Abdominal Obesity, Atherogenic Dyslipidaemia
Conditions
Keywords
Atherogenic-dyslipidaemia, PPARs
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of GFT505 80mg in reducing serum Triglycerides (TG) and increasing High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) levels compared with placebo in atherogenic dyslipidaemic patients with abdominal obesity, and to assess the tolerability and safety of once-a-day administrations of oral doses of GFT505 during 28 days.
Detailed description
The study period per patient is 7 to 14 weeks: a screening period (1 to 8 weeks) will precede a 4-week double-blind treatment period and a 2-week follow-up period. During the screening period, patients will be asked to start or continue adequate diet and exercise and to stop their lipid-lowering medication (for not treatment-naïve patients). For patient taking any lipid-regulating medication, a minimum of 8-week wash-out from lipid-regulating therapies (fibrates, statins, …) is required.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Decrease in serum Triglycerides (TG) level | 28 days | To evaluate the efficacy of GFT505 80mg in reducing serum TG compared with placebo. Evaluation will be made during the selection period, then the first day prior any drug intake, 2 and 4 weeks after the first treatment intake and 2 weeks after the last treatment intake (follow-up visit) |
| Increase in serum High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) level | 28 days | To evaluate the efficacy of GFT505 80mg in increasing HDL-C levels compared with placebo. Evaluation will be made during the selection period, then the first day prior any drug intake, 2 and 4 weeks after the first treatment intake and 2 weeks after the last treatment intake (follow-up visit) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Decrease in Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) levels | 28 days | To evaluate the efficacy of GFT505 80mg in reducing LDL-C levels compared with placebo. Evaluation will be made during the selection period, then the first day prior any drug intake, 2 and 4 weeks after the first treatment intake and 2 weeks after the last treatment intake (follow-up visit) |
| Decrease in non-HDL-C (High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol) levels | 28 days | To evaluate the efficacy of GFT505 80mg in reducing non-HDL-C levels compared with placebo. Evaluation will be made during the selection period, then the first day prior any drug intake, 2 and 4 weeks after the first treatment intake and 2 weeks after the last treatment intake (follow-up visit) |
