Among the many risk factors of atherosclerosis in diabetic patients, LDL(low density lipoprotein) cholesterol is now being regarded as one of the most important modifiable one. Recent researches have revealed that the plasma LDL could be sub-divided according to the size of the particles into large buoyant LDL and small dense LDL. Small dense LDL is very atherogenic. Increased plasma triglyceride and the presence of insulin resistance are proved to be positively correlated well with the amount of small dense LDL in diabetic patients.\n\nWe would like to see omega-3 acid(OMACOR) which is now widely used in clinical practice to decrease plasma triglyceride could change the amount of plasma small dense LDL in type 2 diabetic patients with combined hyperlipidemia.\n\nThis trial is consisted of 6 weeks of wash out for the patients already taking statin. After that, daily 4 grams of omega-3 acid(OMACOR) will be administered for 10 weeks. Before and after the administration of study drug, we will measure the change of the amount of plasma small dense LDL via ultracentrifuge/non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by oil red O and coomassie blue staining. As a secondary outcome measure, we will also assess the change of HDL(high density lipoprotein) cholesterol sub-type by the same method.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '70 Years', 'minimumAge': '40 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Agreed for informed consent\n* Age between 40-70 years old\n* Type 2 diabetes mellitus\n* Combined hyperlipidemia\n* Serum triglyceride level between 200-500(mg/dl)\n* No sudden change of glucose lowering therapies during trial, anticipated\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Hypersensitivity to OMACOR(Omega-3 fatty acid)\n* Alcoholics\n* Pregnancy\n* Proliferative diabetic retinopathy\n* Patients already taking fibrates\n* Enrolled in other clinical trials during the recent 3 months\n* Severe ischemic heart disease, liver disease, neurological disease\n* AST/ALT level 2 folds above the normal reference level\n* Psychiatric disorder not adequately controlled\n* Serum creatinine over 2.0 (mg/dl)\n* Previous pancreatic surgery\n* Patients who can not maintain regular diet'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00758927', 'briefTitle': 'The Effects of Omega-3 Fatty Acid (OMACOR) on the Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL) Sub-fraction in Type 2 Diabetic Patients', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Inje University'}, 'officialTitle': 'The Effects of OMACOR on the LDL Sub-fraction in Korean Type 2 Diabetic Patients With Combined Hyperlipidemia', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '08-OM-9408'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'PLACEBO_COMPARATOR', 'label': '2', 'description': 'Placebo administration for 10 weeks with exercise and diet therapy', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Placebo control']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': '1', 'description': 'Omacor 4 gram per day with exercise and diet therapy for 10 weeks', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Omega-3 acid 4 grams per day']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Omega-3 acid 4 grams per day', 'type': 'DRUG', 'otherNames': ['OMACOR'], 'description': 'OMACOR 4 grams per day is administered simultaneously with exercise and diet therapy', 'armGroupLabels': ['1']}, {'name': 'Placebo control', 'type': 'DRUG', 'otherNames': ['Placebo'], 'description': 'Placebo will be administered simultaneously with exercise and diet therapy in same intensity with the experimental arm', 'armGroupLabels': ['2']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '602-715', 'city': 'Busan', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'South Korea', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Duk K Kim, M.D., Ph.D.', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'dkkim@dau.ac.kr', 'phone': '82-51-240-5030'}], 'facility': 'Dong-A University Medical Center', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 35.10168, 'lon': 129.03004}}, {'zip': '614-735', 'city': 'Busan', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'South Korea', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Jeong H Park, M.D., Ph.D.', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'pjhdoc@chol.com', 'phone': '82-51-890-6074'}, {'name': 'Sang H Byun, RN, CDE, MS', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'busanmed260@hanmail.net', 'phone': '82-51-890-6471'}], 'facility': 'Paik Diabetes Center', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 35.10168, 'lon': 129.03004}}, {'city': 'Busan', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'South Korea', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Mikyung Kim, MD PhD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'kmkdoc@yahoo.co.kr', 'phone': '82-10-4547-9288'}, {'name': 'Mikyung Kim, MD PhD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR'}], 'facility': 'Endocrinology and Metabolism, Maryknoll General Hospital', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 35.10168, 'lon': 129.03004}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Jeong H Park, M.D., Ph.D.', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'pjhdoc@chol.com', 'phone': '82-51-890-6074'}, {'name': 'Mi K Kim, M.D., Ph.D.', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'kmkdoc@hanmail.net', 'phone': '82-10-4547-9288'}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Jeong H Park, M.D., Ph.D.', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Director, Paik Diabetes Center, Pusan Paik Hospital, Inje University'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Inje University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'Kuhnil Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.', 'class': 'INDUSTRY'}], 'responsibleParty': {'oldNameTitle': 'Jeong Hyun Park/Professor', 'oldOrganization': 'Pusan Paik Hospital, Inje University'}}}}
