Type 2 diabetes clinical trials, in English

Type 2 diabetes trials often set an A1C range, BMI band, and a list of allowed background medicines. Some records study heart, kidney, or liver outcomes rather than glucose alone. Nothing here is a prescription or a substitute for your clinician. Sourced from ClinicalTrials.gov. Not a recommendation to join any study.

Not a traditional drug phase: testing Dapagliflozin for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

HYPOTHESIS: Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) have distinct pathophysiologic etiologies. Therefore, therapeutic interventions designed to correct the specific underlying pathogenic abnormalities in IGT and IFG will be required to optimally prevent the progressive beta cell failure and development of overt type 2 diabetes.

Determinants of Insulin Sensitivity by Age, Sex, Race/Ethnicity, BMI, and PCOS Diagnosis

The study aims to investigate the relationship between fasting insulin and Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) across various demographic factors, including age, sex, race/ethnicity, body-mass index (BMI), and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis. By analyzing these variables, the study seeks to identify potential variations in insulin levels, which could provide valuable insights into the impact of different factors on metabolic health and the development of insulin-related conditions.

Phase 4: testing GLP-1 receptor agonist for Morbid Obesity

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a hormone that helps regulate blood glucose levels through improved insulin sensitivity and release of insulin from the pancreas, control hunger, induce satiety and plays a role in the metabolic health of a person. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have been shown to be effective in achieving weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes while improving blood glucose control.

FAQ: Type 2 diabetes trials

How do I find recruiting Type 2 diabetes clinical trials?

This hub lists 67 recruiting Type 2 diabetes studies from a ClinicalTrials.gov snapshot, rewritten in plain English. Each card links to its NCT record. You can also search the official registry for “type 2 diabetes” at https://clinicaltrials.gov/search?cond=type%202%20diabetes.

What does a Type 2 diabetes trial page on PlainTrials include?

A phase explainer, a plain-English summary grounded in the brief summary, inclusion/exclusion extracted from the public eligibility block, sponsor name, and any central contact the sponsor published. It is not a match to a trial.

Where are Type 2 diabetes studies located in this snapshot?

Sites that appear on these records include Seoul, South Korea; Houston, Texas; San Antonio, Texas; Budapest, Hungary; Shanghai, China. A city on a record is not a guarantee that the site is taking new patients this week — call the NCT contact.

Can PlainTrials tell me if I qualify for a Type 2 diabetes study?

No. Eligibility is decided by the study team using the protocol, labs, and consent. Our “who it is for” list is a readable extract of public inclusion text only.
