INHALE-3 is a Phase 4, randomized controlled trial (RCT) that will randomly assign participants ≥18 years of age with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using multiple daily injections (MDI), an automated insulin delivery (AID) system, or a pump without automation, and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) 1:1 to an insulin regimen of insulin degludec plus inhaled insulin (Afrezza) and CGM or continuation of usual care. The primary outcome of the RCT is at 17 weeks. The RCT will be followed by a 13-week extension phase in which participants in both groups will use the degludec-inhaled insulin regimen.
NCT02915263
The goal of this pilot study is to obtain preliminary data on the magnitude of the treatment effect of IVIG on the neuropathic pain and neuropathy severity associated with treatment induced neuropathy (TIND). The investigators hypothesize that immune globulin, administered intravenously (IVIG), will reduce the pain associated with treatment induced neuropathy and reduce the neuropathy severity. Treatment induced neuropathy in diabetes, is an iatrogenic complications of diabetes. The preliminary data will be used to power a larger treatment trial, and to aid the understanding of the mitigating factors in the treatment response.
NCT03437798
Despite significant improvement in treating periodontal disease (PD) and the identification of multiple risk factors, little is known about the specific contribution of genetics to PD pathogenesis. Several genomewide association studies (GWAS) of PD have been published, but only one reported locus has reached the threshold for genome-wide significance. Epidemiological studies and biological experiments established associations and suggested common pathogenetic pathways between PD and cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes (DM), and osteoporosis. The overall objective is to identify genetic loci for PD as a first step toward a better understanding of PD pathogenesis. In a preliminary study in the Women's Genome Health Study (WGHS), new-onset cases of PD were associated with a family history of myocardial infarction (MI). Further preliminary analyses presented shared phenotypic variation of PD/CVD, PD/DM, or PD/osteoporosis that could be accounted by the whole-genome genetic matrices. Several variants from the GWAS catalog of bone density and family history of MI were found correlated with PD in the WGHS. Based on these findings and the literature, the central hypothesis is that there are common pathogenetic links between PD and these other diseases and that GWAS using the comorbidity case definitions will help identify potential common loci.
NCT05826678
This study aims to understand the use of continuous glucose monitors (CGM) in Asian Americans with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Researchers will compare participants on continuous glucose monitors with participants using fingerstick self-monitoring with the aim of answering the following questions: 1. Check if continuous glucose monitoring is doable and consistent for this group, and see how it affects their quality of life. 2. Estimate how well the health outcomes (glucose and lipid markers) vary over the study period. 3. Understand how social and community factors can impact the use of continuous glucose monitors in this group.
NCT03429543
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an empagliflozin dosing regimen and one dose of linagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes who are aged 10 to below 18 years and are currently taking metformin, insulin or both drugs (DINAMO TM) or who are treatment naïve or not on active treatment after metformin withdrawal (DINAMO TM MONO) . Empagliflozin and linagliptin are both approved for use in adult patients with type 2 diabetes. This study will assess how well empagliflozin and linagliptin work by finding out how these treatments affect blood glucose (sugar) levels compared to placebo (a pill that contains no active drug), in children and adolescents. Empagliflozin and linagliptin are considered investigational products in this study since while they have been approved for use in adults, they have not been approved for children and adolescents due to lack of clinical studies in this specific population. Patients with type 2 diabetes have higher levels of blood glucose (sugar) than patients who do not have this disease. The high level of sugar in the blood can lead to serious short-term and long-term medical problems. The main goal of treating diabetic patients is to lower blood glucose to a normal level. Lowering and controlling blood glucose help prevent or delay complications of diabetes such as heart disease, kidney, eye and nerve diseases, and the possibility of amputation. Empagliflozin is a drug that helps to reduce blood glucose (sugar) levels by causing glucose to be excreted in the urines. Linagliptin works by increasing the production of insulin (a hormone that controls the level of blood glucose) after meals when blood glucose (sugar) levels are too high. This helps to lower blood sugar levels. The subject will either receive one of the active study drugs or a placebo. This study will be double blind; this means that neither the subject, nor the study doctor will know which treatment the subject will receive. Which treatment the subject receives is decided by a computer, purely by chance; this is called a "random assignment". For this study, there will first be a screening visit, followed by a 2-week placebo run-in period (all subjects will take placebo once daily). This run-in period is designed to ensure subjects are able to take the study drugs as described in the study protocol. Thereafter there will be a 26-week treatment phase (week 1-week 26) and a 26-week safety extension period (week 27-week 52). Following this there will be a follow-up visit at week 55. On Day 1 after the placebo run-in phase, the subject will be randomly assigned to receive one of the 3 treatments: empagliflozin 10 mg, linagliptin 5 mg or placebo in a blinded manner. This treatment will continue up to week 14. Then after week 14, the subject will be assigned to receive one of the following 4 treatments: empagliflozin 10 mg, empagliflozin 25 mg, linagliptin 5 mg or placebo in a blinded manner. The drugs assigned after week 14 will be the same drugs as on Day 1 but some subjects will receive a higher dose of empagliflozin. After the completion of the 26-week treatment period, the subject will enter a 26-week safety extension period. The same active treatment that the subject had been assigned to at week 14 visit will be continued. Subjects assigned to placebo on Day 1 will be randomly assigned to receive one of the 3 active treatments: empagliflozin 10 mg, empagliflozin 25 mg or linagliptin 5 mg in a blinded manner. This safety extension period is primarily designed to provide additional information on how well empagliflozin and linagliptin are tolerated. Following the treatment phases, there will be a follow-up visit at week 55 Intervention model description: Eligible subjects with HbA1c of 6.5% to 10.5% at screening will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive empagliflozin 10 mg, linagliptin 5 mg or placebo. HbA1c assessment will be performed at Week 12. All subjects with Week 12 HbA1c \< 7% will remain on previously assigned randomized treatment. Subjects taking empagliflozin with Week 12 HbA1c \>= 7% will be re-randomized in a 1:1 ratio to continue on the low dose treatment (empagliflozin 10 mg) or up-titrate to the high dose treatment (empagliflozin 25 mg). Subjects taking linagliptin or placebo with Week 12 HbA1c \>= 7% will remain on previously assigned treatment. All subjects will get new medication kits dispensed at Week 14 to maintain the blinding. At Week 26, all subjects previously assigned to placebo will be re-randomized in a 1:1:1: ratio to receive one of the active treatments: empagliflozin 10 mg, empagliflozin 25 mg or linagliptin 5 mg. All subjects will get new medication kits dispensed at Week 14 to maintain the blinding.

NCT00385697
The primary purpose of this protocol is to assess the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of MGA031 when administered according to 3 different MGA031 dosing regimens in children and adults with recent-onset (diagnosis within past 12 weeks) type 1 diabetes mellitus. All regimens will be administered as an addition to insulin and other standard of care treatments. Efficacy will be defined primarily by the capacity of MGA031 to markedly reduce typical insulin requirements while maintaining relatively normal blood sugar levels. Other studies involving the study drug use the name hOKT3γ1 (Ala-Ala). MGA031, a humanized monoclonal antibody, is the name used for hOKT3γ1 (Ala-Ala) that is produced by MacroGenics, Inc. The United States Adopted Name (USAN) for MGA031 is teplizumab.

NCT05013008
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have chronic kidney disease (CKD), a long-term, progressive decrease in the kidneys' ability to work properly. When CKD happens in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, a condition characterized by high blood sugar levels, CKD is also referred to as diabetic kidney disease (DKD). FIGARO-BM is an add-on study in which blood draws that were collected in the FIGARO-DKD study are further analyzed. No additional blood draws (also referred to as biological samples) or data will be obtained from the participants, nor will any additional or new study intervention be introduced. No visit or patient contact other than for obtaining the agreement by the patients (also called informed consent) will be required. Inflammation and scarring are both seen as responsible for worsening of chronic kidney disease. There is much information from animal studies that the study treatment finerenone (BAY94-8862) works against inflammation and against scarring (also called fibrosis) in organs such as the kidney. In this exploratory study researchers want to learn more about the study treatment finerenone (BAY94-8862). To find this out, this study will examine substances called biomarkers in blood draws from participants in the FIGARO-DKD study. Biomarkers are used as indicators of biological processes, disease processes or responses to medication. The biomarkers that will be examined stand for inflammation, organ scarring (also called fibrosis), blood vessel function and congestion. The main question of this study is whether there are differences between these biomarkers in the group of participants who received finerenone and the group of participants who received a placebo in the FIGARO-DKD study. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. To answer this question, the researchers will compare the levels of these biomarkers between the two groups at different time points after starting the study treatment. Blood samples for this study will be obtained from FIGARO-DKD study sites with a high number of participants who had been treated with finerenone or placebo for at least 24 months. This information will be combined with other information from biomarker examinations already available in the FIGARO-DKD study.
NCT05726409
Boston Medical Center (BMC) serves many underserved, low-income patients and has developed an innovative strategy to combat food insecurity including a preventative food pantry, a teaching kitchen, and a rooftop farm that provides fresh produce directly to the patients. The presence of this well-established, three-pronged approach places BMC in an ideal position to develop a nutritional education intervention that supports experiential learning in this high-risk population. For this first exploratory study, 75 enrolled participants will be given a free mobile application with recipes designed to build habits. Participants will cook at least three meals weekly for two months using the app. Self-reported survey data and activity on the app will be collected and used to assess the feasibility of teaching cooking skills through a mobile application.
NCT05489172
The investigators will conduct a pre-post study to evaluate the effectiveness of the Hola Bebe intervention on improving self-efficacy for healthy eating and physical activity, and on weight loss among Hispanic women with recent GDM. The Hola Bebe app provides a unique opportunity to provide an effective, culturally tailored lifestyle modification program. The investigators will provide training to health educators at the two participating sites to ensure consistency and fidelity of implementation.
NCT05197829
Continuous glucose monitors can help people with diabetes avoid blood sugar levels that are either dangerously high or low. This study evaluates whether continuous glucose monitoring after discharge from the emergency room can help people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes avoid repeat emergency room visits, achieve improved blood sugar control, and feel less distressed about managing their diabetes.
NCT05579977
The purpose of this study is to find out if PF-07081532 ("the active study drug"), is safe and helps treat people with obesity without diabetes to lose weight, and people with diabetes to keep their blood sugar in good control. Individuals diagnosed with diabetes that are on metformin or individuals with obesity without diabetes will be included in the study. Those participating in the diabetes part of the study, will receive either active study drug, placebo, or an approved treatment called Rybelsus. Those in the obesity part of the study, will receive either active study drug or placebo. The study will last for about 36 weeks except for the first 25% of the participants that enter in which case the study will last for approximately 48 weeks. during this time there will be visits every 4 weeks with phone calls in between.
NCT03875729
The purpose of this study is to determine whether teplizumab slows the loss of β cells and preserves β cell function in children and adolescent 8-17 years old who have been diagnosed with T1D in the previous 6 weeks.. Subjects will receive two courses of either teplizumab or placebo treatment 6 months apart.
NCT03596450
The main purpose of this study is to compare the effects of semaglutide (Ozempic®) with the effects of other treatments for type 2 diabetes in a normal practice setting. The participant will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to one of the following treatment groups: Group 1: semaglutide (Ozempic®) (by injection into skin) Group 2: standard of care antidiabetic medication (oral or injectable). The participant has an equal chance of being in either of the treatment groups. Neither the participant nor the study doctor or study staff will be able to pick which group the participant is in, but the participant will know which study drug the participant has been assigned to. The study doctor will provide the participant with a prescription for the study diabetes medication based on the treatment group the participant is assigned. The participation will last about 2 years.

NCT05025852
The incidence of diabetes in pregnancy is rising, with rates of 1 in 7 pregnancies globally. Metformin is used for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) outside of pregnancy and is now increasingly prescribed during pregnancy. There are some concerns as metformin crosses the placenta and effects on offspring exposed during pregnancy are unknown. Animal and human evidence indicate that metformin may create an atypical in-utero environment similar to under-nutrition which has been associated with adult obesity. This is supported by studies in children of mothers treated with metformin in other populations where an increase in childhood obesity was found at 4-9 years of age. We now have evidence from the MiTy trial, that offspring of metformin-exposed women with T2DM have less large infants and are less adipose at birth, but are also more likely to be small for gestational age (SGA). These effects could lead to benefit or harm in the long-term. Offspring of MiTy mothers are currently being followed up to 2 years. Given that long-term effects may not be evident until 5 years of age, it is imperative to follow these children longer. Goals/Research Aims:To determine whether in-utero exposure to metformin, in offspring of women with T2DM, is beneficial or harmful in the long-term. Research Questions: 1. In offspring of women with T2DM, how does treatment with metformin during pregnancy affect a) adiposity b) growth over time c) metabolic syndrome d) cognitive and behavioral measures:2. What factors predict altered childhood adiposity and insulin resistance in these offspring? Primary Outcome: Body mass index (BMI) z-score. Secondary Outcomes: 1) other measures of adiposity (i.e. skinfolds, 2) growth over time 3) measures of insulin resistance 4) adipocytokines 5)neurodevelopment Expected Outcomes Given these increasing concerns, this study will inform the best treatment for pregnant mothers with diabetes by studying the long-term outcomes of children exposed to metformin during pregnancy.
