About this study

Official title: A 24-Week Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group, Multi-Centre, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Tesaglitazar Therapy When Administered as Monotherapy to Drug-Naïve Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

This is a 24-week randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, multi-center, placebo-controlled study of tesaglitazar (0.5 and 1 mg) 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 single-blind placebo run-in period, followed by 24-week treatment period and a 3-week follow-up period.

The study design of GALLANT 2 is identical to GALLANT 22; the blinded study data from GALLANT 2 will be transferred to the GALLANT 22 database and will be analyzed together with the data from GALLANT 22 clinical study.

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 (14)
  1. Changes in the following variables from baseline to the end of the randomized treatment period:

  2. 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

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

  4. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), homeostasis assessment model, insulin, proinsulin, C-peptide

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

  6. Fibrinogen

  7. Proportion of patients with microalbuminuria

  8. Waist/hip ratio

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

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

  11. Pharmacokinetics of tesaglitazar

  12. 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

  13. Patient-reported outcomes: Well-Being Questionnaire (W BQ12)

  14. Audit of Diabetes Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQoL). ADDQoL will only be applied in Poland.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tesaglitazar and Dietary and Lifestyle counseling in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by AstraZeneca at 101 sites in 14 countries.

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 6 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 17 Mar 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 101 sites in Poland, Norway, Slovakia, Australia, Czechia and 9 more countries. 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 17 Mar 2008.
