Type 2 Diabetes and Blood Brain Barrier Improvement
open to eligible people ages 40-65
The majority of T2DM adults show thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency which may contribute to impaired function. This study will examine patients with T2DM through brain MRI scans, cognition assessments, blood tests, and questionnaires. Our goal is to see if a thiamine treatment (taking vitamin B1 capsules) can improve function. Patients will be asked to come to UCLA two times three months apart and each visit will last about 2.5-3 hours.

Stage-Based Care Versus Risk Factor-Based Care for Prevention of Cardiovascular Events
open to eligible people ages 55 years and up
TRANSFORM is a prospective, randomized, open blinded endpoint (PROBE), event-driven, pragmatic trial in patients who are at increased risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease but with no known symptomatic CV disease. The trial tests the hypothesis that a Cleerly Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Staging System-based care strategy reduces CV events compared with risk factor-based care.

Shared Decision Making Intervention for Diabetes Prevention in Women With a History of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
Our goal is to test whether shared decision making for diabetes prevention can help women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) who are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM) increase weight loss and adoption of evidence based strategies to lower their risk of incident diabetes.

Test Vicadrostat (BI 690517) Taken Together With Empagliflozin in People With Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and Cardiovascular Disease
Sorry, not currently recruiting here
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.

Metformin, a Drug Used to Treat Diabetes, vs Placebo
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
Metformin is a drug used to treat patients with diabetes. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Metformin along with a low-calorie diet on obese and/or overweight adults with an increased waist measurement. In addition, the study also aims to look at the effect of the drug vs. placebo on quality of life and physical activity.

DMR Using the Revita® in Subjects With Inadequately Controlled Type 2 Diabetes
Sorry, currently not accepting new patients, but might later
The Revita® system is being investigated to assess the efficacy of DMR versus Sham on improvement in Glycemic, Hepatic and Cardiovascular endpoints for patients with Type 2 Diabetes who are inadequately controlled on one or more glucose lowering agents. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of the Fractyl DMR Procedure using the Revita® System compared to a sham. Subjects randomized to the DMR procedure will be followed per protocol till 48 weeks post treatment. Subjects in the Sham treatment arm will be offered cross over to receive the DMR treatment at 48 weeks and will be followed per protocol for 48 weeks post treatment.

T-UP: Engaging Vulnerable Students in Diabetes Prevention
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The goal of this study is to enhance reach and uptake of diabetes prevention among young adults, with a focus on recruiting underserved and high-need students who face additional challenges, including food and financial insecurity. The specific aims are to: 1) Evaluate the efficacy of adolescents and young adults (AYA)-tailored version of the University of California Diabetes Prevention Program (UC DPP) for mitigating type 2 diabetes risk (i.e., weight change) in a pre/post pilot trial. The investigators hypothesize that the AYA-tailored intervention will be effective at producing 5% weight loss from baseline to program completion (at 9-months); and, 2) Assess the feasibility and acceptability of an AYA-tailored version of the UC DPP program. The investigators hypothesize that it will be feasible to recruit the desired number of participants given proposed innovative outreach strategies, and that the AYA-tailored intervention will be deemed acceptable to participants both qualitatively and in regards to their retention in the program at rates similar to the larger UC DPP. The investigators will randomize participants to the AYA-tailored DPP cohort vs control cohort. Control participants will be offered the opportunity to participate in the AYA-tailored DPP in the following academic year. Participants will be organized into groups within their DPP cohort based on their student status and/or place of residence. The intervention will include 19 sessions (18 in-person and 1 on-demand) covering 24 DPP modules; each session is approximately an hour in length and will be moderated by a lifestyle coach. At the end of each session, intervention participants will receive an email/text with a unique link to a brief REDCap survey to ascertain acceptability of the session. Control group will receive access to materials about study habits, alcohol use, and financial literacy. Control group will receive materials via e-mail for participants to review on their own time and will receive acceptability surveys. A research assistant (RA) will meet with control participants via Zoom to explain the materials. Participants will complete baseline and 9-month follow-up assessments. Participants will complete a 30 minute questionnaire via REDCap and height/weight measurements will be collected by a RA. Participants will be asked to self-report weight and physical activity at the end of the fall and winter quarter; data will be collected via brief REDCap survey.

Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study AD/ADRD Project
Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only
The DPPOS AD/ADRD project will address the overarching question: What are the determinants and the nature of cognitive impairment among persons with pre-diabetes (PreD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), who are a high-risk group for cognitive impairment and represent a large fraction of the United States (US) population? This U19 proposal addresses the National Alzheimer's Project Act goal to "prevent, halt, or reverse AD" in the high-risk group of persons with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes, who represent over half of the population aged 60 years and older in the US.
