673 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
INGAP Peptide acetate is the active ingredient of INGAP Peptide Solution for Injection. It is being developed as an antidiabetic agent for the restoration of endogenous insulin secretion in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and in insulin-deficient patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This clinical study is designed to generate additional data regarding the appropriate dose and dosing regimen and to evaluate safety and efficacy in patients with T1DM.
While this study is now completely enrolled, we do hope to develop a "next generation" cord blood based study sometime in early 2009. Please continue to contact us if you have a child with newly diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) who alo has their OWN cord blood in storage.
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.
Type 1 Diabetes carries high burden for affected youth and their families. Advances in insulin therapy and technology have been associated with increased obesity with 1/3 adolescents being overweight/obese. Since obesity runs in families and carries risk for poor outcomes psychologically and medically, the investigators are adapting our successful evidence-based Family Based Treatment for hybrid delivery to improve obesity and metabolic control in the affected youth and improve obesity and related co-morbidities in their parents.
The goal of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of fresh metabolically active allogeneic umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs) for the treatment of new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) and to understand the mechanisms of protection. If proven effective, such a strategy can be used as a therapeutic option for T1D patients and potentially other autoimmune disorders.
The study is a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, Phase 1 dose-escalation clinical trial. The objective of the trial is to determine if IBC adjuvanted with MAS-1 is safe and will favor tolerogenic pathways to restore immunologic balance and reverse type 1 diabetes (T1D) autoimmunity.
This is a prospective, single arm, open-label, single-center pilot study to assess the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of Stem Cell Educator therapy for the treatment of patients with Type 1 Diabetes.
The goal of this trial is to gain initial clinical experience regarding the safety and efficacy of treating type I diabetes in people who have received a kidney transplant by transplanting islets into a new transplant site in the stomach (gastrointestinal submucosa). A total of 6 patients will be enrolled in the study and followed for a period of up to 3 years after the last islet transplant.
The overall purpose of this trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of using oral verapamil in subjects with recent onset T1D in order to downregulate TXNIP and enhance the patients' endogenous beta cell mass and insulin production. The objectives are therefore to assess parameters of beta cell survival (including new biomarkers), insulin production and glucose control and the feasibility of this approach and thereby provide the basis for future, larger/expanded, longer-term verapamil studies and the off-label use of this approved drug for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).
This trial is conducted in Africa, Europe and North America. The purpose of the trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of liraglutide adjunct to insulin treatment in type 1 diabetes.
This trial is conducted globally. The aim of the trial is to confirm the efficacy and safety of liraglutide as adjunct therapy to insulin in the treatment of type 1 diabetes. The total trial duration per subject is approximately 58 weeks.
Hypothesis 1: Treatment with Liraglutide in patients with type 1 diabetes decreases fasting, postprandial and the overall mean glucose concentrations. Aim 1.1: To compare the mean fasting, the mean weekly glucose and the standard deviation of weekly blood glucose concentrations as recorded by continuous glucose monitoring prior to and following 6 weeks and 12 weeks of treatment with 0.6, 1.2 and 1.8 mg of liraglutide daily. In addition, the time spent at glucose concentrations \>150 and 200mg/dl and \<70 and \<40 mg/dl will also be compared. Aim 1.2: To compare the postprandial glucose concentrations following a test meal before and after 12 weeks of treatment with 0.6, 1.2 and 1.8 mg of liraglutide daily. Glucose concentrations will be measured as areas under the curve for the data obtained from the meal challenge. Aim 1.3: To compare HbA1c levels(glycated hemoglobin) before and after 12 weeks of treatment with 0.6, 1.2 and 1.8 mg of liraglutide daily Hypothesis 2: Treatment with Liraglutide in patients with type 1 diabetes decreases postprandial glucagon concentrations and increases postprandial C-peptide concentrations. Aim 2.1: To compare fasting and postprandial glucagon and C-peptide concentrations following a test meal before and after 12 weeks of treatment with 0.6, 1.2 and 1.8 mg of liraglutide daily. Hypothesis 3: Treatment with Liraglutide in patients with type 1 diabetes delays gastric emptying. Aim 3.1: To compare the gastric emptying as measured by acetaminophen absorption before and after 12 weeks of treatment with 0.6, 1.2 and 1.8 mg of liraglutide daily.
This trial will evaluate use of BI 10773/linagliptin once daily (qd) fixed dose combination (FDC) in treatment naïve and metformin treated patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to support approval by regulatory authorities.
Study Primary Objectives: To compare glycemic control, as measured by hemoglobin A1c (A1C), between insulin glargine and 75% insulin lispro protamine suspension/25% insulin lispro as add-on therapies in subjects who failed oral combination therapy with sulfonylurea and metformin. Study Secondary Objectives : To compare the following measures between subjects receiving insulin glargine or 75% insulin lispro protamine suspension/25% insulin lispro: * Incidence of hypoglycemia * Change in weight * Change in serum lipid profile * Percentage of subjects achieving A1C levels ≤7%
The hypothesis of the study is that those obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who do not respond to the FDA approved dose of 120 mcg of pramlintide (Symlin®) 3 times daily with expected glucose control require higher than FDA approved dosage. The primary objective of the study is to determine whether higher doses of pramlintide (Symlin®) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus control glucose better than the FDA approved dose of 120 mcg three times daily. The secondary objectives include proving whether higher dose pramlintide (Symlin®) is more efficacious in causing weight loss and reduction in waist circumference than standard dose pramlintide (Symlin®),to determine whether blood levels of certain hormones correlate with need for higher dose therapy,and to determine whether or not the rate of common adverse effects exceeds the maximum FDA approved pramlintide (Symlin®) dose of 120 mcg three times daily.
The purpose of Part A of this study is to test whether repeated doses of the study drug (GSK1614235) are safe and well tolerated (i.e. do not produce unacceptable side effects) and whether we can obtain some preliminary information as to whether it works in lowering blood glucose levels. We will do this by comparing the effect of the study drug with placebo (no drug present) and against a drug (sitagliptin) known to control blood glucose in the treatment of diabetes. The purpose of Part B of this study is to determine the how the timing of dosing, relative to meals, affects the response to study drug.
The purpose of the study is to determine if repeated daily doses of T0903131 (INT131) Besylate over 4 weeks can lower fasting blood glucose in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multi-Center Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of PHX1149T as Monotherapy in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
This randomized, parallel group study will determine whether the use of episodic, intensive glucose monitoring via the Accu-Chek 360 view blood glucose analysis system has a positive effect on overall glycemic control. Patients will be randomized into either the 'usual care' group, or the 'interventional group' supplemented with the Accu-Chek 360 view blood glucose analysis system. The effect of each treatment regimen on glycemic control will be assessed by measurement of change in baseline HbA1c values at 12 months. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1 year, and the target sample size is 504 individuals.
The purpose of this project is to test the effect of a low carb diet compared to standard carb diet among adolescents with T2D over a 24-week period.
The purpose of this study is to assess the use of once weekly semaglutide injection in inadequately controlled obese adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using FDA-approved hybrid closed-loop therapies.
The underlying hypothesis is that vedolizumab will modify immune cell trafficking in type 1 diabetes, and that this will be enhanced by pre-treatment with etanercept. This study will determine whether there is mechanistic evidence in support of this hypothesis and provide preliminary information about safety, efficacy, and tolerability of vedolizumab with and without pretreatment with etanercept in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D)
A pilot study for individuals with Type 1 Diabetes who are willing to add an SGLT-2i (Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitor) in combination with placebo or a GRA (Glucagon Receptor Antagonist) to their current diabetes treatment regimen. There will be 15 study visits over approximately 14 weeks in this cross-over study design. Treatment "A" consists of an SGLT-2i + GRA for 4 weeks and treatment "B" consists of an SGLT-2i + placebo for 4 weeks. All participants will complete both treatment "A" and treatment "B" with a 6-week washout period in between the treatments. Testing includes 3 insulin withdraw challenges, 3 muscle biopsies, 3 fat biopsies, 3 vascular ultrasounds along with blood collection and vitals.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease that causes a deficit of pancreatic islet beta cells. Millions of individuals worldwide have T1D, and incidence increases annually. Several recent clinical trials point to the need for an approach that produces comprehensive immune modulation at both the local pancreatic and systemic levels. Stem Cell Educator (SCE) therapy offers comprehensive immune modulation at both the local and systemic levels in T1D by using a patient's own immune cells (including platelets) that are "educated" by cord blood stem cells. Tested clinically in more than 200 patients, SCE therapy has shown lasting reversal in autoimmunity in T1D patients, including improved C-peptide levels, reduced median glycated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) values, and decreased median daily usage of insulin. SCE therapy circulates a patient's blood through a blood cell separator, briefly cocultures the patient's immune cells with adherent Cord Blood Stem Cells (CB-SCs) in vitro, and returns the "educated" autologous immune cells to the patient's circulation.
The investigators are interested to evaluate the effect of BKR-017 (colon-targeted 500 mg butyrate tablets) as adjuvant therapy on metabolic control in type 1 diabetes (TID) subjects.
The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that co-transplantation of allogeneic PTG with adult pancreatic islets (derived from same deceased donor) in the IM site in people with Type 1 diabetes with functioning kidney and/or liver transplants is safe, allows islet engraftment, and leads to insulin independence.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) continues to be a disease plagued by hyperglycemia, insulin resistance (IR), and increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) despite advances in insulin delivery and glucose monitoring. Therefore new approaches are needed. Bromocriptine (BC), a dopamine (DA) agonist, has long been widely used for treating Parkinson's disease and prolactinoma. Its recent approval in a quick release formulation, BCQR, for type 2 diabetes (T2D) is an exciting development, representing a novel mechanism for improving IR. BCQR has not been studied in T1D, but it's mechanism of action, mechanistic studies, and preliminary data support the proposed study of possible benefits of BCQR on insulin action, glycemic control, and the vasculature in T1D. This study has received an exemption from the FDA to study BCQR in adults with T1D and an IND approval (131360) to study BCQR in adolescents with T1D. This is a random-order, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of a 4 week intervention. Outcomes will include fasting and postprandial glucose, glycemic variability, insulin dosing, hypoglycemia frequency and awareness, sleep quality, and metabolic hormone levels.
Type I Diabetes is an auto immune disease in which the body's immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. Therefore, children affected by this condition present with high blood sugars. This condition affects 1:400/500 persons worldwide.Type I Diabetes, previously known as Juvenile Diabetes,usually strikes in childhood, adolescence, or young adulthood, but lasts for a lifetime. To date, there has been no treatments that can arrest, or reverse the ongoing beta cell destruction. We hypothesize that GABA, a naturally occurring substance, has the potential to reduce the inflammation and protect the pancreatic beta cells from autoimmune destruction. GAD-alum may contribute to the preservation of residual insulin secretion in patients with recent onset, Type I Diabetes.
The proposed studies describe a randomized trial to evaluate the safety of a new diabetes-suppressive cell vaccine, consisting of autologous monocyte-derived dendritic cells treated ex vivo with antisense phosphorothioate-modified oligonucleotides targeting the primary transcripts of the CD40, CD80 and CD86 co-stimulatory molecules (immunoregulatory DC; iDC). The hypothesis to be tested in this study is that iDC are safe and without toxicity in established type 1 diabetic patients. Fifteen (15) individuals exhibiting fully-established, insulin-dependent type 1 diabetics, without any diabetes-related complications, infectious disease, or other medical anomaly, will be enrolled to establish safety of the approach. 7/15 volunteers will be administered autologous control dendritic cells and 8/15 will be administered iDC. The study is anticipated to be complete by twelve (12) months. Currently, other than a humanized anti-CD3 antibody with considerable side effects, there is no other means to reverse new-onset type 1 diabetes. These studies will be the first ever to employ autologous dendritic cell transfer to suppress an autoimmune disease and to perhaps reverse it early on in the clinical process.
In this study, we plan to examine the difference in effect on blood glucose control in patients who will be on either conventional insulin therapy (i.e. using NPH and Humalog twice daily, injected separately) or on intensive insulin management (IIM-several shots of short acting and Glargine insulin). Those on IIM will be mixing the insulin Glargine with the short-acting insulin analog prior to injecting. The Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) results will be used to monitor blood glucose control over a 6 month period. Twice during the course of the study, a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS-a device the size of a pager that records blood sugar readings every 5 minutes) will be used to record all the changes in the blood glucose levels occurring over a 72-hour period.
