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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 superiority of alirocumab in comparison with usual care in the reduction of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) after 24 weeks of treatment in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and mixed dyslipidemia at high cardiovascular risk with non-HDL-C not adequately controlled with maximally tolerated statin therapy.
    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 received stable antihyperglycemic drugs (including insulin), stable dose of statin without other lipid modifying therapy (LMT) as clinically indicated (except ezetimibe, fenofibrate, omega-3 fatty acids or nicotinic acid allowed for usual care arm) throughout the duration of study.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study was conducted at 119 centers in 15 countries. A total of 864 subjects were screened between March 2016 and September 2016, 451 of whom were screen failures. Screen failures were mainly due to inclusion criteria not met.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Randomization was stratified by investigator’s choice of usual care therapy, which was pre-specified prior to randomization. Assignment to treatment arms was done centrally using an Interactive Voice/Web Response System in a 2:1 ratio (alirocumab: usual care) after confirmation of selection criteria. 413 subjects were randomized.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: The milestone represents only those randomised subjects who were included in ITT: Intent to Prescribe Fenofibrate statum. Fenofibrate was only ‘intended to prescribe’ in the Alirocumab arm but not actually administered.

    All Adverse Events (AE) were collected from signature of the informed consent form up to the final visit (Week 32) regardless of seriousness or relationship to investigational product.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Reported AEs and deaths are TEAEs that are AEs that developed/worsened and death that occurred during the ‘treatment-emergent period’ (the time from the first dose of study drug up to the last dose of study drug +70 days).
