About this study

Official title: Comparison of Rosiglitazone Versus Glyburide on Vascular Structure and Function in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

The purpose of this study is to compare the vascular effects of two commonly used diabetes medications, rosiglitazone and glyburide in type 2 diabetic patients.

Read the detailed description

Rosiglitazone and glyburide are two commonly used diabetic medications that have both been shown to be effective in controlling blood glucose levels. Since they work in different ways, they may have different effects on the health of the blood vessels. This study will assess which medication is better at improving the health of the arteries separate from the blood glucose lowering effects. Artery health will be assessed non-invasively by ultrasound. Certain markers of atherosclerosis found in the blood will also be measured.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing rosiglitazone and glyburide in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by St. Paul Heart Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Aug 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Flow Mediated Dilation (time frame: change from baseline to 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jul 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
