Trial summary

Objectives: The investigators examined whether rosiglitazone, a thiazolidinedione (TZD), is beneficial for pre-diabetes mellitus (DM) adults with documented coronary artery disease (CAD). Background: Microvascular and macrovascular complications are common in type 2 DM. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Role of Rosiglitazone Treatment and Secondary Prevention of Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Pre-Diabetes Mellitus and Coronary Artery Disease

Objectives:

The investigators examined whether rosiglitazone, a thiazolidinedione (TZD), is beneficial for pre-diabetes mellitus (DM) adults with documented coronary artery disease (CAD).

Background:

Microvascular and macrovascular complications are common in type 2 DM. There is no evidence about the effects of TZDs, synthetic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ activators (insulin sensitizers and adipose transcriptional regulation and anti-inflammatory process activators) on pre-DM patients with documented CAD.

Read the detailed description

Materials and Methods:

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, patients will be randomly assigned to the TZD group and to the placebo group with a 6-month treatment period.

Biomarkers will also examined before and 6 months post-treatment during the trial.

The primary end-points will be the diagnosis of major cardiovascular events: myocardial infarction, overt heart failure, and surgery or coronary intervention for CAD.

Being tested
placebo tablet, rosiglitazone (4 mg)/day
Keywords
prediabetes, coronary artery disease, insulin resistance, glucose intolerance

What is being measured

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

  1. major cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction, overt heart failure, and surgery or coronary intervention for CAD

    Primary end points: The primary end-point was defined as major cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction, overt heart failure, and surgery or coronary intervention for CAD.

    Measured: at least 6 months follow-up of MACEs

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Biomarkers measurements

    Resistin and adiponectin will be measured to evaluate insulin resistance; CCL/MCP-1 and hsCRP were also analyzed to evaluate inflammation status changes.

    Several vascular associated remodeling markers and proteins will also be measured.

    Measured: Biomarkers were taken before the trial and 6 months later

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing rosiglitazone (4 mg)/day in people with Prediabetes and Coronary Artery Disease, run by National Cheng-Kung University Hospital.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 11 Apr 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

major cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction, overt heart failure, and surgery or coronary intervention for CAD (time frame: at least 6 months follow-up of MACEs). 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 11 Apr 2012.
