Filter by:This is a 24-week multi-center, double-blind, randomized, exploratory study of bardoxolone methyl treatment in 18 patients with Stage 3 CKD (eGFR greater than or equal to 30.0 to less than 60.0 ml/min/1.73m2) and diabetes to ensure at least 15 patients complete the study for evaluation of the primary endpoints.
The incidence of type 2 diabetes in long term care facilities has been approximated at 25% with barriers to treatment including untimely access to a specialist and improper/poor adherence to insulin regimes. This 3 month trial will investigate the efficacy of improving overall glycemic control by using an internet blood glucose reporting system to facilitate bi-weekly consultations between long term care facility patients with type 2 diabetes and an endocrinologist.
The main objective of this study is the Obtention of skin micro-samples collected from healthy volunteers and diabetic patients (type 2 and MODY), intended to be used afterwards to obtain stem cell lines, in the framework of new therapeutic strategies of type 2 diabetes.
Currently, in the U.S., 1 in 3 males and 2 in 5 females born after 2000 are expected to develop diabetes during his or her lifetime. Research has demonstrated that control of blood glucose (BG) reduces the complications of diabetes. As a result, almost half of Americans diagnosed with diabetes, are prescribed finger-stick glucose meters to monitor their BG. The value of this approach is known to be limited by a high rate of patient non-compliance with BG testing, where patients test less often than prescribed. Increased communication between patient and care manager along with feedback has been shown to increase self monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) test compliance. However, this feedback loop is largely absent from the current, episodic model of patient / care manager interaction and not available in existing BG meters given to diabetic patients. In this study, we propose to pilot test a cellular-embedded glucose meter. This device can transmit glucose readings directly over a cellular network to a care management server and then the patient will receive feedback on the screen of the glucose meter.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the impact of sitagliptin therapy in patients with concomitant type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) on improving liver disease based on biopsy results. The effect of sitagliptin on other measures such as hormones modifying insulin release and sensitivity (termed adipocytokines), fat distribution, and biomarkers of cardiovascular risk will also be evaluated.
An increase of blood flow and capillary permeability decrease the impact of an endothelial barrier for glucose and insulin allowing them to reach their target cells in peripheral insulin sensitive organ in the human body. It is well known that insulin-resistant type 2 diabetes patients have an impaired blood flow in skeletal muscle and it is therefore important to elucidate means to reverse this metabolic defect. The investigators have in a recently published study in type 2 diabetes patients used a drug against erectile dysfunction, the PDE-5 inhibitor tadalafil, with known effects on several vascular territories, to increase muscle blood flow in type 2 diabetes patients who were studied after fasting overnight. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that tadalafil, compared to placebo, increases muscle glucose uptake and lowers blood glucose following a mixed meal served to type 2 diabetes patients.
This is an open-label, randomized, forced-titration clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of Technosphere Insulin (TI) Inhalation Powder in combination with insulin glargine versus insulin aspart in combination with insulin glargine in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
The study is being conducted to compare the effect of standard treatment (target LDL-C level: <120 mg/dL (JASGL 2007 target level)) and intensive treatment (target LDL-C level: <70 mg/dL) in the prevention of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in hypercholesterolemia patients with concomitant type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of resveratrol (plant derived food supplement) on inflammatory mediators and insulin resistance at the cellular and molecular level in obese non diabetic and type 2 diabetic subjects in vivo.
Low testosterone production, known clinically as hypogonadism, appears to be common complication of type 2 diabetes, affecting one in three diabetic men. Hypogonadism is known to be associated with decreased muscle mass, increased fat mass, increased inflammation and decreased fertility. In this grant, the investigators propose to study the effects of having low testosterone on 1) insulin sensitivity, the ability of the body to handle glucose 2) fat and muscle mass at specific areas of the body 3) expression of mediators of inflammation in the blood 4) semen quality. This study will compare diabetic men (with or without hypogonadism). This study will also evaluate the effect of treatment with clomiphene (a drug that increases testosterone and sperm production) or testosterone in men with diabetes and hypogonadism. The investigators hope that this project will help us understand the state of hypogonadism in young type 2 diabetic men who are in their peak fertility years and give us insights into treatment of this condition. With the rising prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the young, this project may have implications for public health.
