What this trial means for you
This study is recruiting now at 1 US site. It's studying Liraglutide for type2 diabetes.
What participants typically get: study medication (or placebo, if the trial uses one) and study-related medical care at no cost, plus close monitoring. Compensation for time and travel varies by study, ask the site. Note that in many trials you can't choose your treatment group, and some participants receive a placebo.
The study, in the sponsor's words
The primary objective of this study is to examine whether exercise training alone, liraglutide treatment alone or exercise training plus liraglutide treatment increases cardiac and muscle capillary blood volume, improves vascular function in the larger conduit vessels, and enhances insulin's metabolic action in humans with Type 2 diabetes. Subjects will be randomized to one of the three groups: exercise training, liraglutide treatment, and exercise + liraglutide. They will be studied at the baseline and then after 16 weeks of intervention.
