26 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Primary Objective: To assess the tolerability and safety of SAR438544 after single ascending subcutaneous (SC) doses in healthy subjects and in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients. Secondary Objective: To assess the preliminary pharmacodynamics (PD) and pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of SAR438544 after single ascending SC doses in healthy subjects and in T1DM patients.
The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Glucose Sensor Study group is carrying out a large, randomized clinical trial to assess the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of use of real-time continuous glucose monitors (RT-CGM) as an adjunct to standard meter plasma glucose testing. Although the primary outcome in the \>= 7.0% cohort is differences in HbA1c levels, important secondary outcomes are differences in the percent of glucose sensor values either above or below the target glucose range of 70-180 mg/dl and differences in glucose variability. Prevention of biochemical hypoglycemia is a particularly important outcome in the low HbA1c cohort. Since CGM systems measure interstitial rather than plasma glucose and CGM values differ from simultaneous plasma glucose values by up to 18%, it would be extremely useful for comparative purposes to establish a reference range of sensor values in healthy, non-diabetic control subjects for this study and other future investigations. The objective of this protocol is to establish such reference sensor glucose ranges in each of the 3 devices being utilized in the JDRF study.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune diseases happen when the immune system does not identify part of the body as belonging to it. The immune system then destroys that part as if it were an unknown tissue in the body. In T1DM, the body kills the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Insulin is the hormone that "unlocks" the cells of the body. It allows glucose to enter and fuel them. Special cells in the body called islets make the insulin. Since glucose cannot enter the cells, it builds up in the blood. The body's cells literally starve to death. Children are at risk of developing T1DM and the risk is much higher than other severe, chronic childhood diseases. The only treatments are a careful diet, planned physical activity, and testing blood sugar levels several times a day. The patient must also inject insulin each day or use an insulin pump. There is no cure for T1DM. Insulin injections are considered life support, because going without insulin for just a few days causes the blood to have too much acid in it and that can lead to death. On the other hand, taking too much insulin makes blood sugar levels go too low, and if untreated, can lead to death as well. DiaKine is developing Lisofylline to treat the failed immune system. This is what caused T1DM in the first place and it does not go away. The purpose of this study is to see how safe the study drug is. The study is also going to compare the levels of study drug in the blood and to measure the effect of the study drug on other substances in the blood that are linked to type 1 diabetes. These levels will be measured after the study drug is given as an injection under the skin and an injection into the vein. To date, Lisofylline has been tested when given as an injection in the vein. The investigators hypothesize that Lisofylline will be safe when given as an injection under the skin and in the vein and that levels of study drug will be very similar when given as an injection under the skin and in the vein. The investigators also hypothesize that Lisofylline will have a positive effect on the substances in the blood that are linked to type 1 diabetes.
This study is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this study is to assess longitudinal variation of immune biomarkers in subjects with type 1 diabetes (T1D), type 2 diabetes (T2D) and healthy, non-diabetic subjects over a one year period.
This study aims to understand the heart and blood sugar health benefits of using an adjunctive therapy to lower high insulin levels in people with type 1 diabetes. The investigators will also look at people with a specific type of diabetes called Glucokinase-Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (GCK-MODY) and those without diabetes to help interpret the results. The investigators will use a medication that helps the body get rid of sugar, called and SGLT2 inhibitor, with the goal to reduce the body's insulin requirements. The investigators believe this could lead to better heart and blood sugar health, including a better response to insulin and more available nitric oxide, a gas that helps blood vessels function well. The investigators will compare heart and blood sugar health risk factors in participants with type 1 diabetes, participants with Glucokinase-Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (GCK-MODY), and non-diabetic healthy volunteers under two conditions: high insulin levels typical of type 1 diabetes and normal insulin levels typical of the other two groups.
This is an active- and placebo-controlled, single-site, four-part trial of MK-1092 in healthy adult participants, in participants with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), and in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The primary hypothesis for this study is that at a dose with sufficient safety, the mean maximal glucose infusion rate (GIRmax) after single subcutaneous (SC) administration of MK-1092 in adult participants with T1DM is within an acceptable range.

This study will test dihydrotetrabenazine, or 11C-DTBZ, a radioactive tracer, as an imaging agent in positron emission tomography (PET). That tracer may have the ability to noninvasively measure beta cell, that is, -cell mass (BCM) in humans. For researchers hoping to develop new treatments for diabetes mellitus, a method of measuring BCM is very important. In this study, researchers will determine if patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus, who have almost no BCM, have much less pancreatic uptake of the tracer than do patients without diabetes. Patients ages 18 and older may be eligible for this study. Three groups will be studied: Participants who have Type 1 diabetes, those without diabetes, and those who have been successfully treated with a transplant of the pancreas or pancreas and kidney The study involves three sets of tests that can be done as an outpatient or after being admitted to the hospital. Patients will undergo a medical history and procedures including collection of blood (about 4 teaspoons), pregnancy test for women of childbearing age, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, PET scan, and tests involving arginine and glucose. Arginine is a substance that stimulates insulin release from the -cells. During the procedure, two intravenous (IV) lines are placed into the arms, one to administer arginine and the other to draw blood (about eight samples during 10 minutes). For the glucose test, patients will drink a solution of dextrose, a sugar, and blood samples will be taken over 2 hours from the IV lines. Some patients experience nausea after drinking the solution. Within 48 hours of either test or both, patients will be placed in the PET scan machine and given an injection of the radioactive material through an IV line. Blood samples of about one-half teaspoon will be drawn before the procedure starts and again every 10 seconds for the first 2 minutes and at several intervals, up to 60 minutes. Finally, patients will also an MRI scan, 30 to 60 minutes long, of the abdomen. This test will be down within two weeks of the PET scan. MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to obtain images of body organs and tissues. During the scan, patients will be asked to lie still on a table that slides into the tunnel of the scanner. They will be given earplugs, for the machine can be noisy. Patients who have metal within their body that is not compatible with the MRI machine will be withdrawn from the study.
The overall goal of this study is to develop a new and practical way to prevent the development of Hypoglycemia Associated Autonomic Failure (HAAF), which is unawareness of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) in individuals with diabetes. Previous studies suggest that two medications, naloxone and diazoxide, may increase the body's ability to respond to episodes of low blood sugar and prevent the development of HAAF (or hypoglycemia unawareness). Only healthy subjects are being recruited for this study. The study has three distinct phases. In the first phase, healthy, non-diabetic individuals who are susceptible to developing HAAF are identified. Only these individuals will be studied in the second and third phases. The second phase of this study evaluates the effect of using a naloxone nasal spray versus a placebo nasal spray in improving the body's response to episodes of low blood sugar and in preventing the development of HAAF. The third phase of this study evaluates the effect of using naloxone nasal spray and diazoxide in combination, compared to naloxone nasal spray plus a placebo (for diazoxide) or diazoxide plus a placebo (for naloxone) in improving the body's response to episodes of low blood sugar and in preventing the development of HAAF.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) develops when there is impaired insulin production due to loss of insulin producing cells (beta cells). The amount of insulin that can be produced is imperfectly correlated with beta cell mass (BCM). The development of a reliable method to noninvasively quantify the total amount of insulin producing beta cells would be of great benefit by providing an important endpoint for the development of new treatments of diabetes. The investigators have previously identified a specific marker on islet cells called vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) that the investigators now propose to use in positron emission tomography (PET) scanning to determine islet beta cell mass. The PET radiopharmaceutical 18 F-fluoropropyl(FP)-dihydrotetrabenazine(DTBZ) has been used previously in human subjects without adverse effects. It has shown promise in differentiating type 1 diabetes and non-diabetes. The investigators now hypothesize that repeat PET scans will be reproducible in the same subject. Subjects with normal BCM will be recruited from among normal weight non-diabetic people with plasma insulin levels within the normal range. Subjects with predicted reduced BCM will be recruited from among patients with T1DM who have low or non-measurable insulin levels. Two PET scan measurements will be taken in each subject and the amount of VMAT2 in the pancreas will be and compared for reproducible findings. Biochemical testing will also be performed and compared to PET scans as a potential indirect marker of beta cell mass.
LY2605541 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. This study is designed to understand how the body handles the investigational drug, what effect this investigational drug has on the body, and how much should be given. This study will also measure how much of the investigational drug gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it. The study has 2 parts: Part A will be conducted in healthy participants. Part B will be conducted in participants with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). This study will take approximately 10-14 days spread over 6-20 weeks, not including screening. Screening will be performed within 30 days of the start of the study.
Background: * Vitamin E is an antioxidant that reduces the damaging effects of oxygen in the body. Most American men (90%) and women (96%) do not get enough vitamin E from their diets; however, the amount of vitamin E needed by the body has been studied only in men, not women. In addition, it is unknown whether another antioxidant, vitamin C, helps vitamin E in protecting the body. Because vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, how much body fat a person has could affect the amount of vitamin E needed for protection. Objectives: This study has three arms to examine vitamin E requirements: * To determine the amount of fat required to get the best vitamin E absorption from a meal. * To determine the amount (i.e., best dose) of vitamin E that must be consumed before it can be measured in the blood. * To examine how vitamin E and vitamin C work together in the body, in conjunction with diet and vitamin supplements. Eligibility: * Arms 1 and 2: Women between the ages of 18 and 40 years who have a normal weight and body mass index (BMI) of 27 or less. * Arm 3: Women between the ages of 18 and 40 years who have a normal weight (BMI 27), who are overweight (BMI \> 27), or who are overweight (BMI \> 27) and have non insulin-dependent diabetes. Design: * Arm 1: Five studies, each lasting 1 month with 1 month off between studies (total study = 10 months). Participants will take 500 1,000 mg of vitamin C twice daily for 2 weeks before admission to the clinical center for 1 week. * Study 1: Participants will eat breakfast containing a known amount of fat, after which they will take a vitamin E pill as well as receive an IV injection of vitamin E. Other foods contain only negligible amounts of vitamin E. Blood and urine samples will measure levels of vitamin E and other substances. * Studies 2 5: Outpatient visits will consist of the same tests as in Study 1; however, the amount of fat in the breakfast will range from 0% to 40% in random order. During one of the studies, an adipose tissue biopsy will be collected to determine how much vitamin E is in the tissues. * Arm 2: Five studies, each lasting 1 month with 1 month off between studies (total study = 10 months). Preparation for Arm 2 is the same as in Arm 1. The proportion of fat, muscle, and water in the body will also be measured. * Study 1: Participants will eat breakfast containing 30% fat, after which they will take a vitamin E pill as well as receive an IV injection of vitamin E. Conditions and procedures are the same as in Arm 1. * Studies 2 5: Outpatient visits will consist of the same tests as in Study 1; however, the amount of vitamin E in the breakfast will range from 2 to 30 mg in random order. * Arm 3: Outpatient (2 to 6 weeks) and inpatient studies (4 to 6 weeks). * Outpatient study: Participants will take 500 1,000 mg of vitamin C daily and provide blood and urine samples, as well as an adipose tissue sample. * Inpatient studies: Two vitamin E inpatient studies. Before these begin, participants vitamin C blood levels will be reduced by means of a diet low in vitamin C. Blood tests will determine how quickly vitamin C leaves the body. Once the vitamin C level is reduced, the first vitamin E study will begin. Study A: The procedure for this study is the same as in Arm 2, Study 1. Study B: The procedure for this study is the same as in Study A, except that the participants blood vitamin C levels will be higher.
