Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY)
Summary
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has sponsored a consortium of investigators to conduct a clinical treatment trial, Treatment Options for type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY).
The primary objective of the TODAY trial is to compare the efficacy of three treatment arms on time to treatment failure based on glycemic control. The secondary aims are to:
- compare and evaluate the safety of the three treatment arms;
- compare the effects of the three treatments on the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D) with regards to beta cell function and insulin resistance, body composition, nutrition, physical activity and aerobic fitness, cardiovascular risk factors, microvascular complications, quality of life, and psychological outcomes;
- evaluate the influence of individual and family behaviors on treatment response; and
- compare the relative cost effectiveness of the three treatment arms.
The three treatment regimens are: (1) metformin alone, (2) metformin plus rosiglitazone, and (3) metformin plus an intensive lifestyle intervention called the TODAY Lifestyle Program (TLP). The study recruits patients over a three-year period and follows patients for a minimum of two years. Patients are randomized within two years of the diagnosis of T2D.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.
Metformin
A biguanide hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not responding to dietary modification. Metformin improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p289)
Prediabetic State
The time period before the development of symptomatic diabetes. For example, certain risk factors can be observed in subjects who subsequently develop INSULIN RESISTANCE as in type 2 diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1
A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
Diabetes Mellitus, Lipoatrophic
A type of diabetes mellitus that is characterized by severe INSULIN RESISTANCE and LIPODYSTROPHY. The latter may be generalized, partial, acquired, or congenital (LIPODYSTROPHY, CONGENITAL GENERALIZED).
Clinical Trials
The purpose of this 32 week study is to demonstrate that fixed-dose combination treatment with rosiglitazone/metformin will safely and effectively control glycemia as first line oral thera...
Diabetes Study With Rosiglitazone Monotherapy Versus Metformin Or Glyburide/Glibenclamide
The study will compare and evaluate the effects of long-term treatment of monotherapy with rosiglitazone, metformin and glyburide/glibenclamide on the improvement and maintenance of glycem...
Effect of Liraglutide on Blood Glucose Control in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes
This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA) and Canada. This trial is designed to show the effect of treatment with liraglutide when added to existing rosiglitazone and m...
A Lifestyle and Combination Medication Therapy Diabetes Prevention Study
It is now well established that the 21st century will be characterized by a global epidemic of Type 2 diabetes. The principal aim of the CANOE study is to determine whether individuals wi...
AVANDAMET Versus Metformin For Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
This 48-week study will compare AVANDAMET vs. Metformin monotherapy for blood glucose control in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Metformin is widely accepted as first-line pharmacotherapy for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus when glycemic control cannot be achieved by lifestyle interventions alone. However, uncertainty ex...
Diabetic patients have a markedly increased risk of cardiovascular disease compared with non-diabetics. Two drug groups today target insulin resistance; biguanides and thiazolidinediones. In addition,...
