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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Percent Change From Parent Study Baseline in Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) at Weeks 52 and 78
    End point description
    Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as: ApoB value at Week 52/Week 78 minus Parent Study Baseline value divided by Parent Study Baseline value multiplied by 100. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values at screening and predose Day 1/Week 0 (Visit T1) in the Parent Study.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    09 May 2017
    • Updated the design schematic to represent subjects could receive ETC-1002 or matching placebo in the parent study • Revised inclusion criteria to specify the requirements pertaining to the parent study • Updated exclusion criteria with regards to contraception to be consistent with European Medicines Agency (EMA) requirements • Based upon the recommendation of the Data Monitoring Committee and Esperion’s decision, doses of simvastatin 40 milligrams (mg)/day or greater were added as a prohibited medication. • The instructions around maintaining study blind were expanded. • Procedures were clarified for subjects enrolling into the study after the last visit for the parent study. • The monitoring and management of creatine kinase (CK) values for asymptomatic subjects was modified to be consistent with other protocols across the program. • The Schedule of Events was updated to reflect changes or correct errors. • Typographical errors and formatting were corrected or revised based on these changes or to improve clarity and consistency.
    15 Jan 2018
    • Updated contact details for Sponsor Contact and Medical Monitor • Revised the study design to include an assessment at Week 82, 4 weeks after subjects completed their last dose of bempedoic acid. This assessment was added to have safety and efficacy data off study drug to help interpret any potential findings during the treatment period. • Updated the design schematic to include the 4-week follow-up period from Week 78 to Week 82 • Week 78 was called the End of Treatment (EOT) visit and Week 82 was described as the Off Study Drug Period/End of Study (EOS) visit. • The section on Background of Bempedoic Acid was updated to reflect the current version of the Investigator’s Brochure. • The section on Concomitant Medications was revised to avoid changes in lipid-lowering medications during the 4-week washout period to limit the introduction of medications that may affect endpoints of interest measured at Week 82. • The statistical analysis plan for renal events was updated to remove text that indicated muscle-related events would be analyzed based on Baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). There was no data or clinical justification to justify assessment of muscle-related events by eGFR. • Text throughout the protocol was updated to reflect the addition of the 4-week follow-up period. • Typographical errors and formatting were corrected or revised based on these changes or to improve clarity and consistency.
