The state of Pennsylvania currently has 26 active clinical trials seeking participants for Type 2 Diabetes research studies. These trials are conducted in various cities, including Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Hershey and Allentown.
Effects of Sitagliptin in Individuals With Genetically Decreased DPP4
NCT04323189
Recruiting
This is a pilot clinical trial to test the hypothesis that during sitagliptin (DPP4 inhibitor), individuals heterozygous for DPP4 loss of function variants will have a reduction in DPP4 activity and antigen, lower glucose after a mixed meal, and higher levels of intact DPP4 substrates compared to during placebo and compared to matched controls.

Brain Health in Youth With Normal Weight, Overweight and Obesity at Risk for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D)
NCT05277558
Recruiting
Investigators propose to study youth across the spectrum of body mass index (BMI) and dysglycemia. This approach will allow investigators to disentangle the relationship of key features of type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk (e.g. obesity) with intermediary physiologic changes (e.g. insulin resistance, inflammation, β-cell dysfunction and dysglycemia) that pose a risk for the brain. Investigators will determine which of these factors are most associated with differences in brain structure and function am... Read More
