NCT00829660

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether acarbose therapy can reduce cardiovascular-related morbidity and mortality in patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) who have established coronary heart disease (CHD) or acute coronary syndrome (ACS). A secondary objective of the study is to determine if acarbose therapy can prevent or delay transition to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in this patient population.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • A composite cardiovascular outcome defined as the time after randomisation to the first occurrence of any one of the following: -Cardiovascular death -Non-fatal MI -Non-fatal stroke -Hospitalisation for Unstable Angina -Hospitalisation for Heart Failure

    Follow-up until 728 adjudicated Primary Outcome Measures have been recorded

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Transition to type 2 diabetes confirmed by two successive diagnostic plasma glucose values (FPG >7.0 mmol/l and/or 2HPG > 11.1 mmol/l), with no intervening non-diagnostic values.

  • All cause mortality

  • Each of the components of the primary composite cardiovascular outcome will also be analysed individually, both as first and as total events.

  • Major Cardiovascular Event (MACE) composite cardiovascular outcome, defined as the time after randomisation to the first occurrence of any one of the following: - Cardiovascular death - Non-fatal MI - Non-fatal stroke

  • Impaired renal function as evidenced by: A reduced estimate of glomerular filtration rate( eGFR <30 ml/minute/ 1.73 m2) estimated using the Chinese MDRD formula, a doubling of the baseline plasma creatinine level, a halving of the baseline eGFR

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Acarbose

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The participants were given one tablet (50mg) of acarbose per day, taken with a meal during their first week (7 days). During the second week, the dose was increased to two tablets/day (50mg twice a day i.e. 100mg/day) and then three tablets/day (50mg three times a day i.e. 150mg/day) thereafter. The maximum tolerated dose is being taken for the duration of the trial (maximum dose is 150mg/day).

Drug: Acarbose

Matching Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The participants were given one tablet of matching placebo per day, taken with a meal during their first week (7 days). During the second week, the dose was increased to two tablets/day and then three tablets/day thereafter. The maximum tolerated dose is being taken for the duration of the trial (maximum dose is 3 tablets/day).

Drug: Matching Placebo

Interventions

The participants were given one tablet (50mg) of acarbose per day, taken with a meal during their first week (7 days). During the second week, the dose was increased to two tablets/day (50mg twice a day i.e. 100mg/day) and then three tablets/day (50mg three times a day i.e. 150mg/day) thereafter. The maximum tolerated dose is being taken for the duration of the trial (maximum dose is 150mg/day).

Also known as: Glucobay
Acarbose

The participants were given one tablet of matching placebo per day, taken with a meal during their first week (7 days). During the second week, the dose was increased to two tablets/day and then three tablets/day thereafter. The maximum tolerated dose is being taken for the duration of the trial (maximum dose is 3 tablets/day).

Eligibility Criteria

Age50 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Male or female, aged 50 years or more.
  • Definite CHD, defined as a, b or c below:
  • Previous myocardial infarction (MI) or Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), but not within the last 3 months, with any two of the following:
  • Typical clinical presentation
  • Confirmatory ECG changes
  • Appropriate elevation of cardiac enzymes/biomarkers
  • Previous unstable angina (UA) or Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), but not within the last 3 months, with any two of the following:
  • Typical clinical presentation
  • Confirmatory ECG changes
  • Either elevation of a cardiac biomarker or a \>50% stenosis in ≥1 major epicardial coronary artery shown on coronary angiography or CT angiography. Where stenosis is reported in a qualitative manner, the categories "moderate" and "severe" will be taken as equating to \>50% stenosis.
  • Current stable angina defined as:
  • Typical clinical history with symptoms occurring within the last month, and
  • A \>50% stenosis in ≥1 major epicardial coronary artery shown on coronary angiography or CT angiography. Where stenosis is reported in a qualitative manner, the categories "moderate" and "severe" will be taken as equating to \>50% stenosis.
  • Impaired glucose tolerance diagnosed on a single standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) , defined as a 2-hour plasma glucose (2HPG) value ≥7.8 but \<11.1 mmol/l and a fasting plasma glucose (FPG) \<7.0 mmol/l within six months prior to enrollment.
  • Optimised cardiovascular drug therapy.
  • +2 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Previous history of diabetes, other than gestational diabetes.
  • MI, unstable angina, stroke or a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) within the previous three months.
  • Planned or anticipated coronary, cerebrovascular or peripheral arterial revascularisation or other major surgical intervention, at the time of randomisation
  • New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV heart failure.
  • Evidence of severe hepatic disease.
  • Evidence of severe renal impairment or an eGFR \<30 ml/min/1.73m2 (derived using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease, MDRD, Chinese equation)
  • Any other condition likely to reduce adherence to the protocol e.g. alcoholism, major active psychiatric disorder, cognitive impairment or a condition likely to markedly limit life expectancy e.g. malignancy.
  • Pregnancy (or planned pregnancy within the next five years).
  • Concurrent participation in any other clinical interventional trial. Note: Patients who were treated previously with an alphaglucosidase inhibitor must have at least a three-month washout period before being randomised into the ACE trial.
  • Known intolerance to alpha glucosidase inhibitors or gastrointestinal problems.
  • Thought by the investigator for any reason to be unsuitable for participation in this clinical study.
