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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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 main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect on mental state (known as "neurocognitive function") with use of Praluent.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This clinical study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki, and that are consistent with the ICH guidelines for GCP and applicable regulatory requirements.
    Background therapy
    Background treatment with lipid modifying therapies (LMT) was allowed for all subjects (those who are using concomitant statins and for those who are not). The background LMT dose remained stable throughout the entire study, from screening to the end of study visit.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 2176 subjects were randomized across 169 sites in Bulgaria, Chile, Estonia, Japan, Mexico, Russian Federation, South Africa, Ukraine, and the United States.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Subjects who met the eligibility criteria were randomized in 1:1 ratio into 2 treatment groups: placebo and alirocumab. Randomization was stratified by age (less than [<] 65 or greater than or equal to [>=] 65) and by statin use (no statin, low lipophilicity of the concomitant statin, or high lipophilicity of the concomitant statin).

    CANTAB Cognitive Domain Spatial Working Memory (SWM) Strategy Raw Score
    Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) SWM task assessed cognitive domain of executive function. Colored boxes were shown on a screen. A token was hidden in a box. Subjects touched boxes to search for token until #of tokens found = #of boxes. SWM strategy index is #of times search began w/ a different box. Baseline score = last score before 1st dose. Raw score ranges from 4 to 28; high score = inefficient strategy. Primary safety population (subjects w/ SWM score at baseline and at least 1 score during treatment period (Placebo=1035; Alirocumab=1051))

    Change From Baseline in Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) Cognitive Domain Spatial Working Memory (SWM) Strategy Z-Score at Week 96
    End point description
    CANTAB SWM task assessed cognitive domain of executive function. Colored boxes were shown on a computer screen. One at a time, a token was hidden in a box (never same box twice). Instructions were to touch boxes to search for token. Search continued until # of tokens found was = to # of boxes. SWM strategy index represents # of times a subject began a search with a different box. Z-score represents standardized measure of how far an individual deviated from study cohort average at baseline. A higher Z-score reflects better performance. Primary safety population (subjects from safety population who had an SWM strategy score at baseline & at least 1 score measured during treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) period (first double-blind treatment dose to last dose of double-blind treatment + 70 days). Subjects analyzed according to treatment actually received.

Instructions were to touch boxes to search for token until number of tokens found equaled number of boxes. SWM strategy index represents number of times a search began with a different box. Lower change from baseline raw scores reflect better SWM performance (i.e. less impairment). Primary safety population included subjects from the safety population who had an assessment of the SWM strategy score at baseline, and at least 1 score measured during the treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) period. The TEAE period is defined as the first double-blind treatment dose to last dose of double-blind treatment + 70 days (10 weeks). Subjects were analyzed according to the treatment actually received.

    Percent Change From Baseline in Lipoprotein a [Lp(a)] at Week 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96
    End point description
    Percent change from baseline in Lp(a) at Week 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 was reported. Lp(a) was measured using conventional units mg/dL. ITT Population was used. The two-step multiple imputation procedure is used to address missing values in the randomized population. In the first step, the monotone missing pattern is induced in the multiply-imputed data. In the second step, the missing data at subsequent visits are imputed using the regression method for continuous variables.

    Number of Subjects With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs
    End point description
    An Adverse Event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered a study drug which may or may not have a causal relationship with the study drug. TEAE was defined as AEs that developed or worsened/became serious during on-treatment period (time from the first double-blind study treatment injection up to 70 days after the last double-blind study treatment injection). A serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening, required initial or prolonged in-subject hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, or considered as medically important event. Any TEAE included subjects with both serious and non-serious AEs.

    Amendment
    13 Apr 2016
    The purpose of this amendment was to incorporate changes made based on feedback received from the FDA and to address inconsistencies in the original version.
    08 Aug 2016
