Impact of Acarbose on Abnormal Glucose Regulation in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease (AAA Trial)
July 17, 2012 updated by: Tatsuaki Matsubara, MD, PhD, Aichi Gakuin University
Multicenter Trial on Clinical Utility of Acarbose in Patients With Ischemic Heart Disease Accompanied by Abnormal Glucose Regulation
The objective of this trial is to investigate the effect of early treatment of glucose toxicity with acarbose, a drug to control postprandial hyperglycemia, on the occurence of cardiovascular events and the inhibition of atherosclerosis.
Study Overview
Status
Unknown
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Acarbose suppresses the postprandial increase in plasma glucose levels by inhibiting the activities of alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase involved in digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine.
A clinical study involving patients with type 2 diabetes demonstrated that acarbose decreased the post-load glucose level and improved glycosylated hemoglobin control.
A prospective study involving patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) demonstrated that acarbose inhibited progression to type 2 diabetes and significantly reduced the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
It has also been reported that acarbose slows increase in the intima-media thickness and inhibits the progression of atherosclerosis.
A significant proportion of patients with acute coronary syndrome and those with stable angina pectoris suffer from diabetes or IGT, and their prognosis is poor.
