Electric pulse study for type 2 diabetes with poor drug control
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a new procedure called pulse electric field ablation to see if it can help people with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar is not well controlled by oral medications. The procedure uses a small device passed through the mouth to the upper intestine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have had type 2 diabetes for at least 6 months.
- Your average blood sugar (A1c) is between 7.5% and 10.5%.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 27 and 40.
- You have been taking 2 or 3 diabetes pills for at least 12 weeks but your blood sugar is still not well controlled.
- You are willing to follow the study schedule and avoid blood donation during the trial.

This trial tests a new stem cell treatment (DT2-SCT) for people with type 2 diabetes who need insulin. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and helps control blood sugar better than a placebo.
This trial tests a new injected drug (UBT251) for people with type 2 diabetes who haven't been able to control their blood sugar with diet and exercise alone. It aims to see if the drug can help lower blood sugar levels safely.
This trial tests a new device that uses radiofrequency energy to treat the lining of the upper small intestine in people with type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and helps improve blood sugar control.
This study tests a procedure called pulsENDO therapy, which uses a device placed in the upper part of the gut during a scope procedure to try to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It aims to see if this treatment can help lower HbA1c levels, which indicate blood sugar control, and possibly reduce the need for diabetes medications.
This trial tests whether a procedure that uses heat energy (radiofrequency vapor ablation) applied in the first part of the small intestine (duodenum) can improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It may help lower blood sugar when standard oral medicines are not keeping it in range.
This is a screening study to identify and understand people with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar isn't well controlled, so they can potentially join future diabetes research trials. You won't receive a new treatment in this study—it's about getting to know your health history and seeing if you might be a good fit for upcoming studies.
