Scientific titleCan the use of the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR)-gamma agonist rosiglitazone reverse the abnormal distribution of fat, as well as disturbances in glucose and lipid metabolism in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-associated lipodystrophy syndrome? A randomised controlled trial
Study acronymRosi-trial
Study objectivesRosiglitazone results in an improvement in insulin sensitivity at the level of the liver as well as peripherally. In addition disturbances in fat distribution could improve, especially in this specific group of patients, who do not use d4T nor a protease inhibitor, which are known to cause lipodystrophy.
Ethics approval(s)Approval received from the Medical ethical committee of the Academical Medical Centre in Amsterdam on the 2nd October 2002 (ref: MEC 02/126).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHuman Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-associated lipodystrophy syndrome
InterventionPatients will receive either rosiglitazone 8 mg daily (2/3) or placebo (1/3) during four months.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Rosiglitazone
Primary outcome measure1. Insulin sensitivity at the level of glucose production by liver, glucose uptake by muscle and fat and lipolysis. This will be measured by a hyperinsulinaemic clamp using stabile isotopes (d2-glucose and D5-glycerol) and by performing muscle biopsies at baseline and after four months
2. Fat distribution by a Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA)- and a Computed Tomography (CT)-scan at baseline and after four months
Secondary outcome measures1. Lipid levels
2. Glucoregulatory hormones
3. Adipocytokines
4. Liver enzymes
5. Waist-hip ratio
Overall study start date03/11/2003
Completion date01/08/2006
