Summary:
Don’t let diabetes lead to heart problems. Lend a hand to help us research a potential medication that might prevent them.
The PROMINENT Study is researching a potential new medication (study drug) for people with type 2 diabetes and elevated triglycerides (a type of fat in the blood) to see if it can help prevent heart attacks and other heart-related problems. The study will also look at how safe the study drug is, and how it affects the level of triglycerides in the blood.
