Prediabetes Clinical Trials

The overall objective of this 13-month randomized crossover study is to seek evidence demonstrating that daily consumption of peanuts and peanut products improve cardiometabolic, cognitive, and intestinal health in a racially diverse prediabetes population. Read Less

One in three American adults have prediabetes, and up to 70% of adults with prediabetes eventually develop type 2 diabetes. With the high cost of treating diabetes, cost-effective approaches are needed to reduce the incidence of diabetes. One new strategy may be to change when people eat. Studies in rodents suggest that a form of intermittent fasting that limits eating to a short time period each day and involves fasting for the rest of the day (time-restricted eating; TRE) improves blood sugar control and cardiovascular health. Preliminary studies suggest that TRE also improves blood sugar, weight loss, and cardiovascular health in humans. This study will be the first full-scale, controlled feeding trial to determine whether TRE can improve 24-hour blood sugar control, 24-hour blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease risk factors even when food intake is matched to the control group. This clinical trial will also determine whether the benefits of TRE depend on the time of day that people eat. Participants will be assigned to one of three groups: (1) 'Early TRE' (eat between \~8 am-3 pm), (2) 'Mid-day TRE' (eat between \~1 pm - 8 pm), or (3) Control Schedule (\~8 am - 8 pm) for 8 weeks. All food will be provided and matched between groups. Read Less

The goal of this 26 week randomized controlled clinical trial is to learn if using a real time continuous glucose monitor (CGM) in a healthy lifestyle program for adults with prediabetes at the YMCA can improve glucose levels, dietary habits and physical activity The main questions it aims to answer is * Does use of a CGM improve the percent of time spent with glucose values between 70-140 mg/dl * Does use of a CGM improve nutritional habits as measured by Picture Your Plate (PYP) score * Does use of a CGM improve physical activity as measured by International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) score Researchers will compare individuals using real time CGM to those not using CGM Participants will be asked to: * attend weekly health coach sessions for 12 weeks followed by 3 monthly sessions. * attend a YMCA class of their choice * fill out questionnaires at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks * have an A1c blood test at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks. * wear a CGM. All participants will wear a blinded CGM at baseline. The intervention group will wear a real time CGM for 24 weeks. The control group will wear a blinded CGM for 10 days at 6, 12 and 24 weeks Read Less

Prediabetes effects 96 million people 18 years of age or older. It is important to identify treatment options to slow or prevent progression to diabetes. It is also critical to assess the potential of medications like sodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitors to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and kidney complications, both common and costly complications of diabetes. This is a 12-week, open-label pilot feasibility study assessing the use of empagliflozin in prediabetes. Read Less

Identifying biomarkers of early pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) could facilitate screening for individuals at higher than average risk and expedite the diagnosis in individuals with symptoms and substantially improve an individual's chance of surviving the disease. The investigators propose a longitudinal study of subjects at higher than average risk of PDAC in order to generate clinical data and bank serial blood specimens. Read Less

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effectiveness of Cooperative Extension implementing two delivery methods (group video vs. self-directed) and participant recruitment strategies of the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) to adults in rural communities. Exploratory assessments of implementation facilitators and barriers will be completed to determine strategies that may impact intervention effectiveness and that may support or impede the implementation, dissemination, and effectiveness of Cooperative Extension to deliver the NDPP to prediabetic adults in rural areas.

The goal of this study is to find a new way to make diabetes care better for patients with breast cancer and diabetes who are currently receiving cancer treatment. We will have two groups, the researchers will decide who is in which group. One group will be working with a nurse who is trained in diabetes care while the other does not. This will allow the investigators to see if having a trained nurse as part of the care team can help improve the care the patients receive. Read Less

Mirabegron (Myrbetriq®, Astellas) is a highly specific and well-tolerated ß3 agonist marketed for overactive bladder. This trial will assess the effects of mirabegron on glucose tolerance and adipose tissue in prediabetic patients Read Less

The purpose of this interventional sham-controlled pilot study is to study the effects of using portable air cleaners (PACs) in outpatient adults with prediabetes. The primary aims are to determine the effect PAC's have on glycemic variability and the concentrations of circulating biomarkers of inflammation. Read Less

This project uses both transcriptomic- and genomic-level data to identify mechanisms of individual responses to glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in Mexican-Americans with prediabetes. The GLP-1 hormone is essential for glucose reduction, weight loss, cardiovascular risk reduction, and renal protection. Newly discovered mechanisms will illuminate causal links between disease genotype and phenotype, which may ultimately guide personalized therapeutic approaches for type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, renal disease, and other related diseases.

This is a single-site, open-label, Phase II, community-based randomized controlled explanatory trial to test the efficacy of a medically tailored meal + intensive lifestyle intervention (MTM + ILI) intervention for adults with food insecurity, HIV, and T2DM or high risk of T2DM, compared with a group that receives usual MTM.

This 12-week controlled diet and weight intervention study seeks to define the molecular pathways that link excess body weight to the development of insulin resistance (IR). Blood, adipose and stool are sampled at three timepoints; baseline, peak weight (4 weeks) and post weight loss to monitor changes in cellular processes. Additionally, direct insulin sensitivity testing, and radiological measurement of visceral fat and intrahepatic fat content is measured at three timepoints to correlate clinical indices with cellular changes.
