This trial is testing tirzepatide, a medication that helps control blood sugar levels, in children and teenagers with type 2 diabetes. These participants are already taking other diabetes medications like metformin or basal insulin. Tirzepatide works by helping the body use insulin more effectively and reducing sugar production in the liver. Tirzepatide is a new medication being tested for its effectiveness and safety in people with type 2 diabetes.

This trial tests if combining finerenone and empagliflozin can better slow down kidney damage in patients with CKD and T2D compared to using each drug alone. Finerenone protects kidneys, while empagliflozin lowers blood sugar. Empagliflozin has shown significant improvements in glycemic control, body weight, and blood pressure, and finerenone has demonstrated improved outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes. The study will measure protein levels in urine to assess effectiveness.

This is a non-inferiority patient-centered and pragmatic comparative-effectiveness pregnancy randomized controlled trial (RCT) with postpartum maternal and child follow-up through 2 years of 1,572 individuals with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) randomized to oral metformin versus injectable insulin. This study will determine if metformin is not inferior to insulin in reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes, is comparably safe for exposed individuals and children, and if patient-reported factors, including facilitators of and barriers to use, differ between metformin and insulin. A total of 1,572 pregnant individuals with GDM who need pharmacotherapy will be recruited at 20 U.S. sites using consistent treatment criteria to metformin versus insulin. Participants and their children will be followed through delivery to two years postpartum.

Diabetes technology, such as insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring devices, can help improve glucose control for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), which keeps them at lower risk for diabetes complications, but many Latinx adolescents, who make up the largest marginalized ethnic group of youth with T1D in California, use these devices less often and have less optimal glucose control compared to White youth. In phase 1 of this project, we worked directly with Latinx youth, their families, and diabetes care team members in California to develop DREAM, Device use Reimagined through Education And Mentorship, a virtual peer group (VPG) intervention that will encourage and support the use of diabetes devices in Latinx adolescents with T1D. The goals for phase 2 (intervention) of this project are to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the stakeholder-informed VPG intervention, and evaluate clinical and person-centered outcomes.

This study is open to adults with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. People can join the study if they have these conditions and do not have a history of heart failure. The purpose of this study is to find out if a medicine called vicadrostat, when taken with empagliflozin, helps reduce cardiovascular risk in people with these conditions. The study will compare this combination to a placebo version of vicadrostat with empagliflozin. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group takes vicadrostat and empagliflozin tablets, and the other group takes placebo tablets with empagliflozin. Placebo tablets look like vicadrostat tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take a tablet once per day for 2 and a half years and up to 4 years and 3 months. All participants also continue their medication for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. Participants have an equal chance of receiving the study medicine or placebo. Participants are in the study for up to 4 years and 3 months. During this time, they visit the study site regularly. During these visits, doctors collect information about participants' health and take blood samples. The doctors document when participants experience cardiovascular events. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
