Brief Summary:
This is a prospective 24-week, randomized, parallel-group, multi-center, active-controlled (pioglitazone 45 mg) open-label study designed to assess the effects of tesaglitazar 2 mg per day on components of renal excretion of creatinine in type 2 diabetics. The study comprises a 2-week enrollment period, followed by a 24-week double blind treatment period and an 8-week follow-up period

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Effects of on tubular secretion of creatinine in type 2 diabetics after 12 weeks of treatment as assessed through determinations of:
  2. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by iothalamate clearance
  3. Endogenous creatinine clearance

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Effects of on tubular secretion of creatinine in type 2 diabetics after 24 weeks of treatment as assessed through determinations of:
  2. GFR by iothalamate clearance
  3. Endogenous creatinine clearance
  4. The time course of change in serum creatinine concentration and GFR during a 24-week period of tesaglitazar treatment in type 2 diabetics
  5. The effects of tesaglitazar on urinary protein excretion in type 2 diabetics by comparisons of urinary total protein and albumin excretion rates
  6. The effects of tesaglitazar on urinary creatinine excretion in type 2 diabetics by comparisons of urinary total creatinine excretion rates
  7. The pharmacokinetics of tesaglitazar during 24 weeks of therapy in type 2 diabetics.
  8. The safety and tolerability of tesaglitazar in type 2 diabetics by assessments of adverse events, laboratory values, electrocardiogram, pulse, blood pressure, body weight, and physical examination.
