E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary efficacy objective of this study to evaluate the effect of RO4607381 on endothelial function as measured by flow mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery in patients with CHD or CHD risk equivalents at 12 weeks. The primary safety objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of RO4607381 on blood pressure as measured by 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) at 4 weeks. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of this study are: To evaluate the effect of RO4607381 on endothelial function as measured by flow mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery in patients with CHD or CHD risk equivalents at 36 weeks To evaluate the effect of RO4607381 on blood pressure as measured by 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) at 12 and 26 weeks To explore the effect of RO4607381 on biomarkers of inflammation, oxidation and CV risk (hsCRP, IL6, sP-Selectin, sE-Selectin, sICAM, sVCAM, PLA2, MMP-3, MMP-9, Adiponectin, MPO, TPA, PAI-1) To explore the effect of RO4607381 on clinical and laboratory parameters including blood lipid, lipoprotein and apolipoprotein levels, CETP mass and activity, and insulin sensitivity To evaluate the safety profile of RO4607381 To assess the effect of RO4607381 on clinical outcomes as part of an outcome analysis across the entire phase program |
