Filter by:Rationale: RAS 130 is an anti-diabetic agent used to lower the blood glucose level in Type II Diabetes mellitus (non-insulin-dependent diabetes) patients with proper diet and exercise. RAS 130 works by restoring proper response to insulin in the body. RAS 130 acts primarily by increasing insulin sensitivity which improves glycemic index. It is presumed that RAS 130 does not cause cardiovascular side effects if it is given to Type II diabetes mellitus patients leading a healthy life style. Specifically, controlling diet is done according to American Diabetic Association & American Heart Association guidelines and also through doing aerobic exercises. Guideline for aerobic exercise is given in the design of the study. Exercise is helpful in controlling body weight which can lower the risk for heart disease. Diabetes itself is one of the compounding factors for heart diseases. Exercise helps lowering the LDL cholesterol and raising the HDL cholesterol which is required to prevent heart diseases and achieve a better quality of life. Purpose: The aim of this study is to prospectively assess and evaluate the cardiovascular side effects and reduction of blood glucose levels in the Type II Diabetes mellitus patients treated with RAS 130, who either met, or failed to meet criteria for diet and exercise.
This is a phase II a, double-blind, randomized, parallel-design, four-week study to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of two different doses of SPP635 in type II diabetic patients with mild to moderate hypertension and albuminuria. The total study duration for patients completing the entire study will be approximately 7 weeks including a 2 weeks Screening Phase, 1 week Wash-out Phase, 4 week Treatment Phase and 1 week Follow-up Phase. All treatments other than certain antihypertensive drugs (which are to be washed-out) with an effect on BP and all antidiabetic treatments must be kept at stable dose during the whole study. A maximum of 50 patients in total is planned to be enrolled.
Although intensive medical treatment of diabetes has clearly been demonstrated to be worthwhile, it has not been a total success in diabetes treatment for a variety of reasons including lack of response to medication. Diabetes has been well demonstrated as a co-morbidity illness of obesity patients. In observation, with exclusion stomach and duodenum of bariatric surgery (gastric bypass), most morbidly obese patients (about 80%) with diabetes had a significant improved of sugar control. Base of this observation, we will try to find out the role surgical intervention (gastric bypass & sleeve gastrectomy) in obese-related diabetes.
A study of different doses of MK-0431 in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus. There have been 3 extensions to the base study (Extension 1: up to Week 52, Extension 2: up to Week 106, and Extension 3: up to Week 158). The primary hypothesis for the study is that In participants with type 2 diabetes who have inadequate glycemic control, after 12 weeks of treatment, a dose-response will be seen across once-daily doses of MK-0431 in lowering hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c).
Background: Treatment targets for cardiac risk factor reduction are not being met. Therefore, there is a need for new strategies to assist patients in meeting these goals. Objective: To determine the amount of any additional benefit on risk factor reduction associated with the consumption of the "dietary portfolio" (a low fat diet with soy, nuts and viscous fibres), above that achieved with medical management in diabetic patients following cardiac surgery. Description: 35 cardiac surgery patients with diabetes will be instructed on how to incorporate the dietary portfolio foods into their diet for four weeks. Changes in blood cholesterol, markers of inflammation, blood sugar control and modifiable risk factors will be assessed after 2 and 4 weeks of therapy. Relevance: Maximizing cardiac risk factor reduction through a combined approach (dietary plus medication) should improve outcomes, reduce rates of re-hospitalization and improve quality of life in diabetic patients after heart surgery.
This is a sixteen-week double-blind active-controlled follow-on and 28-week single-blind extension study for patients who participated in study NK-104-305.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of pitavastatin with that of atorvastatin in patients with type II diabetes mellitus (type II DM) and combined dyslipidemia.
The primary study hypothesis of this study is to determine whether there is a greater percentage of patients achieving a triglyceride level of <200 mg/dL with the combination of simvastatin 20 mg and fenofibrate 160mg than with either simvastatin 20 mg monotherapy or fenofibrate 160mg monotherapy.
The aim of the present study is to investigate the influence of systemic exercise, rosiglitazone administration and combined pharmaceutical and lifestyle intervention on cardiovascular risk factors
Patients with coronary artery disease have an abnormal cardiac metabolism. The hypothesis of this study is that shifting cardiac metabolism from free fatty acids to glucose will improve myocardial ischemia
