A Lifestyle and Combination Medication Therapy Diabetes Prevention Study

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose It is now well established that the 21st century will be characterized by a global epidemic of Type 2 diabetes. The principal aim of the CANOE study is to determine whether individuals with the pre-diabetes condition impaired glucose tolerance can be prevented from progressing to diabetes with a healthy living lifestyle intervention and an insulin sensitizing medication. Individuals who have impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) determined during an oral glucose tolerance test will be eligible to participate in this study. All participants will receive a lifestyle dietary and exercise intervention program. Half of the participants will be randomly assigned to an insulin sensitizing medication (rosiglitazone/metformin) which is commonly used to treat Type 2 diabetes. The primary outcome for this study is the development of diabetes. The study is expected to last a total of five years.

of Type 2 diabetes. The principal aim of the CANOE study is to determine whether
individuals with the pre-diabetes condition impaired glucose tolerance can be prevented from
progressing to diabetes with a healthy living lifestyle intervention and an insulin

during an oral glucose tolerance test will be eligible to participate in this study. All

Detailed Description
The CANOE Study CAnadian Normoglycemia Outcomes Evaluation Study

It is now well accepted that the 21st Century will be characterized by a global epidemic of
Type 2 diabetes mellitus [Type 2DM]. To deal with this major health crisis, several
strategies have been proposed. These include efforts that focus on the primary prevention
of diabetes, attempts at implementing effective management of diabetes once it develops, and
the institution of appropriate proven therapies for established diabetic complications. The
CANOE study focuses on a primary prevention strategy. The study is designed to evaluate the
effect of pharmacological therapy combined with a healthy living lifestyle intervention on
Canadian individuals who are at high risk for this metabolic condition because they have
IGT.

OBJECTIVES

- To determine if treatment with Avandamet, in addition to a healthy living lifestyle
program, will prevent the development of Type 2 diabetes in Canadians at high risk for
this metabolic disorder;

- To determine if treatment with Avandamet, in addition to a healthy living lifestyle
program will improve cardiovascular risk factors associated with IGT.

STUDY DESIGN

CANOE is a moderately sized, randomized, double-blind controlled trial to determine if
Avandamet will decrease the development of diabetes in individuals at high risk for this
condition. A total of 200 patients will be followed for an average follow up of 4 years
(range 3 - 5 years). Active treatment with Avandamet (Metformin 500 mg / Rosiglitazone 2 mg)
administered as one capsule twice daily will be compared to matched placebo.

All study participants will receive a lifestyle intervention program based on the latest
national evidence-based guidelines recommended by the Canadian Diabetes Association (Can J
Diabetes, Vol 27 Suppl 2, 2003).
