NCT05714059
The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the MiniMed 780G insulin pump used in combination with the DS5 CGM in type 1 diabetes adult and pediatric subjects in a home setting.
NCT05560971
The purpose of this study is to understand and determine whether Palmitoleic acid (POA), monounsaturated omega-7 fatty acid (exists in regular diet), improves insulin sensitivity and decreases liver fat accumulation in humans. Unlike others, the study will use POA as a dietary supplement, rather than complex oils, which contain a significant amount of saturated fat palmitic acid. Palmitic acid has known harmful effects on the body. Hence, eliminating palmitic acid from supplementation of POA might increase its benefits. This trial stems from the preclinical discoveries that POA acting as a fat hormone, has beneficial effects on the liver, muscle, vessels, and fat tissue. Supporting this, higher POA levels in humans have been shown to be correlated with a reduced risk of developing type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks. In animals, it has been observed that POA improves sugar metabolism in a number of mechanisms related to the liver and muscle. Based on these findings, the design of this study is a double-blind placebo-controlled trial that tests the effects of POA on insulin sensitivity of overweight and obese adult individuals with pre-diabetes.
NCT04843527
A multi-center, randomized, prospective, non-significant risk study to compare the impact of the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System with and without a food logging smartphone application on reducing time above 180 mg/dL in subjects with type 2 diabetes who are not adequately controlled on their existing oral anti-diabetes medication regimen.
NCT05683392
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess safety of and explore glycemic outcomes with Control-IQ technology 2.0 in adults, children and preschoolers with type 1 diabetes.
NCT04200391
Despite major technological advances, management of type one diabetes mellitus (T1D) remains suboptimal, putting millions of people at risk for immediate and long-term complications. After meals, a mismatch between carbohydrate absorption rate and insulin action typically leads to alternating periods of hyper- and hypoglycemia. A conceptually promising approach to control both problems is dietary carbohydrate restriction to reduce postprandial blood glucose changes and insulin needs. In a prior survey study, the investigators documented exceptional glycemic control (HbA1c 5.67%) and low acute complication rates among 316 children and adults with T1D consuming a very-low-carbohydrate (VLC) diet. Despite these promising preliminary results, the use of VLC diets for T1D remain controversial, because of their restrictive nature and theoretical concerns regarding growth, ketoacidosis and hypoglycemia risks and efficiency of glucagon treatment for hypoglycemia. Glucagon is used as a rescue medication during severe hypoglycemia and increases blood glucose levels by mobilizing liver glycogen stores. If these stores are depleted during carbohydrate restriction, glucagon response may be inadequate and put individuals at risk for refractory hypoglycemia. A physiologic study has shown a blunted but still adequate response to glucagon in n=10 participants after following a VLCD for 1 week. Longer-term studies have not been done. To test the hypotheses that glucagon response remains adequate while following a VLC diet in the longer term, the investigators will conduct a glucagon challenge in participants who are assigned to the VLC arm of a randomized-controlled feeding study in 32 young adults with T1D who will receive a VLC vs a standard diet for 12 weeks. After an overnight fast, twelve participants in the VLC arm will receive IV insulin to lower blood glucose levels to 60 mg/dL, followed by a glucagon injection and monitoring of blood glucose levels and other metabolic fuels.

After meals, a mismatch between carbohydrate absorption rate and insulin action typically leads to alternating periods of hyper- and hypoglycemia. A conceptually promising approach to control both problems is dietary carbohydrate restriction to reduce postprandial blood glucose changes and insulin needs. In a prior survey study, the investigators documented exceptional glycemic control (HbA1c 5.67%) and low acute complication rates among 316 children and adults with T1D consuming a very-low-carbohydrate diet. To test the feasibility of this approach, the investigators will conduct a randomized-controlled feeding study involving 32 adults and adolescents with T1D. Participants will be randomized to receive a very low carbohydrate vs. standard carbohydrate diet. Participants will be in the study for 12 weeks and receive all their meals by meal delivery.They will share continuous glucose monitoring data with the study team and be in close communication to adjust insulin doses as needed. All participants will have a screening visit, an individual or group education session, and 3 study visits to evaluate diabetes control and metabolic health. Some of these visits will have a fasting blood draw. Two of the visits will also comprise additional metabolic studies to assess glucagon response and brain function during hypoglycemia by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Participants will have IV catheters placed and receive IV insulin to drop blood glucose levels to 50 mg/dl for up to 30 minutes. The primary outcome will be HbA1c change from baseline. Secondary outcomes include detailed measures of glycemic variability, metabolic health, and quality of life.
NCT06074601
The goal of this observational study is to develop and validate cell-free RNA-based biomarkers for predicting a variety of adverse pregnancy outcomes in a pregnant person population. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. Can cell-free RNA-based biomarkers predict which pregnant people are at greatest risk of developing adverse pregnancy outcomes (e.g., preterm birth, preeclampsia)? 2. What is the performance of such biomarkers when predicting an adverse pregnancy outcome (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, TPR)?
NCT05463705
This study will test the impact of addressing diffusion of responsibility with and without additional reduction of prescribing burden on SGLT-2i and GLP-1RAs prescribing compared to usual care. Population: MGH primary care physicians caring for at least 2 eligible patients. Eligible patients are individuals age18 years or older with type 2 diabetes and HbA1c \>7.5% and a compelling indication for an SGLT-2i or GLP-1RA (including cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, heart failure, or obesity), who are not already prescribed one of these therapies. Intervention: PCPs will be randomized to one of three arms: 1) intervention to address diffusion of responsibility, 2) Intervention to address diffusion of responsibility with additional simplification of prescribing, 3) usual care.
NCT02302079
The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of ASP8232 in subjects with diabetic macular edema (DME).

NCT05168657
This is a study assessing the feasibility of using the insulin-only configuration of the iLet bionic pancreas with initiation in pump-naïve people with type 1 diabetes in a primary care practice with either in-person training and follow-up (PC-IP) or with training and follow-up via telehealth (PC-TH). As a comparison, the iLet will be initiated by an academic endocrinology practice with either in-person training and follow-up (EN-IP) or with training and follow-up via telehealth (EN-TH).
NCT05703880
This is an observational study, in which data from people in the United States (US) with chronic kidney disease (CKD) together with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are studied. The participants in this study are already receiving the study treatment finerenone as part of their regular care from their doctors. In observational studies, only observations are made without specified advice or interventions. CKD is a long-term progressive decrease in the kidneys' ability to work properly. In people with T2D, the body does not make enough of a hormone called insulin, or does not use insulin well enough. The resulting high blood sugar levels can cause damage to the kidneys. CKD often occurs together with T2D or as a consequence of T2D. Finerenone works by blocking certain proteins, called mineralocorticoid receptors. By doing this, it may reduce damage to kidneys, heart and blood vessels. Finerenone was recently approved in the US and is now available for doctors to prescribe to people with CKD together with T2D. Consequently, there is a need to collect more information about how finerenone is used, its safety and how well it works under real-world conditions. The main purpose of this study is to collect and describe the characteristics of people with CKD and T2D who are receiving finerenone treatment as prescribed by their doctors. To do this, the researchers will collect data on: * general information of the participants such as age or gender * any other disease or medical condition in the participants * other medications used while taking finerenone. The researchers will also collect data on kidney function and possible heart problems to find out how well finerenone works. Additionally, medical problems possibly related to finerenone treatment will be collected to learn more about how safe finerenone is in real-world use. The data will come from US databases Optum Electronic Health Records (EHR) and OM1 Real-World Data Cloud (RWDC). They will cover the period from July 2021 to May 2023. Only already available data is collected and studied. There are no required visits or tests in this study.
NCT05543265
Chronic health conditions affect most older adults. Preventative medicine and risk management strategies, especially when applied earlier in life, are essential to altering the trajectory of a disease and ultimately improving health outcomes. Primary care providers (PCP) often provide most of these services, though younger adults are the least likely to receive primary care. This project leverages a period of high engagement and health activation during an individual's life (pregnancy) to nudge her toward use of primary care after the pregnancy episode. This randomized controlled trial will test the hypothesis that a behavioral science-informed intervention, incorporating defaults and salience, can increase the rates of PCP follow-up within 4 months following a delivery for individual with hypertension, diabetes, obesity. If successful, this intervention could serve as a scalable solution to increase primary care use and preventative health services in a population that currently has low rates of engagement and utilization of these services.
NCT02787785
The MADIT S-ICD trial was designed to evaluate if subjects with a prior myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus and a relatively preserved ejection fraction of 36-50% will have a survival benefit from receiving a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) when compared to those receiving conventional medical therapy. The trial enrollment was stopped in 2018 due to lower than expected enrollment, all subjects enrolled at that time were followed for approximately 5 years.
NCT03818581
The investigators aim to determine the effect of suvorexant on subjective total sleep time (TST) in suboptimally controlled Type 2 diabetics with chronic insomnia in a randomized placebo-controlled trial for 3 months.
NCT05904743
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.

NCT04795531
This study compares insulin icodec (a new insulin taken once a week) to insulin degludec (an insulin taken once daily which is already available on the market) in people with type 2 diabetes. The study will look at how well insulin icodec taken weekly controls blood sugar compared to insulin degludec taken daily. Participants will get their study medicine in an injection pen. Participants will get a pen for weekly injection and one for daily injection. One will be icodec or degludec and the other will be dummy medicine. The treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants and the study staff will not know which active medicine they get. The insulin is injected with a needle in a skin fold in the thigh. The study could last for about 8 months. Participants will have 13 clinic visits and 17 phone calls with the study doctor. At 8 clinic visits participants will have blood samples taken. At 4 clinic visits participants cannot eat or drink (except for water) for 8 hours before the visit. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period.
