About this study

Official title: The Effect of Pioglitazone and Rosiglitazone on Atherosclerotic and Inflammatory Markers in Patients With Metabolic Syndrome: A Prospective, Randomized, Open-label, Crossover Trial

Pioglitazone and rosiglitazone are used in the treatment of diabetic patients. Thiazolidinediones increase insulin sensitivity and show favorable effect blood glucose levels and lipid profiles. The effect of these two different thiazolidinediones on atherosclerotic and inflammatory markers has not been compared in prospective manner. The purpose of this prospective, randomized, open-label, crossover trial is to compare the effect of pioglitazone and rosiglitazone on atherosclerotic and inflammatory markers in patients with metabolic syndrome.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Pioglitazone, Rosiglitazone in people with Metabolic Syndrome, run by Korea University Anam Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2011. 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 South Korea. 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 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?

The effect on flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and pulse wave velocity (PWV). 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 1 Jul 2011.
