Information source: University of Leipzig
Information obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov on June 20, 2008
Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Impaired Glucose Tolerance

Intervention: rosiglitazone (Drug); physical exercise (Behavioral); control (Other)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: University of Leipzig

Summary

The aim of this study is to prospectively assess the relative benefits of either treatment with rosiglitazone or physical exercise on endothelial function in patients with impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance and coronary artery disease (CAD).
