Atmeg (Atorvastatin and Omega-3 Combination) and Carotid Atherosclerosis in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Combined Dyslipidemia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a randomized controlled study to assess the effect of atorvastatin and omega 3 combination therapy compared with atorvastatin and ezetimibe combination therapy in Korean T2DM patients with asymptomatic atherosclerosis.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
|
Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
In patients with type 2 diabetes with atherosclerotic combined dyslipidemia, the effect of atorvastatin and omega 3 combination on the progression of carotid intima media thickness and carotid artery plaque will be evaluated by 3D carotid ultrasound.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Volume of carotid artery plaque [24 weeks]
measured by 3D ultrasound imaging
Secondary Outcome Measures

Severity of coronary artery stenosis percent
- Plaque characteristics Plaque characteristics Plaque characteristics Plaque characteristics [24 weeks]
changes of non-calcified plaque volume (mm3)
- Coronary artery calcium score [24 weeks]
0: No calcification of artery [higher scores implies worsening]

changes of HbA1c (%)
- Lipid metabolism [24 weeks]
TG concentration, HDL-cholesterol concentration
- Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis [24 weeks]
Body composition of fat mass (kg)
- Proteinuria [24 weeks]
albumin-to-creatinine ratio (mg/g)
- Changes of gut microbiota [24 weeks]
measured by 16S rRNA or metagenome sequencing, comparing the composition or each phylum/genus/species
