Diabetes Paid Clinical Trials in Florida

To elucidate the mechanisms by which type 1 diabetes-associated genes; IFIH1, TYK2, IKZF4, as well as total genetic risk, impart functional immunoregulatory abnormalities that result in expansion of self-reactive adaptive immune cells, defective regulatory/effector mechanisms in T cells, inflammatory antigen presenting cells, and abnormal immune function in T cells and B cells.

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of VX-880 infusion in participants with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH) and severe hypoglycemia. Read Less

This study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic intestinal re-cellularization therapy in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) inadequately controlled on non-insulin glucose-lowering medications. Read Less

To assess whether holding incretin-based therapy before endoscopy reduces the likelihood of clinically relevant Residual Gastric Volume (RGV). Primary Outcomes: * Residual gastric volume that precludes adequate endoscopic examination * Residual gastric volume that necessitates premature termination of the endoscopy procedure * Need for endotracheal intubation due to stomach contents. * Occurrence of aspiration events requiring extended observation/monitoring, unplanned therapeutics, and/or hospital admission Secondary Outcomes: * Presence of any solid food * Presence of moderate liquid content * Increased RGV(Residual Gastric Volume) defined as any amount of solid content or \> 0.8 mL/Kg of fluid content (measured from the aspiration/suction canister). * Differences in primary and secondary outcomes between different medications Read Less

This is a single-center, prospective, open label study in islet transplant recipients after complete islet graft rejection/loss, defined as stimulated c-peptide ≤0.3 ng/mL. Read Less

Since its inception, the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) has made significant contributions to the field of diabetes, pioneering many of the techniques used in diabetes centers around the world. Through several clinical trials, DRI has demonstrated that diabetes can be successfully reversed as a result of islet cell transplant. Over the years the following protocols in islet cell transplantation have been initiated: 2000/0329; 2000/0196; 2004/0205; 2000/024; 2006/0200; 2006/0508; 2006/0210. All of the studies listed above will be source of study subjects for this study. Approximately 30 subjects are expected to be enrolled and followed in this trial. After islet-cell transplantation in the parent studies, each subject receives maintenance immunosuppressive medications. The purpose of this protocol is to collect additional follow-up for safety and efficacy from subjects with graft function after their completion in their parent study. It is expected that most subjects will retain measurable islet function and, in the islet-alone studies, continue to receive immunosuppressive medications at the time of completing their parent study.

This is a single-center, prospective, open label study in islet transplant recipients following islet graft loss. Read Less

The hypothesis is that humoral and cellular islet-specific responses are an early risk factor for recurrence of autoimmunity and hyperglycemia in simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) recipients independent of alloimmunity. This study will test the hypothesis and will assess their individual and combined predictive value. Read Less

The intervention in this trial is intraocular islet transplantation. A single dose of 1000 - 3000 Islet Equivalents (IEQ)/kg recipient body weight (BW) will be infused into the anterior chamber of the eye through a self-sealing incision in the peripheral cornea. The procedure is projected to take approximately 20-30 minutes. Subject will remain flat on their back for 1 - 3 hours after islet infusion to maximize adhesion of the islets to the iris. Read Less

Stigma due to health conditions increases disease burden and adversely impacts health. The internalization of health-related stigma is associated with impaired mental health and quality of life. The current project will test the effects of a novel, transdiagnostic, group counseling intervention, and peer support, to determine the optimal method for helping patients cope with health-related stigma, reducing its internalization, and enhancing patient quality of life.

This study is to see if the FreeStyle Libre 3 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (FSL3) will help prolong the length of time people with diabetes maintain adherence to glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1/GIP) agonists. Read Less

The goal of this study is to see if directing insulin to the liver will improve the low blood sugar that sometimes happens when injecting insulin in Type 1 diabetes patients. Participants will use continuous glucose monitoring to measure the sugar levels in their blood, and work with the doctor to find the best doses. One group of patients will get the liver targeting insulin, and the other group will use insulin they normally use for treating Type 1 diabetes. The participant will be part of the study for up to 32 weeks. Read Less
