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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of evolocumab subcutaneous monotherapy every 2 weeks and monthly, compared with placebo and ezetimibe, on percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in subjects with a 10-year Framingham risk score of 10% or less.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) regulations and guidelines, and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, and guidelines set forth in 21 CFR Parts 11, 50, 54, 56, and 312. All subjects provided written informed consent before undergoing any study-related procedures, including screening procedures. The study protocol, amendments, and the informed consent form (ICF) were reviewed by the Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and Independent Ethics Committees (IECs). No subjects were recruited into the study and no investigational product (IP) was shipped until the IRB/IEC gave written approval of the protocol and ICF and Amgen received copies of these approvals.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 Men and women ≥ 18 to ≤ 80 years of age with fasting low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ≥ 100 mg/dL and < 190 mg/dL and fasting triglycerides ≤ 400 mg/dL with a 10-year Framingham Risk Score of 10% or less were eligible for this study. The first participant was enrolled on 21 January 2013 and the last participant was enrolled 29 July 2013.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 Participants received subcutaneous placebo corresponding to the once monthly dose volume during a 6 week screening period. Participants who completed the screening period and met final eligibility criteria were randomized 1:1:1:1:2:2 into 6 treatment groups. Randomization was stratified by LDL-C concentration (< 130 mg/dL or ≥ 30 mg/dL).
