Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Fasting TG � 200 mg/dL (2.26 mmol/L) and (Screening/Enrollment Visit) or Visit 1.1 (Retest) 2. HDL-C � 40 mg/dL (1.03 mmol/L) at Visit 1 (Screening/Enrollment Visit) or Visit 1.1 (Retest) 3. Type 2 diabetes of longer than 12 weeks duration documented in medical records, for example: local laboratory evidence through medical record review of elevated HbA1c (� 6.5% [48 mmol/mol]), elevated plasma glucose (fasting � 126 mg/dL [7.0 mmol/L], 2-hour � 200 mg/dL [11.1 mmol/L] during oral glucose tolerance testing, or random value � 200 mg/dL with classic symptoms, or currently taking medication for treatment of diabetes; AND either; a) Age � 50 years if male or � 55 years if female (primary prevention cohort), OR b) Age � 18 years and established systemic atherosclerosis (secondary prevention cohort), defined as any 1 of the following: i. Prior MI or ischemic (non-hemorrhagic) stroke ii. Coronary angiographic lesion of � 60% stenosis in a major epicardial vessel or � 50% left main stenosis iii. Asymptomatic carotid disease with � 70% carotid artery stenosis iv. Symptomatic carotid disease with � 50% carotid artery stenosis v. Symptomatic lower extremity PAD (ie, intermittent claudication, rest pain, lower extremity ischemic ulceration, or major amputation with either ankle-brachial index � 0.9 or other diagnostic testing [toe-brachial index, angiogram, or other imaging study]) vi. Prior arterial revascularization procedure (including coronary, carotid, or peripheral angioplasty/stenting, bypass, or atherectomy/endarterectomy)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Current or planned use of fibrates or agents with PPAR-�± agonist activity (eg, saroglitazar) within 6 weeks (42 days) of Visit 1 (Screening/Enrollment Visit). Note: PPAR-�³ agonists (eg, glizatones such as pioglitazone and rosiglitazone) are allowed 2. Known sensitivity to PPAR-�± agonists or tablet excipients 3. Initiation of, or change in, current TG-lowering therapy within 12 weeks of Visit 1 (if applicable).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary objective of the study is to determine whether pemafibrate administered at a dose of 0.2 mg twice daily will delay the time to first occurrence of any component of the clinical composite endpoint of:Timepoint: - Nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI); - Nonfatal ischemic stroke; - Hospitalization for unstable angina requiring unplanned coronary revascularization; or - Cardiovascular (CV) death

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary scientific aim of this study is to investigate 1) the efficacy (time to first occurrence) of a number of secondary CV and diabetes-related vascular and nonvascular endpoints in the study population, and 2) the efficacy (as measured by the percent change from baseline) for a number of lipid measures.Timepoint: from time to first occurrence and as measured by the percent change from baseline
