Study summary

This is a 52-week randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, multi-center, active-controlled (glibenclamide) study of tesaglitazar in patients with type 2 diabetes, not adequately controlled on diet and lifestyle advice alone during the run-in period. The study comprises a 6 week placebo single blind run in period followed by a 52-week double blind treatment period and a 3-week follow-up period. Tesaglitazar and glibenclamide will be titrated to optimal effect or highest tolerable dose during the first 12 weeks.

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

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

  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
