Condition(s) targeted: Hyperlipidemia; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2; Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus

Intervention: Atorvastatin (Drug); Placebo (Drug)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Terminated

Sponsored by: Pfizer

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Pfizer CT.gov Call Center, Study Director, Affiliation: Pfizer

Summary

The study will investigate the effects of atorvastatin on the concentrations of small, dense LDL and HDL subfractions in patients with diabetes and the underlying mechanisms of these effects.

Clinical Details

Official title: Impact of Atorvastatin on the Distribution, Composition, and Metabolism of LDL and HDL Subfractions: A Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Phase IV Study With Patients Suffering From Combined Hyperlipidemia and Diabetes. Atorvastatin and LDL Profile in NIDDM (ALPIN Study)

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome:

Changes in concentration of HDL subfractions 2a and 2b compared with screening (visit 1)

Changes in concentration of LDL subfractions LDL-5 and LDL-6 compared with screening (visit 1)

Secondary outcome:

Changes in concentration of apolipoprotein B in VLDL, IDL, LDL-1 through LDL-6 and apolipoprotein A I in HDL subfractions 2a, 2b, and HDL-3 compared with screening (visit 1)

Changes in Cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP), lipoprotein and hepatic lipase activity compared with screening (visit 1)

Changes in concentration of triglycerides, LDL, and HDL compared with screening (visit 1)

Changes in size of LDL subfractions compared with screening (visit 1)

Detailed description: This study was terminated on October 6, 2004. The study terminated prematurely because of a higher screening failure rate than expected. There were no safety or efficacy reasons involved in the decision to terminate.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 35 Years. Maximum age: 75 Years. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Male and female subjects with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus who either have

never had a major adverse cardiac event (MACE) diagnosed before or who had a MACE diagnosed at least 6 months ago, but who, according to the judgement of the treating general practitioner, do not receive any hyperlipidemic therapy. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) include myocardial infarction, coronary angioplasty, coronary artery bypass graft or other revascularization procedures. At Screening:

Written informed consent obtained At Visit 2 (week 0): 4. LDL cholesterol ≥130 mg/dl (3. 3 mmol/l ) and <190 mg/dl (4. 9 mmol/l) 5. Triglycerides <150 mg/dl (1. 69 mmol/l ) and <600 mg/dl (11. 3 mmol/l) 6. Sum of LDL-5 and LDL-6 cholesterol ≥25 mg/dl (0. 65 mmol/l) 7. Follicle stimulating Hormone (FSH) >30 U/l in female patients aged <60 years or FSH >20 U/l in female patients aged ≥60 years Exclusion Criteria:

- HbA1c > 8. 0

- Creatine kinase (CK) >5 times the upper limit of normal

- Patients having taken lipid lowering medication within 8 weeks of the screening visit
