Diabetes Paid Clinical Trials in Louisiana

Finerenone works by blocking a group of proteins, called mineralocorticoid receptor. An increased stimulation of mineralocorticoid receptor is known to trigger injury and inflammation in the kidney and is therefore thought to play a role in CKD. Empagliflozin lowers blood sugar levels by increasing the excretion of glucose from the blood into the urine. In this study, the researchers want to learn how well the combination of finerenone and empagliflozin helps to slow down the worsening of the participants' kidney function compared to either treatment alone. For this, the level of protein in the urine will be measured. The investigators also want to know how safe the combination is compared to either treatment alone. Depending on the treatment group, the participants will either take the combination of finerenone and empagliflozin, or finerenone together with a placebo, or empagliflozin together with a placebo, once a day as tablets by mouth. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. Importantly, the participants will also continue to take their other current medicine for CKD and T2D. The participants will be in the study for up to 7.5 months and will take the study treatments for 6 months. During the study, participants will visit the study site 7 times. The study team will: collect blood and urine samples check the participants' vital signs do a physical examination including height and weight check the participants' heart health by using an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor the participants' blood pressure ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they may be having An adverse event is any problem that happens during the trial. Doctors keep track of all events that happen in trials, even if they do not think the events might be related to the study treatments. Read Less

The main purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of orforglipron compared with dapagliflozin in improving blood sugar control in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with inadequate glycemic control using metformin. The study will last approximately 46 weeks. 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

This is a Phase 4 study with 2 parts: Part 1 (Prevalence Phase) is non-interventional and will assess the prevalence of hypercortisolism in a population with difficult to control type 2 diabetes (T2D) (hemoglobin A1c ≥7.5%) despite receiving standard-of-care therapies. Part 2 (Treatment Phase) is a randomized, prospective, placebo-controlled, double-blind multi-center trial that will assess the safety and efficacy of mifepristone treatment in patients with hypercortisolism who have difficult to control T2D despite receiving standard of care therapies.

A Phase 1/ 2 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Single and Multiple Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of BMF-219, an Oral Covalent Menin Inhibitor, in Healthy Adult Subjects and in Adult Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Among women who experience glucose abnormalities during pregnancy, screening during the postpartum period offers a window of opportunity for early identification of diabetes and prediabetes. The rates of postpartum type 2 diabetes (T2D) screening with an OGTT for women with GDM are not optimal given the majority of women with GDM fail to return for postpartum glucose testing. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems have been recognized as an ideal method of monitoring glycemic control in diabetic patients. CGM has been used in diabetic patients primarily as a management tool allowing a more acceptable and reliable glucose reading and control than self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). There is a need to improve diabetes testing after childbirth in women who experienced gestational diabetes. This will allow investigators to target their efforts to improve the early diagnosis and treatment of diabetes following GDM. No studies conducted to date have not comprehensively examined whether CGM after delivery can be used in women with a recent history to predict their risk of diabetes. This research study is being done to assess the acceptability, feasibility, and accuracy of using a glucose sensor (also known as a continuous glucose monitor or CGM) after childbirth as a diagnostic test that can help identify women who are at risk of developing diabetes after having gestational diabetes and explore its correlation to the standard postpartum oral glucose tolerance test as well as a HbA1c and fructosamine test.

The primary objective of the STRIVE study is to compare two implementation strategies for Diabetes Prevention Program delivery: an in-person health coach strategy (standard 24 in-person sessions at WIC clinics) vs. a multifaceted technology-assisted health coach implementation strategy (12 in-person sessions at WIC clinics supplemented by technology support) on implementation and health-related outcomes in postpartum women.

The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of semaglutide 1mg (Ozempic®) to aid recently postpartum women with dysglycemia and a history of GDM to regress to normoglycemia; thereby filling a gap in efficacious pharmacologic intervention options for clinicians to support postpartum diabetes recovery and reduce future risk of T2DM in young women.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the US general population. Although CVD mortality rates declined for both Black and White populations during the past two decades, they are still higher in Black adults than White adults. There are also persistent disparities in CVD risk factors with higher prevalence of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes in Black compared to White populations. In addition, CVD and risk factors are more prevalent in the residents of Louisiana compared to the US general population. The Church-based Health Intervention to Eliminate Racial Inequalities in Cardiovascular Health (CHERISH) study will use a church-based community health worker (CHW)-led multifaceted intervention to address racial inequities in CVD risk factors in Black communities in New Orleans, Louisiana. The primary aim of the CHERISH study is to compare the impact of two implementation strategies - a CHW-led multifaceted strategy and a group-based education strategy - for delivering interventions recommended by the 2019 American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) Guideline on the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease on implementation and clinical effectiveness outcomes in Black community members over 18 months.

This study is a randomized clinical trial with the primary aim examining the efficacy of a novel integrated solution of a digitally delivered behavioral weight management program tailored for diabetes utilizing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) built into the WW digital platform for adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) for the reduction of HbA1c.

The objective of this study is to assess the effects of Hass Avocados on glycemic control. The investigators hypothesize that Hass Avocado consumption will reduce fasting blood sugar compared to an isocaloric amount of other fruit during controlled feeding. Read Less

This study will conduct a randomized trial among women with gestational diabetes (GDM). Study of Pregnancy And Neonatal health (SPAN), TIMing of dElivery (TIME) is a randomized trial that will recruit up to 3,450 pregnant women with uncontrolled GDM and randomize the timing of their delivery. Women with GDM who are approached for the trial and are found eligible but do not consent to participating in randomization for delivery will be asked to consent for chart review only (estimated additional n=3,000). The primary objective is to determine the best time to initiate delivery for GDM-complicated deliveries (defined as the time when risk of illness and death for the newborn is the lowest) between 37-39 weeks.
