Trial summary

The principle objective of the trial is to compare rosiglitazone to gliclazide in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic stable angina to see how the subjects' angina status changes. Angina status will be measured via exercise tolerance testing, 24-hour ECG testing and angina quality of life questionnaire. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Rosiglitazone and Sulphonylureas on Ischaemic Burden, Blood Pressure and Novel Risk Markers Inclusive of Vascular Function in Patients With Chronic Stable Angina and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Randomised, Double-Blinded Study.

The principle objective of the trial is to compare rosiglitazone to gliclazide in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic stable angina to see how the subjects' angina status changes.

Angina status will be measured via exercise tolerance testing, 24-hour ECG testing and angina quality of life questionnaire.

Read the detailed description

Ischaemic heart disease is one of the main complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus, both in terms of morbidity and mortality. Reducing plasma glucose with hypoglycaemic agents has not been shown to improve cardiovascular mortality or morbidity. Chronic stable angina is a common problem in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

We postulate that in subjects with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (Hba1c >7.5%), on metformin therapy, and chronic stable angina that the addition of the insulin sensitiser, rosiglitazone to control their diabetes will improve their angina when compared to the addition of the hypoglycaemic agent gliclazide. This hypothesis is based on the fact that insulin resistance is an upstream mechanism common to both conditions.

We will randomise such patients to 3 months therapy of rosiglitazone or gliclazide for 3 months, comparing angina status before and after by way of full Bruce protocol exercise testing, 24 hour ST segment analysis and angina questionnaire.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rosiglitazone and Gliclazide (Comparison drug) in people with Angina Pectoris and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by University of Glasgow at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Sep 2006. 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 Kingdom. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Angina status at 3 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 8 Sep 2006.
