A clinical trial to study the effects of ZYH1 in patients with high triglyceride levels in HIV associated lipodystrophy. .[Prospective Randomised Efficacy and Safety of Saroglitazar (PRESS VII)].

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Pure hyperglyceridemia,
Registration Number
CTRI/2010/091/000107
Lead Sponsor
Cadila Healthcare Limited
Brief Summary

This is a prospective, multi-centric, open-label, single arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 4mg of ZYH1 in hypertriglyceridemia in HIV associated lipodystrophy. Subjects should be clinically diagnosed as HIV Lipodystrophy with confirmed diagnosis of HIV 1 and on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for at last 18 months with Triglyceride level ranging between 200 to 500 mg% .before getting enrolled in the trial. The required sample size for this study to achieve 80% power at the 5% level of significance is a total of 50 subjects. The primary efficacy variable is the Reduction in Triglyceride (TG) at Week 6 and 12 of the treatment period compared with baseline. The change from baseline will be determined as the difference between the means for the treatment period (Week 6 and12) and the baseline. For the efficacy endpoints, treatment effect will be evaluated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model. Treatment effects will be estimated using the least-square means and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from the ANOVA model. Statistical significance will be defined as a two-sided p-value <0.05.
