E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To investigate the effect of PPARy-activation by pioglitazone treatment on several markers of inflammation and cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes and angiographically proven coronary heart disease. Primary efficacy variable is the change of MMP-9 on day 28 vs. day 0 |

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The following secondary efficacy variables will be analysed: - IL 6; hs CRP, plasma glucose, HbA1c (d0 and d28), insulin, proinsulin intact, adiponectin, MCP-1, sCD 40L - insulin sensitivity - blood lipids (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides) - beta cell function according to HOMA-B - sICAM 1, sVICAM 1, P-Selectin, t-PA - body weight, body mass index - HOMA S - Angiotensin II - complement factors - Standardized blood pressure measurement
