Diabetes REduction Approaches with ramipril and rosiglitazone Medications
ISRCTN ISRCTN61497824
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00095654
Public title Diabetes REduction Approaches with ramipril and rosiglitazone Medications
Scientific title A large, international, multi-centre, randomised double-blind controlled trial designed to determine if treatment with either ramipril and/or rosiglitazone will prevent or reduce the incidence of diabetes in people with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or impaired fasting glucose (IFG)
Acronym DREAM
Serial number at source MCT-41548
Study hypothesis Does the addition of either ramipril (up to 15 mg/day) or rosiglitazone (8 mg/day) prevent the composite outcome of either type 2 diabetes or all-cause mortality in non-diabetic people with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or impaired fasting glucose (IFG)?
