Summary

This trial will study the effects of rosiglitazone on exercise tolerance, coronary artery calcification, and diabetes indicators in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 25-75 with prediabetes, specifically impaired glucose tolerance but not yet diabetic (FPG <126 mg/dL, HbA1c <6.5%), and a BMI of 25-40 can join this trial. Women must be non-pregnant, postmenopausal or using barrier contraception. Exclusions include severe liver disease, hypersensitivity to thiazolidinediones, chronic steroid use, recent weight loss programs or intensive exercise initiation.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if rosiglitazone can prevent coronary artery disease in people with impaired glucose tolerance over an 18-month period compared to a placebo. Participants will undergo tests for exercise tolerance and heart health at the start, after one year and at the end of the study.
What are the potential side effects?
Rosiglitazone may cause side effects like fluid retention leading to swelling and weight gain; it could also increase risk for heart problems or worsen existing diabetes.
