NCT00001723
Obesity is a condition affecting one-third off the U.S. population and is a major risk actor for the development of Type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia (increased levels of fat in the blood), hypertension (high blood pressure), and other disorders of the heart and lungs. Individuals with the onset of obesity during childhood or adolescence are at an increased risk of obesity-related, diseases, both during adolescence and later in adult life. African American girls and women are at an increased risk for obesity, and have substantial rates of obesity-related diseases and causes of death. Further, many African American adult women fail to respond to many of the therapeutic approaches used to treat obesity. At present there are no medical therapies proven effective for the correction of severe obesity in children or adolescents. One medication that may have a favorable risk-benefit ratio in pediatric populations is Orlistat (Xenical, Hoffmann LaRoche). Orlistat works by preventing the action of enzymes in the digestive process, interfering with the absorption of approximately 1/3 of the fat eaten in the diet. Xenical appears to be effective for reducing weight and obesity-associated diseases in obese adults. Researchers propose to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Xenical in 12-17 year old severely obese African American and Caucasian children and adolescents who have one or more obesity-related disease (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, sleep apnea, hepatic steatosis, insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, or Type 2 diabetes).
NCT00614783
This is a pivotal study to determine the accuracy of a new device (SCOUT) in screening persons for pre-diabetes or diabetes. SCOUT will be compared to the standard screening test (Fasting Plasma Glucose), using the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test as the reference standard. SCOUT uses a rapid, noninvasive, light-based technology to measure the concentration of chemicals in the skin called advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). Several studies have demonstrated that AGEs accumulate in skin faster in individuals with poor control of blood sugar. Persons will be eligible for the study if they are 'at risk' for diabetes based on their age and other risk factors as defined by the American Diabetes Association.
NCT01932866
The purpose of this randomized, controlled study is to evaluate whether the knowledge of a personalized diabetes risk score affects adherence to a 12-week diet and exercise lifestyle change program in prediabetic patients. The intervention group will receive diabetes risk score results at the beginning of the twelve weeks, and the control group will not receive these results. Both groups will review their baseline and 12-week diabetes risk score results at the conclusion of the program and will be followed for an additional twelve weeks. Attendance rates and changes in weight, BMI, abdominal circumference, blood pressure, HgA1c, fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, and diabetes risk score will be compared between the groups.
NCT01368536
This was a study to assess the safety and efficacy of Valturna and amlodipine or Valturna and chlorthalidone when compared to Valturna alone in patients with stage 2 hypertension and diabetes mellitus 2.
NCT01699737
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of JTT-851 on diabetes as well as to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of JTT-851 in type 2 diabetic patients either treated with metformin or treatment-naïve.
NCT01338870
B2611003 is designed to study how safe and effective an investigational medication (PF-04991532) is in people with Type 2 diabetes. Subjects in the study will receive 1 of 6 treatments for 3 months. One of the treatments will be sitagliptin which is an approved drug, and another treatment will be placebo, which does not contain active ingredient.
NCT00743002
This trial is designed to show the effect of treatment with TT223 or placebo on blood glucose control after 12 weeks of treatment with a 6 month follow-up. TT223 is administered by injection once daily to patients currently treated with Metformin and/or Thiazolidinedione.
NCT01474083
The purpose of this trial is to study the drug levels and biomarkers in the body and the safety of an investigational drug (GK1-399) in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Patients in the study will receive placebo for 1 week followed by 1 of 4 treatments for 6 weeks. One of the 4 treatments will be placebo, which does not contain an active ingredient. The study participation includes in-patient and out-patient days.
NCT01293669
TC-6987 is a selective nicotinic α-7 receptor ligand (open channel stabilizer) that has demonstrated potent anti-inflammatory/antioxidant properties in animal models. Following the oral administration of a 1mg/kg dose of TC-6987 to diabetic mice (db/db mouse) for 7 weeks, numerous metabolic improvements were observed. Specifically, plasma glucose and triglyceride concentrations declined by approximately 30%; Hb1Ac was reduced by nearly 50%; and TNF-α declined more than 60% relative to control db/db mice Therefore, it appears that TC-6987 could prove beneficial in reducing elevated glucose concentrations in diabetic patients as well as in ameliorating organ damage associated with inflammation, oxidative stress and hyperglycemia.
NCT00889486
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of TZP-102 on gastric emptying rate, gastroparesis symptoms and health-related quality of life in diabetic patients with gastroparesis.
NCT01792206
The purpose of this research study is to study the effects of paricalcitol on endothelial function and inflammation, cardiovascular risk factors which are associated with patient populations that have Type 2 diabetes and Stage 3 and 4 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Hypothesis 1: The state of CKD is associated with oxidative stress and inflammation and impaired post ischemic endothelium dependent flow mediated vasodilation which may contribute to atherogenesis. Hypothesis 2: The administration of paracalcitol to patients with CKD will suppress oxidative stress and inflammation and improve endothelial function and thus contribute to an anti-atherogenic action.
NCT01020123
