OBJECTIVE—Hyperglycemia is a risk factor for microvascular complications and may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. This study tested the LDL cholesterol–lowering agent colesevelam HCl (colesevelam) as a potential novel treatment for improving glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes on sulfonylurea-based therapy.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—A 26-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study was carried out between August 2004 and August 2006 to evaluate the efficacy and safety of colesevelam for reducing A1C in adults with type 2 diabetes whose glycemic control was inadequate (A1C 7.5–9.5%) with existing sulfonylurea monotherapy or sulfonylurea in combination with additional oral anti-diabetes agents. In total, 461 patients were randomized (230 given colesevelam 3.75 g/day and 231 given placebo). The primary efficacy measurement was mean placebo-corrected change in A1C from baseline to week 26 in the intent-to-treat population (last observation carried forward).
RESULTS—The least squares (LS) mean change in A1C from baseline to week 26 was –0.32% in the colesevelam group and +0.23% in the placebo group, resulting in a treatment difference of –0.54% (P < 0.001). The LS mean percent change in LDL cholesterol from baseline to week 26 was –16.1% in the colesevelam group and +0.6% in the placebo group, resulting in a treatment difference of –16.7% (P < 0.001). Furthermore, significant reductions in fasting plasma glucose, fructosamine, total cholesterol, non–HDL cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B were demonstrated in the colesevelam relative to placebo group at week 26.
CONCLUSIONS—Colesevelam improved glycemic control and reduced LDL cholesterol levels in patients with type 2 diabetes receiving sulfonylurea-based therapy. [标签:content1][标签:content2]
