GALLANT 7 Tesaglitazar Add-on to Sulphonylurea

March 14, 2008 updated by: AstraZeneca

A 24-Week Randomised, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group, Multi-Centre, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Tesaglitazar Therapy When Added to the Therapy of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Poorly Controlled on Sulphonylurea Alone

This is a 24-week randomized double-blind, parallel-group, multi-center, placebo-controlled study of tesaglitazar (0.5 mg and 1 mg) given as add-on therapy to sulphonylurea in patients with type 2 diabetes, not adequately controlled on optimized sulphonylurea treatment and on diet/lifestyle advice during the titration and run-in period. The study comprises a 2-week enrollment period, 6 week placebo metformin titration period, 2-week single-blind run-in period, followed by a 24-week double blind treatment period and a 3-week follow-up period

• FPG, homeostasis assessment model, insulin, proinsulin, C-peptide
• Tumor necrosis factor-alpha, intracellular adhesion molecule-1
• Fibrinogen
• Urinary albumin excretion
• Waist/hip ratio
• Responder analyses for HbA1c, FPG, TG, HDL C, total cholesterol, non HDL C and LDL C according to pre-specified values
• Proportion of patients reaching pre-specified target levels for HbA1c, FPG, TG, HDL C, non-HDL C and LDL C
• Pharmacokinetics of tesaglitazar
• Safety and tolerability of tesaglitazar by assessment of adverse events, laboratory values, electrocardiogram, pulse, blood pressure, hypoglycemic events, body weight, cardiac evaluation, and physical examination
