Cortisol Excess

CAPTAIN-T2D will take place in two parts. Part 1 (Screening) will evaluate patients with type 2 diabetes and elevated cortisol risk factors for trial eligibility and the presence of elevated cortisol. Participants deemed eligible from Part 1 will be randomized to either clofutriben or placebo in the double-blind (participant and investigator), dose-ranging, interventional Part 2 (Treatment).

The goal of this observational study is to learn about quality of life, stress and caregiver burden in patients with stroke and their caregivers. The main question is: • to discover the factors associated with quality of life and stress in patient-caregiver dyads. Participants will be asked to fill out questionnaires and agree to provide a hair sample (in order to measure stress hormones in hair) and consent to use of their routine clinical and laboratory data. Researchers will compare a group of participants without stroke to establish a comparable baseline.
