About this study

Official title: A 24-Week Randomised, Double-Blind, Multi-Centre, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Tesaglitazar Therapy When Added to the Therapy of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Poorly Controlled on Insulin

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.

Being tested
Tesaglitazar 0.5, Insulin at least 30 units/day
Keywords
Insulin dependent Type 2 diabetes
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Tesaglitazar 0.5Drug

  • Insulin at least 30 units/dayDrug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

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

Secondary outcomes (15)
  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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tesaglitazar 0.5 and Insulin at least 30 units/day in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by AstraZeneca at 71 sites 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 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Apr 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 71 sites 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 stopped early (reason given: The development program has been terminated). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Absolute change from baseline to end of randomized treatment period in glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). 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 22 Apr 2009.
