History of Changes
  Purpose

This is a 12-week study to determine the effect on glucose and lipids, safety, and tolerability of four doses of tesaglitazar (0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 mg) compared with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes. Improvement in dyslipidemia will be evaluated. The study comprises a 2-week screening period, 4-week placebo run-in, a 12-week randomized, double blind, parallel group, multi-center, placebo-controlled treatment period, and a 3-week follow-up.

Further study details as provided by AstraZeneca:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Dose-response relationship of tesaglitazar in subjects with type 2 diabetes by the assessment of the effects of each of four doses of tesaglitazar (0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 mg) to placebo with respect to fasting plasma glucose

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Changes in the following variables from baseline to the end of the randomized treatment period:
  • Triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol apolipoproteins (Apo) (Apo A-I, Apo B and Apo CIII), and f
  • Glucose and insulin values during an oral glucose tolerance test
  • Effects on the reduction of insulin and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c levels
  • Effects on the proportion of fasting plasma glucose responders
  • Effects on the proportion of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol responders
  • Effects on the changes from baseline in weight and waist/hip ratio
  • Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of tesaglitazar
  • Assess the safety and tolerability of tesaglitazar compared to placebo

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Type 1 diabetes
  • 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), fenofibrate, metformin or 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor (statin)
  • History of drug-induced myopathy or drug-induced creatine kinase elevation, liver enzyme elevations, neutropenia (low white blood cells)
  • Creatinine levels above twice the normal range
  • Creatine kinase above 3 times the upper limit of normal
  • Received any investigational product in other clinical studies within 12 weeks
  • 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
