Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
The hope for this drug is that it would reduce cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in patients with type II diabetes mellitus, however it failed at Phase 3 evaluation in diabetes patients with acute coronary symdrome due to safety concerns. Aleglitazar treatment was associated with increased bone fractures, heart failure and gastrointestinal bleeding. Subsequently, all Phase 3 aleglitazar trials were terminated.
