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 a regimen including an Alirocumab starting dose of 150 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W) as add-on to non-statin lipid modifying background therapy or as monotherapy in comparison with placebo in subjects with primary hypercholesterolemia not treated with a statin.
    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 were to maintain a stable diet throughout the entire study duration, including the screening period. Subjects receiving background non-statin lipid modifying therapy (LMT) (ezetimibe or fenofibrate) had to continue their treatment without change (including dose) from screening through the end of 24-week double-blind (DB) treatment period barring exceptional circumstances.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study was conducted at 43 centers in 8 countries. A total of 402 subjects were screened between December-2013 and May-2014, of whom 233 were randomized for double-blind (DB) treatment period and 169 were screen failures. Out of 233 randomized for DB period, 205 subjects entered the optional open-label (OL) extension period.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Randomization was stratified by statin intolerant status and background therapy (non-statin lipid therapy vs diet). Randomization followed a 1:2:1 ratio for placebo, Alirocumab 75 mg and Alirocumab 150 mg instead of 1:1:2 as initially planned due to systematic error in treatment allocation algorithm discovered after all subjects were randomized.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: The open-label extension period was optional for subjects who completed the double-blind treatment period.

    Adjusted LS means and standard errors at Week 24 from MMRM model including available post-baseline on-treatment data from Week 4 to Week 24 (i.e. up to 21 days after last injection) (on-treatment analysis). Modified ITT (mITT) population that included all randomized and treated subjects with one baseline and at least one post-baseline calculated LDL-C value on-treatment.

    Statistical analysis description
    A hierarchical testing procedure was used to control type I error and handle multiple secondary endpoint analyses. Testing was then performed sequentially in the order the endpoints are reported. The hierarchical testing sequence continued only when previous endpoint was statistically significant at 0.05 level.

    Date
    Amendment
    18 Oct 2013
    -Changes were made to the exclusion criterion for consistency with the 2004 adult treatment panel (ATP) III guidelines. -Timing of the primary endpoint was changed (at Week 24, to be consistent with the rest of the phase 3 program). –Changes were made to the analysis of the primary and secondary endpoints (use of an ITT approach). -Added collection of measured LDL-C at Week 0 and Week 24.
    25 Aug 2014
    -Adjusted the list of key and other secondary efficacy endpoints and estimands (ITT estimand and on-treatment estimand). -Added time points (Week 9, Week 10 and Week 11) in the model for the primary efficacy analysis endpoint. -Specified sensitivity analyses to be performed on the primary efficacy endpoint.
    08 Jul 2015
    - Extended the duration of the open-label treatment period to Q2 2017 or until alirocumab was commercially available in the country. - Added a follow-up phone call for safety assessments 10 weeks after last IMP administration.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The systematic randomization error was not anticipated to have an impact on the power of the study. The sample size to detect a difference in efficacy endpoints was reached (it was increased to obtain additional safety data) and blind was maintained.
