About this study

Official title: A Prospective Study of Associations of Changes in HbA1C and Fasting Blood Lipids Due to Treatment With Pioglitazone for 6 Months and Genetic Polymorphism's in PPAR-gamma

The purpose of this study is to asses changes in glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood lipids and genetic polymorphism's in peroxisomal proliferator activated receptors--gamma receptor after 6 months of pioglitazone, once daily (QD), treatment.

Read the detailed description

The metabolic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus can be measured by means of glycosylated hemoglobin. A low value glycosylated hemoglobin indicates a good metabolic control, and has been shown to be associated with a better prognosis regarding diabetic complications. Type 2 diabetes is a disease with a profound genetic component. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma is a transcription factor implicated in adipocyte differentiation, lipid and glucose metabolism. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alfa is a transcription factor implicated in lipid oxidation and gluconeogenesis and is present in liver, kidney, heart, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue.

Pioglitazone is a thiazolidinedione that targets nuclear peroxisomal proliferator activated receptors, members of the super family of ligand activated transcription factors. Specifically, thiazolidinediones bind to the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and affect transcription factors that influence expression of genes responsible for the production of proteins important in carbohydrate and lipoprotein metabolism. These include increases in glucose transporters 1 and 4 resulting in enhanced peripheral glucose utilization by fat and skeletal muscle.

This is a pharmacoepidemiological study to evaluate whether the individual genotype of the patients have any influence on the efficacy of pioglitazone.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in glycosylated hemoglobin.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change from baseline in Clinical Laboratory Tests (alanine transaminase, hematocrit and hemoglobin).

    Measured: End of Treatment

  2. Change from baseline in Body Weight.

    Measured: End of Treatment

  3. Percentage of treatment responders defined as a patient with 0.6% decrease in HbA1C from baseline visit to final visit or accomplishment of a HbA1c value at or below 6.5%.

    Measured: End of Treatment

  4. Change from baseline in beta-cell function (Homeostasis model assessment).

    Measured: End of Treatment

  5. Change from baseline in insulin resistance (Homeostasis model assessment).

    Measured: End of Treatment

  6. Change from baseline in fasting lipoproteins (total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and triglycerides).

    Measured: End of Treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, run by Takeda at 4 sites in 4 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 28 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden. 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?

Change from baseline in glycosylated hemoglobin. (time frame: 6 months). 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 28 Feb 2012.
