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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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
    The primary objective was to compare the efficacy of the two fixed-combinations (FCs) (fenofibrate/simvastatin 145/20 milligrams [mg] tablet and fenofibrate/simvastatin 145/40 mg tablet) in reducing triglyceride (TG) and increasing high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) versus simvastatin 20 mg or 40 mg, and in reducing low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) versus fenofibrate 145 mg in subjects with mixed dyslipidemia (type IIb) at high or very high risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease after 12 weeks of treatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in compliance with Good Clinical Practice ethical and scientific quality standards and the applicable national regulations to assure that the rights, safety, and well being of the participating study subjects were protected consistent with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 Subjects with documented mixed dyslipidemia (based on fasting lipids) and assessed to be at high or very high CV risk were recruited to this randomized, double-blind, active-controlled parallel-arm study from June 2012, conducted at 70 centres in 7 countries. The last subject completed in October 2013. Parts A and B were conducted in parallel.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 576 subjects met all the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria, 1 subject withdrew consent and 575 were allocated to treatment. Estimation of CV risk was based on European Society of Cardiology/European Atherosclerosis Society guidelines for the management of dyslipidemias using the Systemic Coronary Risk Estimation chart.

    		 Percentage Change from Baseline in Serum TG, LDL-C and HDL-C Levels at 12 Weeks [1]
    End point description
    The baseline value was defined as the mean of the lipid measured in the blood samples collected at the inclusion visit (Visit 1) and at the randomization visit (Visit 2). The endpoint value was defined as the last non-missing value assigned to treatment for the subject. The mean percentage changes from baseline in TG, LDL-C and HDL-C levels after 12 weeks of treatment are presented for the Full Analysis (FA) subject sample which consisted of all subjects who were allocated to treatment, received at least one dose of investigational study drug and had data for at least one post-baseline assessment of any efficacy measurement (TG, HDL-C or LDL-C) before or at Visit 4.

    End point timeframe
    Baseline (Visits 1 and 2) and after 12 weeks of treatment (Visit 4).
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: Summary descriptive statistics for percentage change from baseline at 12 weeks in the lipid parameters are presented in this endpoint without comparative statistical analyses.

    		 Percentage Least Squares (LS) Mean Change from Baseline in Serum TG Level at 12 Weeks [2]
    End point description
    The baseline value was defined as the mean of the lipid measured in the blood samples collected at the inclusion visit (Visit 1) and at the randomization visit (Visit 2). The endpoint value was defined as the last non-missing value assigned to treatment for the subject. The LS mean percentage change from baseline in TG levels after 12 weeks of treatment are presented for the FA subject sample which consisted of all subjects who were allocated to treatment, received at least one dose of investigational study drug and had data for at least one post-baseline assessment of any efficacy measurement (TG, HDL-C or LDL-C) before or at Visit 4. The LS mean of the percentage change from baseline at 12 weeks was determined using a mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) analysis with treatment group, visit, gender, country and treatment by visit interaction as fixed factors, and the lipid parameter at baseline as covariate.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    Baseline (Visit 2) and after 12 weeks of treatment (Visit 4).
    Notes
    [2] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: The primary analysis tested superiority for the following treatment comparisons for percentage change in TG from baseline at 12 weeks: - FC fenofibrate/simvastatin 145/20 mg vs Simvastatin 20 mg - FC fenofibrate/simvastatin 145/40 mg vs Simvastatin 40 mg - Feno/Simv 145/20 mg + Feno/Simv 145/40 mg vs Simvastatin 20 mg + Simvastatin 40 mg. Therefore the reporting arm Fenofibrate 145 mg was not included in this endpoint.

    		 Percentage of Lipid Level Responders for TG, LDL-C and Non-HDL-C at 12 Weeks [5]
    End point description
    The percentage of subjects who met the target levels of lipids for TG, LDL-C and non-HDL-C after 12 weeks of treatment is presented (defined as lipid level responders). The target lipid levels were as follows: TG: < 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) in very high and high CV risk subjects. LDL-C: < 70 mg/dL or a >= 50% reduction from baseline in very high CV risk subjects and < 100 mg/dL in high CV risk subjects. Non-HDL-C: < 100 mg/dL in very high CV risk subjects and < 130 mg/dL in high CV risk subjects. Percentages are based on the number of subjects with data available in the FA subject sample which consisted of all subjects who were allocated to treatment, received at least one dose of investigational study drug and had data for at least one post-baseline assessment of any efficacy measurement (TG, HDL-C or LDL-C) before or at Visit 4.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    24 May 2012
    - Withdrawal criteria were clarified to include reasons for study treatment discontinuation: Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels after a repeated measurement increase to more than three times the upper limit of normal, diffuse myalgia, myositis, muscle cramps and/or a significant increase in creatine kinase (to more than five times the upper limit of normal) after a repeated measurement indicating myotoxicity. - Amendments were made in relation to justification of the sample size and global study power. The sample size was not changed but the global study power was increased from 90% to 93.2%. The mean difference in percentage change from baseline to 12 weeks treatment the trial was set up to detect HDL-C was updated to 6.5% from 7%.
    16 Jul 2012
    - Clarification that the laboratory results for lipid parameters (TG, LDL-C, HDL-C and non-HDL-C) measured at Visits 3 and 4 during the blinded study period would not be provided to the investigators or trial physician, clinical study manager or trial monitors. The investigator was also instructed not to request laboratory tests for these lipid parameters to be done locally for their patients participating in the study. - The rescreening process between Visits 1 and 2 was clarified. Rescreening was not permitted if the safety laboratory results obtained at Visit 1 did not meet the inclusion/randomization criteria, and the subject was considered a screen failure. Rescreening of a subject after at least one week was allowed if one or both lipid criteria values obtained from Visit 1 did not meet the inclusion/randomization criteria. The condition for retesting was the lipid criteria value was outside +/-5% of the range for inclusion, all lipids measured were repeated. Sponsor authorization for retesting was also no longer required. - Recommendations on the contraceptive methods to be used by women of childbearing potential were added to the protocol.
    11 Dec 2012
    - Following the split of Abbott into two companies effective as of 1 January 2013, the name of the Sponsor changed from Fournier Laboratories Ireland Limited to Abbott Laboratories Ireland Limited.
