In the SERENADE study, treatment-naive type 2 diabetes patients receiving
rimonabant 20mg per day for a duration of six months significantly lowered
their HbA1c levels by 0.8% from a baseline value of 7.9 as compared to a
reduction of 0.3% in the placebo group (p=0.002). In addition, patients with
an HbA1c level greater than or equal to 8.5% at baseline, significantly
reduced their HbA1c by 1.9% with rimonabant as compared to 0.7% with placebo
(p<0.0009). Over 50% of patients in the rimonabant arm of the trial achieved
HbA1c levels below 7%, the target for good glucose control as recommended by
the American Diabetes Association (ADA).(i) Importantly, these improvements
in blood glucose control were accompanied by significant and clinically
meaningful reductions in body weight of 6.7 kg (14.8 lbs) in patients
treated with rimonabant 20mg, while those patients on placebo lost only 2.7
kg (5.95 lbs) (p<0.0001).
