E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the effect of treatment with liraglutide compared to glimepiride, as add-on to metformin, for one year on circulating levels of EPCs in patients with type 2 diabetes poorly controlled. |
Evaluar el efecto del tratamiento liraglutida durante un año sobre los niveles circulantes de las EPCs en pacientes con diabetes tipo 2 mal controlada en comparación con glimepirida. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess the efficacy of liraglutide compared to glimepiride, as add-on to metformin, with regards to other surrogate biomarkers of cardiovascular risk:
- IMT
- Central blood pressure
- CD40 ligand (CD40L)
- Highly sensitive c-reactive protein (hsCRP)
- lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2)
- BNP
We will also study the relationship between EPC levels and all these biomarkers.
Other safety parameters of glycaemic control will also be measured: HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and other laboratory parameters (insulin, lipid profile, creatinine and albumin). They will also be correlated with EPC levels. |
Evaluar la eficacia de liraglutida sobre otros biomarcadores de riesgo cardiovascular: grosor intima-media (GIM), presión central, ligando de CD40 (CD40L), proteína C reactiva ultrasensible (PCR-us), lipoproteína asociada a la fosfolipasa A2 (Lp-PLA2) y péptido natriurético cerebral (BNP) en comparación con glimepirida.
Se estudiará la relación entre los niveles de EPCs y estos biomarcadores.
También se medirán los siguientes parámetros secundarios: HbA1c, glucosa en ayunas, y otros parámetros de laboratorio (insulina, perfil pipídico creatinia y albúmina), que también se correlacionarán con los niveles de EPC. |
