NCT00734591
In studies of Exubera in persons with diabetes, lung cancer occurred in a few more people who were taking Exubera than in people who were taking other diabetes medicines. All subjects diagnosed with lung cancer had a history of smoking and the number of lung cancer cases observed fell within the expected range based on population-based data. There is currently not enough information to determine if any of the observed lung cancer cases were related to Exubera use, therefore, the study is being conducted to further investigate whether Exubera use makes the appearance of lung cancer more likely.
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.
NCT00481897
The Worksite Nutrition Study is 22-week translational study aimed at determining how well a worksite-based nutrition program, as compared to a control group, is able to 1) produce clinically significant weight-loss, 2) improve cardiovascular factors, 3) decrease work absenteeism, 4) improve overall quality of life, 5) improve diabetes control in participants with diabetes, and 6) promote dietary adherence and acceptability. The nutrition program for the intervention group consists of once-weekly group meetings where participants will receive group support and nutrition education on a low-fat, vegan diet.
NCT00276939
The purpose of the study is to assess whether, in individuals with type 2 diabetes, a low-fat, vegan diet improves blood glucose control more effectively than a control diet based on current American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines. The principal measure is hemoglobin A1c. Cardiovascular risk factors and dietary acceptability are also assessed. The study duration is 22 weeks with a one-year follow-up.
NCT00286494
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of alogliptin, once daily (QD), combined with pioglitazone in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus
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.
NCT00201110
The purpose of this study is to test a measurement tool and a new training intervention for problem solving in self-management of high cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in African Americans with type 2 diabetes.
NCT00233311
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether eating a fast food meal (high in saturated fat) will result in greater increases in inflammatory markers than eating a meal with low levels of saturated fat and higher levels of mono-unsaturated fat. This study is a first step in learning about how dietary fat intake can directly impact risk factors for heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
NCT00831194
A clinical trial that uses personal digital assistants (PDAs) to assist in examining the relationship between self reported stress, an objective biochemical indicator of stress (salivary alpha amylase) and self-reported dietary lapse among type 2 diabetic adults who are interested/undergoing in weight loss.
NCT01092390
In this application the investigators describe plans for a randomized controlled cross-over trial to determine the effects of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on urine protein excretion in 30 adults with diabetes (NIDDM) and kidney disease defined by the presence of proteinuria.
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.
NCT01545492
INTRODUCTION: CHIPS-Child is a parallel, ancillary study to the CHIPS randomized controlled trial (RCT). CHIPS is designed to determine whether 'less tight' control \[target diastolic BP (dBP) 100mmHg\] or 'tight' control \[target dBP 85mmHg\] of non-proteinuric hypertension in pregnancy is better for the baby without increasing maternal risk. CHIPS-Child is a follow up study at 12 m corrected post-gestational age (± 2 m) limited to non-invasive examination \[anthropometry, hair cortisol, buccal swabs for epigenetic testing and a maternal questionnaire about infant feeding practices and background\]. Annual contact will be maintained in years 2-5 and contact will include annual parental measurement of the child's height, weight and waist circumference. OBJECTIVE: To directly test, for the first time in humans, whether differential blood pressure (BP) control in pregnancy has developmental programming effects, independent of birthweight. We predict that, like famine or protein malnutrition, 'tight' (vs. 'less tight') control of maternal BP will be associated with fetal under-nutrition and effects will be consistent with developmental programming.
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.
NCT00476931

NCT00215735
Autologous platelet concentrate will enhance the rate of healing of chronic diabetic wounds
NCT00698789
Determine the effect of treatment with INCB019602 administered as an add-on to stable dose metformin therapy in type 2 diabetic subjects on safety and glycemic control.
NCT01163721
This study enrolled participants with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) despite non-insulin antidiabetic therapy in addition to diet and exercise, and would have benefited from additional control of blood glucose levels. The study assessed the metabolic effects of ranolazine, including its effect in lowering glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and lowering glucose while fasting, and following a meal (postprandial). Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive ranolazine or placebo, and were stratified by HbA1c ≤ 7.5% or \> 7.5%. Enrollment was to include no more than two-thirds of participants with baseline HbA1c ≤ 7.5%. Other than glucose values, efficacy endpoint results remained blinded during the study; for safety purposes, the investigator was to be alerted of severe hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. Participants were instructed to maintain logs of their physical activity/exercise (Subject Activity Assessment) and study drug dosing (Dosing Log).
NCT00949442
