About this study

A three year prospective, double blinded, placebo controlled, randomized clinical trial in impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) subjects to study the effect of pioglitazone in preventing the conversion to Diabetes.

Read the detailed description

A randomized controlled study was designed to find out whether pioglitazone will prevent the conversion to diabetes in subjects who are non obese and with impaired glucose tolerance.

It is a double blind prospective study for 3 years. The study was started in October 2003 and randomization was completed in May 2005. A total of 6643 subjects were screened and 406 were randomized either to pioglitazone or placebo(investigator blinded-groups assigned A and B). At randomisation subjects were given standard advice on diet,exercise and benefits of life style modifications.

Subjects both male and female, aged between 35 and 55 years, with no known history of diabetes, willing and available for a 3 year study alone were screened. Pregnant women, subjects with major illness such as cancer, hepatic or cardiac diseases and on transferable jobs were excluded from the study. The initial dose of tablet was 15mg o.d. which was titrated after a month to 30 mg o.d. in subjects who did not show any adverse events.

The subjects will be undergoing annual reviews with a repeat OGTT, for 3 years. An interim review at every six months is also being done. Proforma containing details of anthropometry, occupation, physical activity, dietary habits, details of medications, regularity of treatment will be done at each interview.

The main expected outcomes of the study will be a reduction in conversion of IGT to diabetes and benefits of the drug on anthropometric variables and biochemical parameters.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pioglitazone in people with Diabetes, run by M.V. Hospital for Diabetes.

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 3 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 6 Apr 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Reduction in conversion of IGT to diabetes. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00276497, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 6 Apr 2009.
