Evaluation of Chiglitazar Sodium With Lifestyle Intervention for Reversing Prediabetes

Официальное название

Prediabetes Reversion Through Combined Intervention and Strict Evaluation Trial: A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study on the Efficacy of Chiglitazar Sodium Combined With Lifestyle Intervention in Restoring Normal Glucose Tolerance in Prediabetic Patients

Обзор

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chiglitazar Sodium combined with lifestyle intervention for reversing prediabetes to normal glucose metabolism. Eligible participants with prediabetes will be randomized 1:1 to receive either Chiglitazar Sodium 48 mg once daily or matching placebo, both combined with standardized lifestyle intervention, for 52 weeks, followed by a 12-week observation period and optional long-term extension. The primary endpoint is the reversion rate to normal glucose metabolism at week 64. Secondary endpoints include progression to type 2 diabetes, glycemic control, lipid profile, blood pressure, UACR, HOMA-IR, HOMA-β, body weight, BMI, and waist-to-height ratio. Exploratory endpoints include inflammatory markers and long-term cardiovascular outcomes. Safety endpoints include adverse events, vital signs, ECG, and laboratory parameters.

Подробное описание

Prediabetes is an intermediate state of hyperglycemia that precedes the development of type 2 diabetes. Reversing prediabetes to normal glucose metabolism represents a promising strategy for diabetes prevention. Chiglitazar Sodium is a novel PPAR pan-agonist with potential benefits on glycemic control and metabolic parameters.

This national multicenter study will be conducted across 30 sites in China. A total of 472 participants aged 18-70 years with prediabetes (according to Chinese expert consensus criteria, including IFG, IGT or IFG+IGT) and BMI 20-32 kg/m² will be enrolled.

The study consists of four phases:

Screening Period (up to 2 weeks): Assessment of eligibility including OGTT, laboratory tests, and medical history.

Double-Blind Treatment Period (52 weeks): Eligible participants are randomized 1:1 to receive either Chiglitazar Sodium 48 mg once daily or matching placebo, both combined with standardized lifestyle intervention (diet and exercise according to Chinese Diabetes Prevention Guidelines). Study visits occur at weeks 4, 12, 24, 36, and 52.

Observation Period (12 weeks, weeks 53-64): Participants who have not developed diabetes enter a 12-week drug-free observation period, with final assessment at week 64.

Extension Period (up to week 156): Participants who have not developed diabetes and provide consent may continue follow-up for long-term cardiovascular outcomes assessment at weeks 104 and 156.

The primary endpoint is the proportion of participants achieving reversion to normal glucose metabolism at week 64. Secondary endpoints include progression to type 2 diabetes, changes in fasting plasma glucose, OGTT (1h/2h PPG), HbA1c, lipid profile (TG, TC, LDL-C, HDL-C), blood pressure, UACR, HOMA-IR, HOMA-β, body weight, BMI, and waist-to-height ratio. Exploratory endpoints include changes in inflammatory markers (hsCRP, IL-6, TNF-α) and incidence of heart failure, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, cardiovascular death, or all-cause death through week 156. Safety will be monitored throughout.
