Current Primary Outcome Measures | Change in mean percentage change in BMD at various sites by Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry(DXA) from baseline and at 6, 12 months in PIO versus MET treatment group. [Time Frame: 6-18 months] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]The primary endpoint was change in mean percentage change in BMD values at the lumbar spine (L1-L4), femoral neck and total hip by DXA from baseline and at 6 and 12 months in the PIO and the MET treatment groups. |
Current Secondary Outcome Measures | Bone turnover Markers and other Biomarkers [Time Frame: 6-18 months] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]Secondary end-points were changes in serum sclerostin, serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP), serum procollagen type1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) and serum C-terminal crosslinking telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX); and urinary N-terminal crosslinking telopeptide type 1 collagen (u-NTX); serum calcium, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), and serum Dickkopf-1( DKK-1) at various time intervals from baseline between PIO vs MET treatment. |

Brief Summary | The study tests whether pioglitazone (PIO)as compared to metformin (MET)affects bone health including bone mineral density, bone turnover markers, and osteocyte biomarker in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). |
Detailed Description | Women with T2DM exhibit normal or higher bone mineral density (BMD) for their age, but with approximately twice the overall risk of bone fragility compared with nondiabetic subjects. Known the apparent association between T2DM and the risk of bone fragility, examining the effects of commonly used oral antidiabetic agents; such as MET and thiazolidinediones (TZDs; for example rosiglitazone [ROS] or PIO), on BMD and/or bone turnover is of great clinical relevance for both diabetic patients and their treating physicians. Recent clinical trials, showed that women treated with ROS had higher risk of bone fragility and self-reported adverse events. Similarly, women on long-term treatment with PIO for T2DM experienced higher incidence of distal extremity fractures. TZDs are agonists of the nuclear transcription factor peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) which increase insulin sensitivity and improve glycemic control in T2DM. PPAR (γ) acts also as a molecular factor that favours adipogenesis over osteoblastogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells. The latter was suggested as a potential mechanism for the effects of TZDs on bone among others. In humans, TZDs decrease BMD and increase bone fragility risk. This study tests whether pioglitazone as compared to MET (both are commonly used in the treatment of T2DM in Saudi Arabia and other countries) affects bone health including bone mineral density, bone turnover markers, and osteocyte biomarker in patients with T2DM. |
