About this study

This is a randomized placebo controlled clinical trial designed to investigate the effects of micronized fenofibrate on fasting and postprandial lipoproteins, oxidized fatty acids and lipoproteins, inflammatory mediators and thrombotic factors among hypertriglyceridemic individuals with two or more other characteristics of the metabolic syndrome.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of micronized fenofibrate (160 mg/daily) on:

  1. Fasting and postprandial lipids and lipoproteins after a standarized test meal.
  2. Fasting and postprandial oxidized fatty acids and oxidized low density lipoprotein after a standarized test meal.
  3. Fasting and postprandial inflammatory mediators after a standarized test meal.
  4. Fasting and postprandial lipopolysaccharide-stimulated cytokine production after a standarized test meal.
  5. Fasting and postprandial markers of hemostasis, fibrinolysis and blood viscosity after a standarized test meal.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fenofibrate (drug) in people with Hypertriglyceridemia With the Metabolic Syndrome, run by University of Michigan at 1 site 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 2 inclusion and 10 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 10 Feb 2017. 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 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.

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?

1. lipids and lipoproteins. 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 10 Feb 2017.
