Primary Endpoint
Prim objective (16 wks) for atorvastatin: Proportion of pats. who achieve measured

Study Overview

Brief Summary

The AFORRD trial is asking three important questions:

What proportion of people with Type 2 Diabetes are likely to be treated satisfactorily with a fixed dose of a statin that lowers blood cholesterol levels to help reduce the risk of heart disease? To what extent do omega-3 fatty acids lower blood triglyceride levels when given with or without a statin? Are there simple techniques that can help people to take their tablets on a regular basis?

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Prim objective (16 wks) for atorvastatin: Proportion of pats. who achieve measured

LDL levels <2.6 mmol/L (<100 mg/dl) Prim object (16 wks) for Omega-3 fatty acid:

Prop of pats. who achieve measured triglycerides <1.5 mmol/L (<200 mg/dl)

Secondary Outcomes

  • Prop of pats who achieve LDL levels <2.6 mmol/L (<100 mg/dl) at 52 weeks, taking into account whether the patient received additional atorvastatin therapy or placebo at week 16.
  • Prop of pats who achieve triglycerides <1.5 mmol/L (<200 mg/dl) at 52 weeks.
