A future without Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) starts with you. Get screened! Thanks in large part to T1D family members, we understand T1D as a disease that progresses in three distinct stages. This new definition in conjunction with TrialNet's Pathway to Prevention screening, allows for earlier detection and intervention.

In PRECIDENTD, we hope to learn which diabetes medications work best to reduce the risk of heart and kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes are twice as likely to have heart disease or a stroke compared to someone who does not have diabetes, and they are likely to have heart disease or stroke at a younger age. People with…
We are recruiting volunteers, aged 18-70, for a research study on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liver disease") in people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes because their bodies are resistant to the actions of the blood sugar-lowering hormone, insulin. To do this, we seek to temporarily induce or accentuate insulin resistance in 14…

The intervention lasts 12 months and will be administered via a smartphone app. Participants will…
Kidney transplant extends life, improves quality of life, and reduces healthcare costs. Unfortunately, there are not enough donated kidneys, so many people who need a transplant spend years on the waiting list. Kidneys from organ donors who have hepatitis C virus (HCV) are often thrown away, but these kidneys work well, and hepatitis C can be cured. The…

Participants will be randomly assigned to tegoprubart or standard treatment with tacrolimusat the time of transplant. If you have…
We're conducting a research study on how much insulin is needed to control blood sugar in people who are made temporarily resistant to insulin's effects. Insulin is the main hormone (chemical signal) that the body uses to lower the levels of sugar in the blood. We are interested in looking at insulin levels because we think that lowering insulin…

The purpose of this research is to find out whether it is safe to use a virus to deliver a new gene to the inner ear of people with hearing loss. This is a kind of gene therapy which involves gene transfer. Once the genetic material and vector are surgically administered to you, it is not possible to remove these agents. The study is designed to evaluate…
The purpose of this research study is to see if an investigational drug, BB3, is safe and effective forincreasing the amount of urine that a transplanted kidney will produce. An investigational drugis one that is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). BB3 is agrowth factor-like drug, which means that it can affect cell…

The purpose of this study is to determine if a specific form of Vitamin B known as pyridoxamine helps improve bone strength over one year in women (65 yrs old) with Type 2 Diabetes. We know that people with type 2 diabetes have the lower bone material strength and we suspect this is due to high levels of circulating sugars that build up over time (known as…
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about bone strength in women with type 2 diabetes, and to find out whether an experimental drug called Denosumab may help preserve bone strength. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has become one of the most important diseases of our time. Recent research shows that diabetes has negative effects on bones and…
Acute inner ear hearing loss is the sudden onset of hearing loss, usually in one ear, without any known cause. Acute hearing loss can permanently destroy some of the hair cells (that govern the sense of hearing) and / or hearing nerve in the inner ear.The drug AM-111 has been developed to protect the hearing cells and nerve following sudden inner ear…
