Rosiglitazone Monotherapy Is Effective in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of rosiglitazone monotherapy in patients with type 2 diabetes. After a 4-week placebo run-in period, 493 patients with type 2 diabetes were randomized to receive rosiglitazone [2 or 4 mg twice daily (bd)] or placebo for 26 weeks. The primary end point was change in hemoglobin A(1c); other variables assessed included fasting plasma glucose, fructosamine, endogenous insulin secretion, urinary albumin excretion, serum lipids, and adverse events. Rosiglitazone (2 and 4 mg bd) decreased mean hemoglobin A(1c) relative to placebo by 1.2 and 1.5 percentage points, respectively, and reduced fasting plasma glucose concentrations relative to placebo by 3.22 and 4.22 mmol/L, respectively. Fasting plasma insulin and insulin precursor molecules decreased significantly. Homeostasis model assessment estimates indicate that rosiglitazone (2 and 4 mg bd) reduced insulin resistance by 16.0% and 24.6%, respectively, and improved ss-cell function over baseline by 49.5% and 60.0%, respectively. Urinary albumin excretion decreased significantly in the rosiglitazone (4 mg bd) group. There was no increase in adverse events with rosiglitazone. In the short-term, rosiglitazone is an insulin sensitizer that is effective and safe as monotherapy in patients with type 2 diabetes who are inadequately controlled by lifestyle interventions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
