New Haven, ConnecticutAges 50 years+ - NCT03942081Recruiting
Imaging test for diabetic foot wounds
This study looks at how images of a current foot wound in people with diabetes can be used to help doctors. It may help improve how foot ulcers are evaluated while you receive usual care.
Iowa City, IowaAges 21–100 - NCT03987308Recruiting
Test shot medicine versus insulin pump for new type 2 diabetes
This study compares a continuous “under the skin” diabetes medicine (called beinaglutide) with an insulin pump (CSII) in people who were recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for controlling blood sugar.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07703345Recruiting
Saliva markers in people with diabetes and gum disease
This study checks whether certain substances in saliva can help detect gum disease in people with type 2 diabetes. It compares the levels of these substances in people with diabetes and gum disease, people with gum disease only, people with diabetes only, and healthy volunteers.
Konya, KonyaAges 18–80 - NCT06969807RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cells for diabetic kidney disease
This trial tests whether a type of stem cell called mesenchymal stromal cells (Amimestrocel) can help people with diabetic kidney disease. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and can improve kidney function.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04024631Recruiting
Study genes and diabetes risk using body measurements
This study looks at how genetic risk relates to developing type 2 diabetes, using information from a biobank and body measurements like weight. It may help researchers better identify who is at higher risk before diabetes starts.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 10–70 - NCT04039763Recruiting
Glucose monitoring for young adults at risk of DKA
This study tests a real-time glucose monitor (RT-CGM) to help young adults with insulin-treated diabetes recognize dangerously high or fast-changing blood sugars. It may help lower the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a serious complication that can lead to urgent care or hospital stays.
LondonAges 18–25 - NCT04039945Recruiting
Early checkup and care program for type 1 diabetes
This study looks at early diagnosis and support for people with type 1 diabetes. You may be invited to participate if a parent or guardian agrees to enroll your child.
MunichAges 2–10 - NCT04096794Recruiting
Smartphone-based research study for people with type 1 diabetes
This study is a multi-site project designed for people who have type 1 diabetes and can use a smartphone app (WeChat or a similar app). It aims to collect research information in a way that’s easier to follow day to day, which may help improve future care for type 1 diabetes.
Changsha, HunanAges Any age - NCT04141878Recruiting
Lifestyle program to help prevent dementia in adults with diabetes risk
This trial tests a structured lifestyle program (more activity and healthier eating) to help prevent or slow memory and thinking problems. It may be helpful if you’re older but not showing major memory impairment, and you can commit to weekly study activities for about 8 months.
Walnut Creek, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT04232631Recruiting
