  Purpose

The present study was undertaken to assess the effect of pioglitazone [a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonist] in Bangladeshi T2DM subjects on insulin secretion and insulin resistance and the influence of PPARγ gene variants on the response rate to pioglitazone therapy in the same population. Metformin, another insulin sensitizer, was also given to the patients after 3 months treatment with 15 days washout period in a parallel design for further 3 months..

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Glycemic status [ Time Frame: 3 months for each drug ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

    Glycemic (FSG,2hrSG,HbA1c) and Insulinemic (FSI, 30min SI, 90min SI, 2hrSI) status of the patients to understand Insulin secretion and Insulin sensitivity after treatment with Pioglitazone or Metformin.

    Association with the PPAR-γ gene Polymorphism and Pioglitazone response in T2DM patients.



Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Lipidic status [ Time Frame: 3 months for each drug ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Effect of Pioglitazone or Metformin on Lipidemic status (Total Cholesterol, HDL,LDL), BMI and on SGPT and Creatinine after 3 months treatment

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Pioglitazone Drug: Generic Name: Pioglitazone, Metformin

77 patients were treated with pioglitazone for 3 months first and then the patients were treated with metformin for further 3 months after 1 month washout period.

Dosage form-Tablet Dosage- Pioglitazone 30mg/day Metformin-850mg/day Frequency- 1 for both of the drugs Duration- 3 months for each drug Arms/groups- For two interventions was assigned for one group.

Experimental: Metformin Drug: Generic Name: Pioglitazone, Metformin

77 patients were treated with pioglitazone for 3 months first and then the patients were treated with metformin for further 3 months after 1 month washout period.

Dosage form-Tablet Dosage- Pioglitazone 30mg/day Metformin-850mg/day Frequency- 1 for both of the drugs Duration- 3 months for each drug Arms/groups- For two interventions was assigned for one group.


Detailed Description:

Both β cell dysfunction and insulin resistance are core defects in the progression of T2DM and their relative contribution vary among different ethnic population due to heterogeneous nature of the diseases. The trial was carried out on 80 Type 2 Diabetic subjects who were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The patients were randomized to receive treatment with pioglitazone 30mg per day for 3 months followed by 2 week wash-out period, then forwarded to the alternative treatment regimen with metformin 850 mg per day for further 3 months. Outcome measures included glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose (FBG) and 2 hours blood glucose (2hBG), insulin levels (FSI), total cholesterol (TC), high and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C and LDL-C respectively), triglycerides (TG), BMI, SGPT and serum creatinine. Insulin secretory capacity (HOMA%B), Insulin sensitivity (HOMA%S),and insulin resistance (HOMA IR) were calculated by HOMA sigma software. Insulin sensitivity was also calculated by QUICKI. For the genetic analysis extracted DNA from blood was amplified by PCR and then digested with HaeIII restriction enzyme and visualized the banding pattern to distinguish among the alleles. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 18 (using univariate and multivariate tools).
