Diabetes clinical trials span both type 1 (autoimmune beta-cell destruction) and type 2 (insulin resistance) disease, with growing focus on the overlapping spectrum including latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and monogenic forms. Research priorities include beta-cell preservation in newly diagnosed type 1 patients, weight-loss-independent glucose control, and prevention of cardiovascular and renal complications.
Current trials evaluate GLP-1/GIP dual agonists (tirzepatide analogs), oral insulin formulations, closed-loop artificial pancreas systems, immunotherapy for type 1 delay, SGLT2 inhibitors in non-diabetic heart failure, and stem-cell-derived islet transplantation. Lifestyle intervention trials also remain an active category.
Many trials separate type 1 and type 2 cohorts; baseline HbA1c, duration of disease, and eGFR are common eligibility criteria.
Frequently Asked Questions — diabetes mellitus risk Clinical Trials
How many clinical trials are currently recruiting for diabetes mellitus risk?
ClinicalMetric currently tracks 1 actively recruiting clinical trials for diabetes mellitus risk, sourced in real time from ClinicalTrials.gov. The total number of registered studies—including those not yet enrolling or in active follow-up—is 1. Trial availability changes daily as new studies open enrollment and existing ones reach capacity.
What trial phases are available for diabetes mellitus risk?
diabetes mellitus risk research spans multiple clinical trial phases. Phase 1 studies evaluate safety and dosing in small groups, Phase 2 studies assess preliminary efficacy in 100–300 participants, and Phase 3 trials compare the new treatment against the standard of care in 300–3,000+ patients. Phase 4 post-approval studies monitor long-term outcomes in real-world populations.
How do I find out if I qualify for a diabetes mellitus risk clinical trial?
Eligibility criteria for diabetes mellitus risk trials vary by study and typically specify age range, disease stage or severity, prior treatment history, and specific diagnostic or laboratory parameters. Each listing on ClinicalMetric links to the full protocol on ClinicalTrials.gov, where inclusion and exclusion criteria are documented. Contact the sponsoring site's research coordinator directly to confirm your eligibility—your treating physician or specialist can also help identify the most appropriate trial based on your medical history and current treatment status.
