Pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety of aleglitazar for the treatment of type 2 diabetes with high cardiovascular risk.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:In preliminary clinical studies, aleglitazar, a new dual PPAR-α-γ agonist, has been demonstrated to improve hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This review will provide up-to-date information on the clinical safety and efficacy of aleglitazar, which is currently under Phase III clinical investigation for reduction of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes and recent acute coronary syndrome. AREAS COVERED:A PubMed literature search (January 1950 to February 2011) was conducted using the following search terms: aleglitazar, PPAR, PPAR α agonist, PPAR γ agonist and PPAR α/γ agonist. Additional articles were gathered using reference lists from sources obtained from the original literature search. This review summarizes available information pertaining to pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, clinical studies and safety/tolerability of aleglitazar. The effects of this new drug are compared and contrasted with those of fibrates (PPAR-α agonists), thiazolidinediones (PPAR-γ agonists) and other dual PPAR-α-γ agonists. EXPERT OPINION:Preliminary evidence from clinical studies with aleglitazar is promising, with reported improvements in glycemia, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B and blood pressure. However, PPAR-α- and -γ-associated side effects have been observed and additional large-scale, long-term clinical studies are necessary to better understand the clinical implications of these effects.
