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 purpose of the study was to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ETC-1002 versus placebo in high cardiovascular (CV) risk participants with hyperlipidemia [with underlying heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and/or atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD)] who were not adequately controlled with their maximally tolerated lipid-modifying therapy, including maximally tolerated statin therapy.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial was designed, conducted, and monitored in accordance with sponsor procedures, which comply with the ethical principles of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) as required by the major regulatory authorities, and in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.
    Background therapy
    Participants were required to be on stable lipid-modifying therapy (ies), including a maximally tolerated statin for at least 4 weeks prior to screening. Use of fibrates must have been stable at least 6 weeks prior to screening. Stable lipid-modifying therapy(s) included, but was not limited to, monotherapies or combination therapies containing the following compounds: Statins [Atorvastatin (Lipitor®, Sortis®), Fluvastatin (Lescol®), Lovastatin (Mevacor®, Altoprev™), Pravastatin (Pravachol®), Pitavastatin (Livalo®, Lipostat®), Simvastatin (Zocor® or Vytorin® or Inegy® where simvastatin dose was less than 40 mg), Rosuvastatin (Crestor®)]; selective cholesterol and/or bile acid absorption inhibitors [Cholestyramine/Colestyramine (Questran®, Questran Light®, Prevalite®, Locholest®, Locholest® Light), Colestipol (Colestid®), Colesevelam hydrochloride (Welchol®, Cholestagel®), or Ezetimibe (Zetia®, Ezetrol®)]; Fibrates [Fenofibrate (Antara®, Lofibra®, Tricor®, Triglide™, Lipantil®, Supralip®), Bezafibrate (Bezalip®), or Ciprofibrate (Modalim®)]; Approved PCSK9 inhibitors were excluded at entry criteria but allowed as adjunctive therapy beginning at Week 24 if LDL-C threshold criteria was met as described in the protocol. Gemfibrozil, a fibrate, was prohibited. Other concomitant medications were allowed but must have been stable for 2 weeks prior to screening and, if possible, not be adjusted during the study except for reasons of safety. Participants were not allowed to use some medications (monotherapies or combination therapies) within 4 weeks prior to screening or during the study.
    Evidence for comparator
    The randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled add-on to maximally tolerated lipid lowering therapy design was added to ensure that long-term safety data are meaningful and interpretable.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 2230 participants were randomized 2:1 to either bempedoic acid or placebo. One participant was randomized to bempedoic acid treatment, but never received any dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP) i.e. study drug.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The study consisted of 2 periods: a 2-week screening period and a 52-week double-blind, randomized treatment period.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    28 Jan 2016
    Protocol Amendment 1 dated 28 January 2016- Major changes to the protocol with this amendment included: • Addition of secondary and tertiary study objectives to evaluate lipid and cardiometabolic parameters at specific time points throughout the study • Addition of protocol requirements to address the recent marketing of proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9i (PCSK9i) therapies resulting in the addition of exclusion criteria, prohibited medications instructions, and allowable medication instructions to reflect the protocol requirements • Defined clinical endpoints to provide clarity regarding the events that will be adjudicated by the clinical event committee • Revised the reporting requirements for clinical endpoints • Revised inclusion/exclusion criteria by aligning the medical history and concurrent conditions of the study population with those commonly observed in participants with hyperlipidemia and high cardiovascular risk • Revised safety monitoring and management instructions to ensure participant safety for the following: − elevated serum creatinine − hemoglobin − elevated creatine kinase − low-density lipoprotein cholesterol threshold criteria for the addition of adjunctive therapy beginning at Week 24 (Visit T5) − hypoglycemia
    09 Mar 2016
    Protocol Amendment 2 dated 23 February 2016- The major changes to the protocol with this amendment was for program consistency, revision of severity categories for adverse events to the 3 categories of severity.
    09 Sep 2016
    Protocol Amendment 3 dated 28 July 2016- Major changes to the protocol with this amendment included: • Increased sample size from 900 to 1950 randomized participants • Revised the high-dose statin exclusion to allow participants on high-dose statins with the exception of participants on simvastatin taking average daily doses that were greater than 40 mg. This revision was based upon the weak drug interactions observed with bempedoic acid 240 mg when given with low-dose statins. • Increased overall study duration to account for additional recruitment time required to randomize additional participants • Revised inclusion criteria to be consistent with current safety data and to comply with Health Canada requests − Revised to include tubal ligation in the study definition for “surgically sterile.” − Revised to include the birth control requirement as requested by Health Canada. This revision only applied to Canadian sites • Revised exclusion criteria to be consistent with current safety data. Revisions included: − Increased total fasting triglycerides, decreased the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), Allowed participants with positive hepatitis C-antibodies (HCV-AB) results to have a reflex HCV RNA performed so that those participants without active disease may have been considered for enrolment, allowed participants whose total bilirubin levels exceeded ≥1.2 × Upper limit normal to have a reflex indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin test so that those participants with results that were consistent with Gilbert’s disease, shortened the duration from when a participant may have had, for any reason, a blood transfusion, decreased the amount of time participants should be stable on obesity medications, removed the collection of blood samples for pharmacokinetic assessment for those participants who were randomized into the study after the implementation of Protocol Amendment 3.
    06 Dec 2016
    Protocol Amendment 4 dated 14 October 2016- Major changes to the protocol with this amendment included: • Revised exclusion criteria to be consistent with current safety data and to comply with US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) request. Excluded renally impaired participants receiving an average daily dose of simvastatin 40 mg with eGFR <45 milliliter per minute per 1.73 square meter (mL/min/1.73^m2). • To comply with US FDA request, additional visits (2 in the clinic and 2 by telephone) were added for clinical safety laboratory evaluations and adverse event monitoring for participants receiving an average daily dose of simvastatin 40 mg
    03 Jul 2017
    Protocol Amendment 5 dated 10 May 2017- Major changes to the protocol with this amendment included: • Simvastatin at average daily doses of 40 mg or greater was added as a prohibited medication. • Revised the collection of reserve samples to allow Sponsor to discontinue collection after a sufficient number of samples were collected • Revised procedures for Visits T4.1, T4.2, T5.1, and T5.2 to indicate that participants who were discontinued from study drug because they were on simvastatin 40 mg or greater and who provided consent to be followed in the safety follow-up should be scheduled for these visits • Added a procedure to Visit T7 for participants who completed the study while taking study drug to collect information regarding whether: 1) the participant was offered the open-label extension study (Study 1002-050) and 2) if not, the reason that the open-label extension study was not offered to the participant • To further ensure participant safety, the monitoring and management of creatine kinase (CK) was revised to include additional instructions for the investigator in cases where the repeat CK was confirmed to be greater than 5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) and the participant was asymptomatic.
