Diabetes Clinical Trials in Las Vegas, NV

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.

Strawberries can be categorized as a functional food based on results from several clinical trials in improving cardiometabolic health beyond providing nutrition. Recent studies identify the role of strawberries in improving insulin resistance and risks of type 2 diabetes which urgently warrants further investigation, keeping in view the huge public health burden of diabetes in the US. In this study, the investigators propose to investigate the effects of a dietary achievable dose of strawberries on glycemic control, insulin resistance, and HbA1c (primary variables) and biomarkers of inflammation and endothelial function in a 28- week controlled crossover study.

The design of the Phase 2 clinical trial includes the following elements: Multi-center, two-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate MN-001 (tipelukast) vs. placebo in approximately 40 patients in the U.S. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either 500 mg/day of MN-001 (tipelukast) or placebo for 24 weeks. The co-primary endpoints are (1) change from baseline in liver fat content measured by controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) score at Week 24, and (2) change from baseline in fasting serum triglycerides at Week 24. FebroScan is a non-invasive, quantitative, and accurate measure of liver fat content commonly used in early phase trials to measure treatment response. Secondary endpoints include safety and tolerability and changes in lipid profile (HDL-C, LDL-C, and total cholesterol). Read Less

Inadequate rehabilitation training after amputation can result in poor patient outcomes, injuries, and wasted healthcare resources. This is a serious public health problem due to an aging population and rising prevalence of diabetes (main cause of amputation in the U.S.). In this study, the investigators will examine the effects of external vs. internal attentional focus instruction on learning of a balance task in individuals with existing amputation and those at risk of amputation (older adults with diabetes). With the proposed research, the investigators aim to expand the understanding of motor learning in individuals with and at risk of lower limb loss to provide knowledge that will lead to more effective and efficient rehabilitation.
