Multicenter clinical research study aimed at discovering whether modest weight loss through dietary changes and increased physical activity or treatment with the oral diabetes drug metformin (Glucophage) could prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in study participants. At the beginning of the DPP, all 3,234 study participants were overweight and had blood glucose levels higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetesa condition called prediabetes. In addition, 45 percent of the participants were from minority groups-African American, Alaska Native, American Indian, Asian American, Hispanic/Latino, or Pacific Islander-at increased risk of developing diabetes. The DPP found that participants who lost a modest amount of weight through dietary changes and increased physical activity sharply reduced their chances of developing diabetes. Taking metformin also reduced risk, although less dramatically. In the DPP, participants from 27 clinical centers around the United States were randomly divided into different treatment groups. The first group, called the lifestyle intervention group, received intensive training in diet, physical activity, and behavior modification. By eating less fat and fewer calories and exercising for a total of 150 minutes a week, they aimed to lose 7 percent of their body weight and maintain that loss. The second group took 850 mg of metformin twice a day. The third group received placebo pills instead of metformin. The metformin and placebo groups also received information about diet and exercise but no intensive motivational counseling. A fourth group was treated with the drug troglitazone (Rezulin), but this part of the study was discontinued after researchers discovered that troglitazone can cause serious liver damage. The participants in this group were followed but not included as one of the intervention groups. In the years since the DPP was completed, further analyses of DPP data continue to yield important insights into the value of lifestyle changes in helping people prevent type 2 diabetes and associated conditions. For example, one analysis confirmed that DPP participants carrying two copies of a gene variant, or mutation, that significantly increased their risk of developing diabetes benefited from lifestyle changes as much as or more than those without the gene variant. Another analysis found that weight loss was the main predictor of reduced risk for developing diabetes in DPP lifestyle intervention group participants. The authors concluded that diabetes risk reduction efforts should focus on weight loss, which is helped by increased exercise.

A consortium whose overall goal is to identify effective behavioral and lifestyle interventions that will improve weight, glycemic control and other pregnancy-related outcomes in obese and overweight pregnant women, and determine whether these interventions reduce obesity and metabolic abnormalities in their children. The study/consortium is comprised of seven clinical centers, with each clinical center conducting its own trial. Additional information on the consortium and individual trials is located in the Consortium Summaries tab.

A research consortium with the long term goal of developing and testing measurement tools to describe symptoms of lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) in women and men. The group plans to study targeted populations of patients with LUTD in order to expand our understanding of the causes of symptoms and common ways that symptoms change over time. The researchers will also collect biosamples from patients for current and future study of LUTD.

A consortium of research projects working to optimize approaches for the isolation, expansion, and differentiation of appropriate kidney cell types and their integration into complex structures that replicate human kidney function. Their goal is to coordinate and integrate research to support the development and implementation of strategies such as de novo repair of nephrons, the re-generation of nephrons, and the in vitro engineering of a biological kidney to enhance renal repair and promote the generation of new nephrons in the postnatal organ. Investigators may apply for funding of a kidney-related project through the RBK Partnership Project. Funded projects would join the consortium.
