Study summary

This is a 24-week randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled study of tesaglitazar in patients with type 2 diabetes who are not adequately controlled on insulin (along or in combination with one or more oral antidiabetic agents in addition to diet and lifestyle advice). The study comprises a 3-week enrollment period and a 24-week randomized, double blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled treatment period and a 3-week follow-up. Patients must receive at least 30 units of insulin per day and will continue their current oral antidiabetic treatment regimen throughout the study.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

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

Secondary outcomes

  1. Changes in the following variables from baseline to the end of the randomized treatment period:

  2. The change in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), insulin, proinsulin and C-peptide from baseline to the end of the randomized treatment period

  3. Insulin sensitivity by assessment of change in the calculated variable homeostasis assessment model from baseline to the end of the randomized treatment period

  4. Lipid parameters (triglyceride [TG], total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL C], non-HDL C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL C], apolipoproteins [Apo] A-I, Apo B, Apo CIII, free fatty acids, lipoprotein particle size and c

  5. C-reactive protein, LDL C/HDL C ratio and Apo B/Apo A-I ratio

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

  7. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha, intracellular adhesion molecule-1

  8. Fibrinogen

  9. Urinary albumin excretion

  10. Waist/hip ratio

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

  12. Proportion of patients reaching pre-specified target levels for HbA1c, FPG, TG, HDL C, non-HDL C and LDL C

  13. Pharmacokinetics of tesaglitazar

  14. 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

  15. To validate the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment-Diabetes Questionnaire (WPAI-Diabetes) and the Diabetes Productivity Impairment Questionnaire (DPIQ) in patients with type 2 diabetes and to explore the effects of tesaglitazar (0.5 mg) on pati
