Trial summary

The overall hypothesis to be tested is that increased insulin resistance contributes to abnormal cardiac blood flow regulation in type 2 diabetic patients, which can be reversed by 6 months treatment with rosiglitazone. Read more about this study

About this study

The overall hypothesis to be tested is that increased insulin resistance contributes to abnormal cardiac blood flow regulation in type 2 diabetic patients, which can be reversed by 6 months treatment with rosiglitazone. The planned experimental approach will be to utilize nuclear medicine techniques to evaluate whether the administration of rosiglitazone for 6 months can reverse regional deficits in myocardial blood flow and glucose utilization in type 2 diabetes in a randomized double blind controlled study. These studies will help elucidate the potential of rosiglitazone to correct deficits of myocardial blood flow complicating diabetes with the overall aim being the eventual prevention of sudden cardiac death.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Rosiglitazone and Glyburide in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by University of Michigan at 2 sites 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 6 inclusion and 17 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 9 Nov 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Myocardial blood flow regulation (time frame: 6 months intervention). 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 NCT00549874, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Nov 2007.
