  Purpose

This is a 12-week randomized, double-blind, multi-center, active-controlled (open-label pioglitazone) and placebo-controlled study of tesaglitazar (0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 mg) in patients with type 2 diabetes, not adequately controlled on diet and lifestyle advice alone during the run-in period. The study comprises a 2-week enrollment period, 4 week placebo single blind run in period followed by a 12-week double blind treatment period and a 3-week follow-up period

Further study details as provided by AstraZeneca:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Absolute change from baseline to end of randomized treatment period in fasting plasma glucose (FPG)

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Changes in the following variables from baseline to the end of the randomized treatment period:
  • The change in plasma glucose and insulin during an oral glucose tolerance test
  • Insulin sensitivity by assessment of change in the calculated variable homeostasis assessment model
  • Lipid parameters (triglyceride [TG], total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL C], non-HDL C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL C], apolipoproteins [Apo] A-I, Apo B, Apo CIII, free fatty acids
  • Change in insulin levels and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels
  • Responder analyses for FPG, TG, and HDL C according to pre-specified values
  • Pharmacokinetics of tesaglitazar
  • To assess the burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients through the administration of the SF-36 health survey and the Well-Being Questionnaire (W BQ12) and comparing the study population data to published national and international normative data
  • To evaluate diabetes-specific instruments, Audit of Diabetes Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQoL) and The Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ) (s and c) in the study population and estimate the effect size of the instruments in patients r

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:

  • New York Heart Association heart failure Class III or IV
  • Treatment with chronic insulin
  • History of hypersensitivity or intolerance to any peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonist (like Actos or Avandia), or to other PPAR g or PPAR a and g agonists.

  • Creatinine levels above 1.2 mg/dL
  • Received any investigational product in other clinical studies within 30 days
  • Any clinically significant abnormality identified on physical examination, laboratory tests or electrocardiogram, which in the judgment of the investigator would compromise the patient’s safety or successful participation in the clinical study
