NCT00804986
A multicenter, multinational, randomized,double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Patients with inadequate glycemic control using diet and exercise alone, or in combination with metformin, will be enrolled. The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that LY2428757 given to patients with T2DM inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone, or metformin monotherapy, produces a significant decrease in the mean hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline to endpoint at 12 weeks as compared to placebo. Trial consists of 12 weeks of double-blind treatment and 4-week safety follow-up.
NCT01591525
The purpose of the type II diabetes (T2D) screening study is to improve diabetes care in minority communities by identifying undiagnosed and uncontrolled T2D patients, as well as help patients without a regular primary care physician (PCP) find one within their community. These goals will be achieved first through a glucose measurement. Individuals with a high glucose measurement will be confirmed with a rapid hemoglobin A1c (HgA1c) test. The HgA1c test will tell us about the patients average blood sugar over the past 3 months, which will allow us to immediately diagnose new and uncontrolled type II diabetics. All participants will fill out a survey on healthcare seeking behaviors before glucose testing. All patients who enter the study will receive education on T2D and the value of regularly visiting their PCP, and will be provided a list of PCP currently accepting new patients within a 3 mile radius. Follow-up visits at 4 and 8 months will help us determine the success this community based screening. The investigators hypothesis is that community based screening designed with adequate education and follow-up, and performed by qualified medical professionals will improve diabetes care in minority communities as assessed through hemoglobin A1c levels over 8 months, and in the change in the number patients who visit/obtain their PCP within the study period.
NCT00998712
The purpose of this research study is to look at whether there are differences in blood vessel function, risk for developing diabetes (high blood sugar), lipid (blood fat) levels, and levels of other blood markers between black women and white women who have or do not have gestational diabetes mellitus.
NCT00550979
The purpose of this research study is to look at whether there are differences in blood vessel function, risk for developing diabetes (high blood sugar), lipid (blood fat) levels, and levels of other blood markers in women who have had a pregnancy complicated by diabetes as compared with women who have had a normal pregnancy.
NCT00680706
Heart failure remains an increasing cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States even in the face of recent advances in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. There is an urgent need to reevaluate the treatment of heart failure. Shifting substrate utilization used in energy metabolism from fatty acids to glucose is beneficial to the heart presumably by increasing the efficiency of ATP production. Several new drugs for the treatment of cardiac ischemia work by this mechanism. There is increasing evidence that patients with heart failure may also benefit by the same type of intervention. Patients with heart failure are known to have low serum thiamine levels because of poor dietary intake and increased urinary excretion. Inadequate thiamine will deleteriously shift substrate utilization from glucose to fatty acids. We hypothesize that thiamine supplementation will be beneficial for patients with heart failure by increasing glucose and decreasing fatty acid utilization. This will be initially tested in a pilot double-blinded placebo controlled study of thiamine supplementation in diabetic and non-diabetic patients presenting to the emergency department with acute decompensated heart failure.
NCT01609088
The study will determine whether acute and chronic consumption of a beverage containing erythritol will improve endothelial function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
NCT00491400
The study will compare the effect of atorvastatin to the effect of fenofibrate on endothelial function in patients with diabetes mellitus or the metabolic syndrome.
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.
NCT00215735
Autologous platelet concentrate will enhance the rate of healing of chronic diabetic wounds
NCT00122421
The goal of this study is to investigate a comprehensive provider-focused intervention to improve the quality of care for diabetic patients in a large primary care practice at Brigham and Women's Hospital. This will be accomplished through pharmacist recommendations provided to primary care providers prior to routine scheduled office visits for diabetic patients.
NCT00151749
The purpose of the study is to see how safe and effective and tolerable the use of WelChol® is for type 2 diabetes when added to insulin alone or in combination with other anti-diabetic drugs
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.
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.
NCT00744237
This study will evaluate the effects of nebivolol on glycemic control compared with metoprolol and HCTZ in patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus
NCT02015780
To evaluate the efficacy of fasiglifam 50 mg once daily compared to placebo on glycemic control as measured by glycosilated haemoglobin (HbA1c) over a 16-week treatment period in participants with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 4 or 5 on dialysis.
NCT00851903
This study was the extension of the LANTU\_C\_02761 study named EASIE and identified as NCT00751114 (core study comparing insulin glargine versus sitagliptin in insulin-naïve patients treated with metformin and not adequately controlled). All patients with Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥ 7% at the end of the core study had the possibility to enter this extension study if they met the other inclusion criteria and did not present with any exclusion criteria. The visit 14 of the core study (week 24) was the visit 1 (baseline, week 0) of the extension study which consisted of a 12-week treatment period. The objectives of this extension study were: * To assess the glycemic control (HbA1c \<7%) of a 3-month combination therapy with metformin, insulin glargine and sitagliptin in patients not adequately controlled by a previous treatment with metformin plus either insulin glargine or sitagliptin. * To assess the effect of insulin glargine in combination with sitagliptin on HbA1c level, fasting plasma glucose, 7-point glucose profile, hypoglycemia occurrence, body weight and overall safety.
NCT00360698
To evaluate the efficacy of a single injection of glulisine before the main meal added to insulin glargine plus oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) compared to insulin glargine plus OADs in Type 2 diabetic patients poorly controlled with basal insulin plus OADs.
