Study information

Primary study design	Interventional
Study design	Randomised controlled trial
Secondary study design	Randomised controlled trial
Scientific title
Study acronym	PRESERVE TRIAL
Study objectives	Type two diabetes is cause by progressive beta-cell dysfunction against a background of obesity and insulin resistance in susceptible individuals. Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR) gamma-mediated mechanisms are involved in the regulation of important processes that may protect the pancreatic beta-cell. Local pancreatic and systemic activation of the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS), as frequently observed in people with obesity/insulin resistance, may be harmful to the pancreatic beta-cell causing beta-cell dysfunction and beta-cell apoptosis. Treatment of subjects at high risk to develope type two diabetes, including those with impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance (with/without a familiy history of diabetes) with a PPAR gamma agonist and/or an angiotensin II receptor blocker may improve beta-cell function.
Ethics approval(s)	Ethics approval received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied	Impaired glucose metabolism
Intervention	Participants will be randomised into one of the following four treatment groups for a 52-week intervention: 1. Rosiglitazone 8 mg daily and valsartan-placebo 2. Valsartan 320 mg daily and rosiglitazone-placebo 3. Rosiglitazone 8 mg daily and valsartan 320 mg daily 4. Rosiglitazone-placebo and valsartan-placebo Further information as of 10/07/12: The decision was made not to initiate the rosiglitazone arm because of the reported potential cardiovascular risks associated with rosiglitazone.
Intervention type	Drug
Phase	Not Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)	Rosiglitazone and Valsartan
Primary outcome measure(s)	To compare beta-cell function, as reflected by the first phase insulin secretion corrected for insulin sensitivity and/or the arginine-stimulated insulin secretion, both co-primary endpoints as measured during the eu-hyperglycemic clamp procedure, following 52 weeks of rosiglitazone, valsartan or rosiglitazone combined with valsartan in subjects with IFG (with and without a family history of DM2) and/or IGT.
Key secondary outcome measure(s)	To compare the effects of 52 weeks of rosiglitazone, valsartan or rosiglitazone combined with valsartan in subjects with IFG (with and without a family history of DM2) and/or IGT with respect to: 1. Fasting plasma glucose 2. Second phase insulin secretion in response to hyperglycemia during the hyperglycemic clamp test 3. All the above-mentioned beta-cell function parameters at 12 weeks after discontinuation of therapy to assess durability/disease modifying effects 4. The conversion from Normal Glucose Tolerance (NGT) to IGT or diabetes (as evaluated by an oral glucose tolerance test) 5. HbA1c, fasting blood glucose and lipid/lipoprotein concentrations 6. Insulin sensitivity assessed during the euglycemic clamp test 7. Safety and tolerability, including assessments of hypoglycemic events, blood pressure, and urinary albumin excretion rate
