Diabetes Paid Clinical Trials in Arkansas

This is an observational study in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) who will be receiving finerenone. Kidneys filter extra water and waste out of the blood and make urine. CKD is a long-term, progressive, decrease in the kidneys' ability to filter the blood properly. In people with T2D, the body does not make enough of a hormone called insulin, or does not use insulin well enough, resulting in high blood sugar levels that can cause damage to the kidneys. As a result, CKD can occur as a complication of T2D. Finerenone works by blocking certain proteins, called mineralocorticoid receptors. An increased stimulation of these proteins is thought to damage the kidneys and the heart. By lowering their stimulation, finerenone reduces the risk of kidney disease progressively getting worse. Finerenone is available and approved for doctors to prescribe to people with CKD and T2D. Since it has only recently become available for these patients, there is a need for more information about the use of finerenone in the real-world setting. The main purpose of the study is to learn more about treatment patterns in people with CKD and T2D who just started or will start finerenone treatment as decided and prescribed by their doctor as part of their routine medical care. To answer this question, the researchers will collect data on: Clinical characteristics (e.g., history of CKD and T2D, blood pressure, heart health) of the participants Reasons for starting finerenone Reasons for stopping finerenone early How long participants have been taking finerenone (planned by their doctor compared to actual time it was taken) Dosing of finerenone Other medications used while taking finerenone The researchers will also collect data on medical problems (called adverse events) that the participants may have during the study. All adverse events are collected, even if they might not be related to the study treatment. Hyperkalemia, a medical term used to describe a potassium level in the blood that is higher than normal, is of special interest when finerenone is combined with some medications commonly taken to control blood pressure. Researchers want to know how often higher potassium levels occur, and when it leads to: Stopping finerenone treatment too early Dialysis (a medical procedure to filter the blood of extra water and waste) Care in a hospital All data will come from medical records or from interviews study doctors will have with the participants during visits that take place during routine medical care. Participants in the US will be invited to provide voluntary blood and urine samples that could be analyzed later to better understand possible changes in protein or nucleic acid levels over time. Each participant will be in the study for 12 months. This time participating in the study may be shorter if their finerenone treatment is stopped early or the study comes to an end as planned in September 2027. Read Less

We will be directly comparing a high-quality protein diet composed primarily of lean pork loin (PORK) to a lower-quality plant-based protein diet (PLANT) in individuals with prediabetes on muscle and whole-body protein turnover and glucose regulation. Read Less

The main purpose of this study is to determine safety and efficacy of orforglipron compared with insulin glargine in participants with type 2 diabetes and obesity or overweight at increased cardiovascular risk. The study will last approximately 2 years may include up to 27 visits. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of retatrutide in participants with type 2 diabetes in participants who have obesity or overweight (J1I-MC-GZBK master protocol) including a subset of participants who have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (J1I-MC-GSA2). The study will last about 89 weeks and will include up to 24 visits. Read Less

This study will look at how well CagriSema helps people with type 2 diabetes lower their blood sugar and body weight. CagriSema is a new investigational medicine. Doctors may not yet prescribe CagriSema. CagriSema will be compared to a medicine called tirzepatide that doctors may prescribe in some countries. Participants will get either CagriSema or tirzepatide. Which treatment participant get is decided by chance like flipping a coin. Participant will have an equal chance of receiving either drug. For each participant, the study will last for up to one and a half years. Read Less

The purpose of this single-arm interventional study is to evaluate the long-term safety, efficacy, and durability of the Symplicity Spyral system in subjects treated with renal denervation. Additionally, long-term follow-up data will also be collected from eligible subjects previously treated in the SPYRAL PIVOTAL-SPYRAL HTN-OFF MED and SPYRAL HTN-ON MED studies. Read Less

The study will look at how well CagriSema helps people lower their blood sugar and body weight. CagriSema is a new weekly medicine that combines two medicines called semaglutide and cagrilintide. CagriSema will be compared to the two medicines semaglutide and cagrilintide, when they are taken alone. CagriSema will also be compared to a "dummy" medicine without any active ingredient. The study will be done in participants who have type 2 diabetes. Participants will take the study medicine together with the current diabetes medicine (metformin with or without an SGLT2 inhibitor).

The objective of the study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of MiniMed™ 780G system in adult subjects with insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes in a home setting. The combined run-in period and study period will be approximately 135 days long. Read Less

The main purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of orforglipron. Participants will have Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and have inadequate glycemic control with insulin glargine with or without metformin and/or SGLT-2 (sodium-glucose cotransporter-2) inhibitor. The study will last about 46 weeks and may include up to 20 visits. Read Less

Our long-term goal is to transform rural residents' management of T2DM. This study's objective is to determine the effectiveness of an intervention that is scalable and sustainable and promotes patient adherence by mitigating rural food insecure participants' difficulties associated with completing existing interventions. Our specific aims are: Compare the effectiveness of the Healthy Food Delivery Intervention (HFDI) plus standard care and standard care alone to improve diabetes-related outcomes among rural food insecure patients with T2DM. Hypothesis: Compared with standard care alone, patients receiving the HFDI plus standard care will demonstrate improved: H1 glycemic control as measured by HbA1c; H2 cardio-metabolic risk factors: blood pressure, fasting glucose, fasting lipids, and BMI; H3 self-management: self-efficacy, adherence to self-management behaviors, and medication adherence; H4 patient-centered outcomes: diabetes-related distress, diabetes-related quality of life, and diabetes-related complications. Compare the effectiveness of the HFDI plus standard care and standard care alone to improve diet quality among rural food insecure patients with T2DM. Hypothesis: Compared with standard care alone, patients receiving the HFDI plus standard care will demonstrate improved: H1 Healthy Eating Index 2015 (HEI-2015) scores; H2 fruit and vegetable consumption. Compare cost-effectiveness to understand HFDI plus standard care costs in relationship to outcomes in relation to standard care alone. Hypothesis: The HFDI will be cost-effective based on traditional cost per additional quality-adjusted life year gained. Read Less

Health disparities in the Republic of the Marshall Islands are striking, with extremely high rates of type 2 diabetes. Documented prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the Marshall Islands ranges from 20%-50%.This is significantly higher than the global (8.5%) and United States (11%) prevalence. Diabetes doubles the risk of heart disease; is the leading cause of kidney failure, lower limb amputation, and acquired blindness; and reduces life expectancy by as much as 15 years. Diabetes self-management education and support is critical for persons with diabetes. This study aims to conduct a cluster-randomized controlled trial using a wait-list control to evaluate the effectiveness of family model diabetes self-management education and support when delivered in faith-based organizations (i.e., churches) in Marshallese by trained community health workers. The study will be conducted with up to 288 participants with type 2 diabetes and up to 288 of their family members. The primary study outcome will be glycemic control as measured by HbA1c. Secondary biometric measures include: fasting glucose, weight, body mass index, and blood pressure. Survey data will be collected pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, four months post-intervention, and 12 months post-intervention for the intervention arm of the study. The control arm of the study will have two pre-intervention data collections before beginning the intervention. Data will then be collected from the control group immediately post-intervention, four months post-intervention, and 12 months post intervention. Read Less

This study's objective is to conduct a cluster randomized control study that evaluates the effectiveness of F-DSME (Family Model Diabetes Self-Management Education) when delivered in a group setting in Marshallese Faith Based Organizations (FBO). The F-DSME has shown to be effective when delivered in patients' homes, and the proposed research will allow us to determine the F-DSME's effectiveness in a FBO setting. Read Less
