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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by alirocumab (SAR236553/REGN727) as add-on therapy to stable maximally tolerated daily statin therapy in comparison with ezetimibe 10 mg after 24 weeks of treatment in subjects with hypercholesterolemia at high cardiovascular (CV) risk.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subjects were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time in language and terms appropriate for the subject and considering the local culture. During the course of the trial, subjects were provided with individual subject cards indicating the nature of the trial the subject is participating, contact details and any information needed in the event of a medical emergency. Collected personal data and human biological samples were processed in compliance with the Sanofi-Aventis Group Personal Data Protection Charter ensuring that the Group abides by the laws governing personal data protection in force in all countries in which it operates
    Background therapy
    All subjects had to receive a statin at maximally tolerated dose (simvastatin, atorvastatin and rosuvastatin). Background statin therapy was not to be changed (including dose) at least 4 weeks prior to the screening visit and throughout the whole study duration barring exceptional circumstances.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study was conducted at 126 centers in 10 countries. Overall, 1112 subjects were screened between August 2012 and May 2013, 392 of whom were screen failures. Screen failures ware mainly due to exclusion criteria met.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Randomization was stratified according to prior history of myocardial infarction (MI) or ischemic stroke, intensity of statin treatment and geographical region. Assignment to arms was done centrally using Interactive Voice/Web Response System in 2:1 ratio (alirocumab: ezetimibe) after confirmation of selection criteria. 720 subjects were randomized

    Blinding implementation details
    Alirocumab and placebo for alirocumab were provided in identically matched auto-injectors and packaged identically. Ezetimibe double-blind treatment kit boxes, either ezetimibe 10 mg or placebo for ezetimibe, had the same appearance and feel and were labeled with a double-blind label.

All available post-baseline data from week 4 to week 52 regardless of status on- or off-treatment were used in the model (ITT analysis).
