Micronized fenofibrate: a useful choice for the correction of dyslipidemia in metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes.

Cardiovascular disease is the principal cause of illness and disability in patients with diabetes, and is also the most common cause of death worldwide in adults. Fenofibrate, a member of the fibrate class of lipid-modifying drugs, is a potent triglyceride-lowering and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol-raising agent and has a variable effect on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Fenofibrate administration also leads to a modified, less atherogenic low-density lipoprotein profile, with a consistent effect toward increased low-density lipoprotein particle size and a reduction in the low-density lipoprotein particle density. Maximal clinical efficacy in fibrates has been demonstrated in subjects with dyslipidemia, particularly in populations with features of the metabolic syndrome and in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Angiographic data from the Diabetes Atherosclerosis Intervention Study (DAIS) support a similar effect of fenofibrate. However, in the recent Fenofibrate Intervention and Event Lowering in Diabetes trial (FIELD; 9795 patients with Type 2 diabetes), the rate of nonfatal macrovascular events, after adjustment for the use of other lipid-lowering agents and significant reductions in microvascular complications, was lower for the fenofibrate treatment group. These results and those from a current large trial, ACtion to COntrol cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD), will provide valuable evidence for the likely future use of this drug in combination with statins for reducing cardiovascular disease risk in the metabolic syndrome and in Type 2 diabetes.
