Condition(s) targeted: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus; Dyslipidemia

Intervention: Fenofibrate (Drug); Niacin plus laropiprant (Drug)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Institut Investigacio Sanitaria Pere Virgili

Summary

The structural and functional alterations of high density lipoproteins (HDL) levels in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients linked to hypertriglyceridemia, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, inflammation and oxidation, play a major role in the increased macrovascular risk in these patients. An impaired function of the adipose tissue (AT) in T2D contributes to low HDL concentrations. Objectives: 1) Quantitative and qualitative characterisation of HDL subclasses by ultracentrifugation, proteomic and metabolomic techniques. 2) To study the relationship between the HDL subclasses, preβ1 HDL and remnant HDL, and clinical determinants of arteriosclerosis. 3) Functional in vitro studies of the HDL subclasses determined in Objective 1. 4) To study the role of AT determining the low HDL levels. 5) To study the impact of HDL increasing drugs on HDL qualitative changes.

Clinical Details

Official title: Qualitative and Quantitative Characterization of HDL in T2D After Fenofibrate or Niacin Treatment in Spanish Population

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Prevention

Primary outcome: HDL particles size and number assessed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and reported as nm and micromol/L

Secondary outcome: Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1), apolipoprotein A2 (Apo A2), paraoxonase (PON) HDL concentration (g/l - mg/l)

Detailed description: Groups of subjects: a) Diabetic patients with low HDL; b) Non-diabetic patients with low HDL; c) Diabetic patients with normal HDL levels; and d) Non-diabetic patients with normal HDL levels. The studies will be performed after washing out lipid lowering drugs. Intima media thickness (IMT) will be performed in all groups. Main biochemical techniques will be centralised. Isolation and characterisation of HDL subclasses and remnant HDL, as well as a determination and preβ1 HDL will be performed. HDL studies examining HDL proteomic and metabolomic profiles will be performed. Functional studies will determine the effects on the endothelium, inflammation, cholesterol efflux and oxidation according the qualitative changes. These HDL measurements will be repeated in group (a), after they are treated with fibrates or Niacin. HDL metabolism in adipocytes will be extensively studied, and the clinical associations between HDL alterations and plasma AT-derived molecules will be examined.
