Read the detailed description

Fifty-six obese, drug naive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled and completed the study. Twenty-six healthy subjects matched for age and body mass index (BMI) served as nondiabetic controls. All subjects were postmenopausal women with last menses at least 2 years. After the baseline measurements, all subjects were instructed to follow a weight-maintaining diet, based on ADA recommendations, and were also encouraged to walk or to jog at least 30 min daily. Subsequently, 28 of the diabetic subjects were randomly assigned to receive rosiglitazone (4 mg/day). Twenty-eight of diabetic subjects were on diet alone. The randomization procedure was based on a random sequence.

All subjects had a complete clinical examination, anthropometric measurements, and laboratory tests at baseline and at the end of the 12th week of the study. Laboratory investigations included assessment of: (i) glycemic control (HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose and insulin levels, and homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) index (22); (ii) serum bsALP and active human osteocalcin concentration (OCL) as markers of bone formation; (iii) urine deoxypyridinoline (DPD) as marker of bone resorption. Other non-specific bone markers including serum total ALP activity, urinary calcium (Ca) and phosphate (PO4) concentrations were also measured. Urine concentrations of DPD (nmol/L), Ca and PO4 (both in mmol/L) were corrected for their respective urine creatinine (Cr) concentrations in mmol/L (Urine DPD/Cr, Urine Ca/Cr and Urine PO4/Cr respectively). In addition, fasting blood samples were analyzed for plasma cytokine levels including IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α, and for haptoglobin levels.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rosiglitazone in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Obesity, run by Baskent University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

metabolic bone markers before and after the intervention,. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00440375, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Feb 2007.
