NCT00186537	Comparing Tricor, Avandia, or Weight Loss to Lower Cardiovascular Risk Factors in People With High Triglycerides.	Completed	Abbott	N/A	Approximately 1/4 of the US population has insulin resistance and the associated risk factors such as elevated lipid levels -triglycerides (type of fat from what we eat and what the liver produces and low HDL cholesterol which is the good cholesterol helping to protect against heart disease. Currently one known treatment for this a medication called fenofibrate, another medication that can improve insulin resistance is rosiglitazone, a third treatment known to improve insulin resistance an decrease triglycerides is weight loss. In this study insulin resistant individuals with elevated triglycerides and or a ratio of triglycerides to HDL cholesterol of 3:1 or greater will be randomized (selected by chance) to receive one of these treatments and results of insulin sensitivity and cardiac risk profiles will be compared at the end of the study.

NCT00195793	A 16 Week Comparative Study of Fenofibrate Versus Ezetimibe as Add-on Therapy to Atorvastatin	Completed	Abbott	Phase 3	The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of adding Tricor 145 mg to once daily atorvastatin 20 mg on CHD lipid laboratory parameters.
NCT00251680	Efficacy of Lapaquistat Acetate in Subjects Currently Treated With Lipid-Lowering Therapy.	Completed	Takeda	Phase 3	The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of lapaquistat acetate, once daily (QD), taken with established lipid-lowering therapy in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
NCT00470262	Effects of PPAR Ligands on Ectopic Fat Accumulation and Inflammation	Completed	VA Office of Research and Development	N/A	The relationship between obesity and insulin resistance is known, however the mechanism(s) associating obesity with insulin resistance is not well understood. Inflammation and accumulation of fat in non fat tissue (like muscle) are conditions found on obesity which could be the potential link between obesity and insulin resistance. This study is designed to test the effects of two different drugs on numerous features of the obesity and insulin resistance in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance. Impaired glucose tolerance is a condition where blood sugar is too high after drinking a sugary drink containing 75 grams of sugar. Impaired glucose tolerant subjects are insulin resistant and at risk of developing diabetes. The drugs to be used are fenofibrate and pioglitazone. Fenofibrate is used to reduce the amount of fat (triglycerides) in the blood while pioglitazone is routinely used to make the body more sensitive to insulin in patients with diabetes. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of either of these two medications (pioglitazone and fenofibrate) alone or the combination of both on fat accumulation in body (muscle) and inflammation. The amount of fat accumulation in muscle is thought to affect insulin sensitivity. In addition, the changes in the level of proteins produced by fat tissues will be studied in response to the two medications in this study. These proteins are thought to be involved in diabetes and insulin resistance. These studies are designed to examine fundamental clinical mechanisms underlying the metabolic syndrome and diabetes.
NCT00754039	Study to Compare Welchol and TriCor to TriCor Alone in Patients With High Cholesterol	Completed	Daiichi Sankyo Inc.	Phase 4	The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of Welchol in combination with TriCor compared to TriCor alone on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with high cholesterol.
