Study summary

This is a 24-week randomized, double-blind, multi-center, active-controlled (pioglitazone) study of tesaglitazar (0.5 mg and 1 mg) in patients with type 2 diabetes, not adequately controlled on diet and lifestyle advice alone during the run-in period. The study comprises a 3-week enrollment period, 6 week placebo single blind run in period followed by a 24-week double blind treatment period and a 3-week follow-up period.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Absolute change from baseline to end of randomized treatment period in glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)

Secondary outcomes

  1. The change in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), insulin, proinsulin and C-peptide

  2. Insulin sensitivity by assessment of change in the calculated variable homeostasis assessment model

  3. Lipid parameters

  4. FPG, homeostasis assessment model, insulin, proinsulin, C-peptide

  5. Responder analyses for HbA1c, FPG, TG, HDL C, total cholesterol, non HDL C and LDL C according to pre-specified values

  6. Pharmacokinetics of tesaglitazar

  7. Safety and tolerability of tesaglitazar by assessment of adverse events, laboratory values, electrocardiogram, pulse, blood pressure, hypoglycemic events, body weight, cardiac evaluation, and physical examination

  8. Assess the effects on patient-reported outcomes using the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36)

  9. Validate the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment-Diabetes Questionnaire (WPAI Diabetes) and the Diabetes Productivity Impairment Questionnaire (DPIQ) (US only).
