Study population: Patients with type 2 diabetes attending clinic

Who may be able to join

  • Male subjects aged 18 to 65 years.
  • Eligible subjects must be free from clinically significant illness or disease (other than type 2 diabetes)with the exception of chronic stable-treated hypertension (BP<160/90, and >90/50), thyroid disease (TSH in the normal reference range) and/or dyslipidaemia.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Predictive Markers of Glitazone Efficacy in Diabetic Patients - Pilot Study

Hypothesis:

A cluster of biochemical measurements (biomarkers) predict which diabetic patients will respond to treatment with a therapeutic dose of rosiglitazone over a 12 week treatment period.

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to assess the predictive value of the biomarkers in diabetic patients treated with a full dose of a thiazolidinedione (eg 4mg bid rosiglitazone) for 12 weeks.

Specifically - the questions asked are:

  1. Do baseline measurements of a selected panel of biomarkers predict the patients' response to rosiglitazone over 12 weeks?
  2. How does the panel of biomarkers change over that 12 week treatment period?
Read the detailed description

Rosiglitazone (Avandia) is a medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes. It works by increasing the sensitivity of body tissues to insulin.

This pilot study will examine the possibility that baseline biochemistry might predict the response to rosiglitazone. The study will be conducted in males and the biomarkers of interest measured by specific assays. In addition, since the biomarkers to be measured come from body fat, interpretation of the data would be facilitated by accurate measurements of changes in body fat mass during treatment and these data can be obtained from Echo-MRI scans.

1Rosiglitazone
Receives: Drug: Rosiglitazone
2Diet control +/- metformin

What is being measured

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

  1. The performance of baseline biochemical biomarkers in plasma and urine in distinguishing patients who respond to rosiglitazone from those that do not, as classified by a change in HbA1C at 12 weeks.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Variability in baseline levels of key biochemical markers in diabetic patients.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Effect of treatment on a variety of other novel potential predictive biomarkers and markers of insulin sensitisation in diabetic patients.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Imperial College London at 4 sites in United Kingdom.

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 11 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jul 2019. 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 United Kingdom. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 performance of baseline biochemical biomarkers in plasma and urine in distinguishing patients who respond to rosiglitazone from those that do not, as classified by a change in HbA1C at 12 weeks. (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 Jul 2019.
