Diabetes Paid Clinical Trials in Wisconsin

The purpose of this single-arm interventional study is to evaluate the long-term safety, efficacy, and durability of the Symplicity Spyral system in subjects treated with renal denervation. Additionally, long-term follow-up data will also be collected from eligible subjects previously treated in the SPYRAL PIVOTAL-SPYRAL HTN-OFF MED and SPYRAL HTN-ON MED studies. Read Less

This study will look if CagriSema can lower kidney damage in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), type 2 diabetes (T2D) and overweight or obesity. CagriSema is a new investigational medicine. CagriSema cannot yet be prescribed by doctors. The study will compare CagriSema to the 2 medicines semaglutide and cagrilintide, when they are taken alone. It will also compare CagriSema to a "dummy" medicine (also called placebo) without any active ingredient. Participant will either get CagriSema, semaglutide, cagrilintide or placebo. Which treatment participant will get is decided by chance (like flipping a coin). Study doctor will not know which of the study medicines participant will get. For each participant, the study will last for about 35 weeks. Read Less

This phase II trial studies how well lower dose radiotherapy after chemotherapy (Carboplatin \& Etoposide) works in treating children with central nervous system (CNS) germinomas. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. Researchers want to see if lowering the dose of standard radiotherapy (RT) after chemotherapy can help get rid of CNS germinomas with fewer long-term side effects. Read Less

More than 84 million - or 1 out of every 3 U.S. adults - have prediabetes, a condition that if not treated often leads to type 2 diabetes within five years. Average medical expenditures among diabetics are about 2.3 times higher than expenditures for people without diabetes. Physical inactivity and elevated body mass index (BMI) are major risk factors for the disease. Sedentary behavior is becoming increasingly prevalent with the growth of a 'work from home' culture, most recently driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Cross-sectional epidemiologic data report significant associations between high amounts of sedentary (sitting) time and prevalent cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In our pilot study of 15 subjects with sedentary office jobs, 6 months of sit-stand desk use resulted in a 23% improvement in insulin resistance, most substantial in those who decreased daily sitting by over 90 minutes/day. Additional improvements in vascular endothelial function and triglyceride levels were seen without any change in exercise activity, step counts, or body weight. These findings not only corroborate epidemiologic findings on this topic but suggest causality and warrant a randomized control trial. The investigators hypothesize that adult subjects at-risk for diabetes will improve insulin sensitivity, metabolic and vascular (endothelial) health with a sit-stand desk intervention at work (whether in the office or at home), in the context of a randomized, controlled trial. The investigators will randomize 198 sedentary office workers with a BMI≥25 at risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus in a 1:1:1 ratio of three groups: (a) sit-stand desk intervention targeting 2 hours standing per day; (b) sit-stand desk intervention targeting 3 hours standing per day; or (c) control arm over 6 months. The block randomization design will allow for important dose-response analyses. The investigators will objectively quantify standing time, sedentary time, sedentary bouts, daily steps, and exercise activity times using a compact and re-usable accelerometer that adheres to the subject's thigh. This will provide objective assessments of activity levels and sedentary times for 7 full days each at baseline, 3 and 6 months. The device is equipped with an inclinometer to classify posture (sitting verses standing). Read Less

Researchers at MCW have discovered a new pathway that links the type of bacteria present in the intestines to the severity of heart attacks. This discovery of a relationship between intestinal bacteria, bacterial metabolites, and severity of heart attacks means that for the first time, the investigators may be able to determine a person's probability of having a heart attack via non-conventional risk factors. This may provide opportunities for novel diagnostic tests as well as a potential for therapeutic intervention. The link between gut microbiota and the severity of heart attacks may also lead to novel therapeutic approaches (probiotics, non-absorbable antibiotics) to prevent heart attacks from happening. The studies proposed will test the hypothesis that altered intestinal microbiota are mechanistically linked to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. The investigator's objective is to determine whether inflammatory markers in the blood are decreased and endothelial cell function improved by a probiotic in patients with established coronary artery disease. Furthermore, the investigators wish to elucidate a mechanism by which the gut microbiota regulates serum inflammatory markers. 1. Specific Aim 1 will determine the impact of a probiotic on circulating leptin and TMAO levels, conventional risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes (total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, oxidized LDL, triglycerides, C-reactive protein, serum amyloid A, fibrinogen and adiponectin, glucose-dependent- insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), glucagon-like-peptide (GLP-1), glucagon, insulin), and their relationship to the intestinal microbiota (15 representative microbial groups) as non conventional risk factors. Several blood samples will be collected to measure biomarkers. Participants will provide periodic stool samples in order to measure gut bacterial biodiversity. Lastly, endothelial cell function (flow mediated dilation) will be measured in order to assess blood vessel function. 2. Specific Aim 2 will determine the impact of a probiotic on metabolites derived from the intestinal microbiota as candidates for non-conventional risk factors of cardiovascular disease. The relationship between metabolites derived from the intestinal microbiota, endothelial cell function and risk factors for cardiovascular disease identified in Specific Aim 1 will be correlated.

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a drug known as DFMO in people with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Does it reduce stress on the cells that make insulin? * Does it preserve what is left of the body's insulin production? Participants will take either DFMO or a placebo (looks like DFMO but has no active ingredients) two times a day for about 6 months. Participants will have 6 in person visits and 1 phone visit over a period of 12 months. Visits will include blood draws urine collection and other tests. Read Less

The purpose of the study is to learn about the best way to enhance pharmacy-related care for diabetes self-management. This research is being done because we want to improve use of medicines and diabetes management among Black and Hispanic adults with type 2 diabetes and find out which of type of support may improve diabetes self-management for Black and Hispanic adults. Participants will be assigned to one of 4 groups, and will either: * receive care as usual; or, * receive added medicine management support from a pharmacist; or, * receive support from a Community Health Worker (CHW) to address life challenges; or, * receive both the pharmacist medicine management and the CHW support Read Less

This study aims to investigate whether a novel artificial intelligence based screening strategy (AI-Based point of caRe, Incorporating Diagnosis, SchedulinG, and Education or AI-BRIDGE), which allows primary care providers to screen patients for vision-threatening diabetic eye disease in the primary care clinic, improves screening and follow-up care rates across race/ethnicity groups and reduces racial/ethnic disparities in screening.

The goal of this study is to compare two different thresholds for initiation of medical treatment for GDM. Pregnant women diagnosed with GDM will be randomized to either start pharmacotherapy when they have reached at least 20% or at least 40% of capillary blood glucose (CBG) values above the target goal. The investigators hypothesize that a lower threshold of 20% elevated CBG levels, compared to 40%, will lead to lower rates of obstetric and medical complications. Read Less

The goal of this study is to learn whether access to healthy and fresh food, health coaching, and nutrition support intervention can reduce adverse birth outcomes in pregnant women. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does access to healthy and fresh food, health coaching and nutrition support reduce the risk of gestational diabetes or preeclampsia and ultimately improve health outcomes for mothers and their newborns? * Are participants able to successfully utilize the health program? Are participants satisfied and self-equipped to apply the teachings of the program within their lives following their participation in the study? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Participants in the standard of care will be asked to: * Complete surveys * Biometric screenings Participants in the intervention group will be asked to: * Complete surveys * Biometric screenings * Participate in weekly personal health coaching * Receive and consume provided weekly meals. Researchers will compare the standard of care to those who receive the intervention to see the impact of the intervention on clinical outcomes including: gestational weight gain, blood pressure, diagnosis of gestational diabetes, diagnosis of gestational hypertension or preeclampsia, and gestational age at birth.
