Calgary, AlbertaAges 7 years+ - NCT04874012RecruitingPhase 2
Taurine supplement study for blood sugar, fats, and inflammation
This Phase 2 study tests whether taking taurine affects blood sugar control, cholesterol/fats, and inflammation in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help by improving these lab markers, which are linked to long-term health risks.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 30–80 - NCT04791449Recruiting
Exercise program for healing diabetic foot ulcers
This study tests whether an exercise program can help wounds (ulcers) heal faster in people with diabetic foot ulcers. It mainly looks for adults with type 2 diabetes and enough blood flow to the foot, and checks safety and healing progress.
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 20–80 - NCT04783441Recruiting
Continuous glucose sensor study after kidney transplant
This study checks whether using a continuous glucose monitor (a sensor that tracks sugar throughout the day) is helpful and practical for people with a recent kidney transplant and type 2 diabetes on insulin. You may need to wear the sensor continuously and still do finger-stick glucose checks for safety.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04791371Recruiting
Study how fitness and insulin resistance relate to diabetes
This study looks at how low physical activity, insulin resistance in small blood vessels, and cardiorespiratory fitness connect to diabetes and blood sugar control. You may be eligible if you are generally sedentary and fit within the weight range, and if you do not have certain heart, lung, nerve, or medication factors.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 30–55 - NCT04786262RecruitingPhase 3
A study of VX-880 and VX-017 for type 1 diabetes
This study tests two investigational drugs, VX-880 and VX-017, for people with type 1 diabetes who have trouble controlling their blood sugar and have frequent severe low blood sugar episodes. The goal is to see if these drugs can improve blood sugar control and reduce dangerous lows.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT04687215Recruiting
