Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    • To assess the effects of 12 weeks of AMG 145 SC alone, AMG 145 SC with ezetimibe, or ezetimibe alone, on absolute change in LDL-C, and percent change in non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), apolipoprotein B (ApoB), total cholesterol/HDL-C ratio, and ApoB/apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA1) ratio in hypercholesterolemic subjects unable to tolerate an effective dose of a HMG CoA reductase inhibitor

    Two substudies are described in the 20090159 protocol, dated 25th April 2011.

    (1) Subjects participating in the Pharmacogenetic substudy will complete a separate informed consent form. The PG study will investigate potential correlations of study data including the subject response to AMG 145 with genetic variation in markers of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) signaling, low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) turnover, cholesterol metabolism, inflammation, and plaque stability.

    (2) Subjects participating in the PK substudy will complete a separate informed consent. The PK substudy will provide data to characterize the PK of AMG 145 after multiple SC doses. PCSK9 levels will also be evaluated.
