Pyruvate metabolism disorder

This study tests a new drug called dorzagliatin in 44 adults with a rare, inherited form of diabetes (GCK-MODY). The drug works by activating a key enzyme to help the body better control blood sugar. Participants will receive both the drug and a placebo at different times to see …

This study tests whether a drug called glycerol phenylbutyrate (RAVICTI®) can reduce fatigue and improve daily life for people with pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) deficiency, a rare genetic condition that affects energy production. About 15 children and young adults (ages 2 to 25) …

This early study is testing a drug called triheptanoin (Dojolvi) in children with pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) deficiency, a rare genetic condition that affects energy production. The trial will enroll 6 children aged 1 to 18 and look at safety, side effects, and changes …

This study tests liraglutide, a drug used for type 2 diabetes, in 50 adults with MODY, a rare genetic form of diabetes. The goal is to see if it improves blood sugar control and reduces stomach issues like nausea. Researchers will also study participants' cells to understand why …

This study tests a virtual peer support program for people with type 1 diabetes and their loved ones across Canada. Participants join small online meetings and larger webinars to share experiences and reduce diabetes distress. The program is designed by researchers who also live …

This study looks at how a supplement called nicotinamide riboside (NR) and a low-carb, high-fat 'ketogenic' diet affect the way the body burns fat and uses energy. Researchers will measure changes in metabolism in 100 overweight or obese adults. Participants will eat a standard d…

This study aims to create a nationwide registry of Indian children with hepatic glycogen storage diseases (GSDs), a group of inherited metabolic disorders affecting the liver and muscles. By collecting genetic, clinical, and outcome data from 250 children, researchers hope to map…

This study investigates whether a person's glycolytic power — how efficiently their body uses sugar for quick energy — can predict muscle growth from resistance training. Healthy adults who have not done structured weight lifting in the past year will take a 10-second all-out cyc…

This study is creating a large digital registry to find and understand rare forms of diabetes caused by a single gene (monogenic diabetes). Researchers will enroll up to 5,000 people in China who were diagnosed with diabetes at a young age and test their DNA. The goal is to learn…

This study follows 36 people with type 1 diabetes who have received a pancreatic islet transplant. Researchers will use continuous glucose monitors to see if a measure called 'Time in Tight Range' can detect early loss of graft function. The goal is to find a simple way to spot p…

This study takes a small sample of skin, blood, or urine from people with diabetes and healthy volunteers. Scientists will turn those cells into stem cells and then into insulin-producing cells in the lab. The goal is to learn more about diabetes and pave the way for future cell-…

This study is collecting information from children and adults with pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency (PDCD), a rare genetic disorder that affects energy production in cells. Researchers will review medical records, ask participants about their health history, and perform …

This study tracks 200 people with ultra-rare glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) like types 0a, 0b, VII, X, XII, XIII, XV, PRKAG2 syndrome, and Danon disease. Researchers will collect medical records and other data to see how these conditions progress over time. No treatments or dru…

This early-phase study looks at whether reducing high insulin levels (common in type 1 diabetes) with an SGLT2 inhibitor can improve heart and blood sugar health. Researchers will compare people with type 1 diabetes, those with a mild genetic diabetes (GCK-MODY), and healthy volu…
