R230C and C230C Variants of ABCA1 and Glyburide Response

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01456650
Lead Sponsor
Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Medicas y Nutricion Salvador Zubiran
Brief Summary

The objective of the study is to know if the R230C and C230C variants of the ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) gene are associated with a smaller glucose lowering effect compared to the wild type allele (R230R) in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Detailed Description

Specific objectives:

1. In patients with type 2 diabetes stratified by the existence of the risk alleles (R230C/C230C) or the wild variant (R230R) of ABC-A1, compare the changes resulting from the treatment with glibenclamide on following continuous variables:

* Fasting glucose

* Percentage reduction

* Hemoglobin A1c,

* Cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol

* Weight

2. In patients with type 2 diabetes stratified by the existence of the risk alleles (R230C/C230C) or the wild variant (R230R) of ABC-A1, compare the changes resulting from the treatment with glibenclamide on following binomial variables:

* Number of cases that reach fasting plasma glucose lower than 110 mg/dl

* Number of cases that reach an HbA1c less than 7%

GroupInterventionDescription
GlyburideGlyburidePatients in which the fasting glucose persisted above the treatment goal (fasting glucose \<126 mg/dl) after a 4 week diet period will receive glyburide. The dose of the medication will be adjusted based on the results of fasting glucose values. At each visit patients will return the leftover tablets; counts of the tablets will be the method for measuring the adherence to treatment. The medical study participants who decided to doses of glibenclamide will not know the allele of ABCA1 gene under study.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in plasma fasting glucose20 weeks

The effects of the alleles under study on the glucose lowering effect of glyburide will be assessed in 20 week study. Diet and exercise will be controlled per protocol

Secondary Outcome Measures
