Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Fasting TG = 200 mg/dL (2.26 mmol/L) and 40 mg/day must have been taking and tolerating that dose for at least 12 months. # If untreated or on stable dosing (ie, for at least 12 weeks) of another lipid-lowering regimen that may include a statin with or without ezetimibe and/or a PCSK9 inhibitor + Statin intolerance is defined as: the inability to tolerate at least 2 statins: 1 statin at the lowest daily starting dose (defined as rosuvastatin 5 mg, atorvastatin 10 mg, simvastatin 10 mg, lovastatin 20 mg, pravastatin 40 mg, fluvastatin 40 mg or pitavastatin 2 mg), AND another statin at any dose, due to skeletal muscle-related symptoms, other than those due to strain or trauma, such as pain, aches, weakness, or cramping, that begins or increases during statin therapy and stops when statin therapy is discontinued. Participants not receiving a daily regimen of a statin (e.g., 1-3 times weekly) could also be considered “statin intolerant” if they cannot tolerate a cumulative weekly statin dose of 7 times the lowest approved tablet size, and the criteria outlined above are also met. 5. Ability to understand and comply with study procedures and give written informed consent. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Nu

(45 mL) of liquor 23.History of hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption 24.Women who are pregnant, lactating, planning to be pregnant or lactating during the study period, or WOCP who are not using an acceptable method of contraception 25.A medical condition, other than vascular disease, with l

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary scientific aim of the PROMINENT study is to assess whether treatment with the selective peroxisome proliferator activated receptor modulator alpha (SPPARM-a), pemafibrate, will prevent myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, coronary revascularization, and cardiovascular (CV) death in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who have elevated triglycerides (TG) and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels and are at high risk for future CV events. Specifically, the 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: •nonfatal MI; •nonfatal ischemic stroke; •coronary revascularization; or •CV death.;Secondary Objective: The 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.;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint is the time from randomization to the first occurrence of any component of the clinical composite endpoint of: •Nonfatal MI •Nonfatal ischemic stroke •Coronary revascularization •Cardiovascular death;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Variable as event driven

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The group A (clinical) endpoints are time to first occurrence of: - The 4-component composite endpoint of non-fatal MI, non-fatal ischemic stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina requiring unplanned coronary revascularization or cardiovascular death - The 3-component composite endpoint of non-fatal MI, non-fatal ischemic stroke, or cardiovascular death - Any component of the primary endpoint or hospitalization for HF - Any component of the primary endpoint or all-cause mortality - Any new or worsening PAD, defined as incidence of lower extremity revascularization, intermittent claudication, rest pain, lower extremity ischemic ulceration, or major amputation with either ankle-brachial index = 0.9 or other diagnostic testing (eg, toe-brachial index, angiogram, or other imaging study) - Time of first occurrence of individual endpoints and an analysis of total events (evaluating time to occurrence of the first and all recurrent nonfatal MI, non-fatal ischemic stroke, coronary revascularization, or cardiovascular death). - Additionally, as a prespecified secondary analysis, evidence of any genetic effect modification that may relate to pemafibrate and incident cardiovascular events will be evaluated. In particular, whether the effect of pemafibrate as compared with placebo on cardiovascular events differs according to known genetic polymorphisms in the PPARA gene (such as, but not limited to rs6008845), will be assessed. The group B (lipid) endpoints are: • The change from Screening/Enrollment Visit (Visit 1) to Month 4 Visit (Visit 5) for the following lipid biomarkers: TC, TG, HDL-C, non-HDL-C (calculated), VLDL-C (calculated), ApoA1, ApoC3, and ApoE; and • The change from Randomization Visit (Visit 2) to Month 6 Visit (Visit 6) for non-fasting remnant cholesterol * VLDL-C will be calculated as TC minus HDL-C minus LDL-C, where LDLC is measured by a direct homogenous method.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Variable with excepti
