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   43850   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    D.8 Information on Placebo
    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Primary Hypercholesterolemia in secondary prevention after an acute atherosclerotic, ischaemic cardiovascular event for patients with diagnostically confirmed coronary heart disease and / or peripheral occlusive disease and / or arteria cerebral occlusive disease (excerpt).
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Patients with Hypercholesterolemia not reaching their individual LDL-cholesterol target according to current guidelines, despite oral lipid therapy or intolerance to oral therapy.
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Diseases [C] - Cardiovascular Diseases [C14]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The main target of this prospective pilot-study is to investigate the effects of lipid therapy intensification via the recently approved and very potent monoclonal, human anti-PCSK9 antibody Alirocumab on fractional anisotropy, endothelial function, inflammation, lipoprotein particle subfractions, carotid arteries and post-prandial lipemia in clinical routine at the Medical University of Graz.

    Main hypothesis:
    - Fractional anisotropy may be increased in response to Alirocumab.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary hypothesis:
    - Lipid therapy intensification with Alirocumab may improve flow-dependent, endothelium-mediated dilation (Flow-Mediated Dilatation, FMD).
    - Alirocumab may reduce intima media thickness of the common carotid artery.
    - Alirocumab may improve the post-prandial lipemia profile.
    - Alirocumab may induce a change of the lipoprotein subfraction distribution. More precisely, Alirocumab is expected to reduce the number of LDL particles and to increase the number of HDL particles, especially of small ones.
    - Alirocumab may reduce inflammation
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Patient scheduled for treatment with Alirocumab in clinical routine (after approval of cost coverage by insurance company)
    2. No previous treatment with PCSK9 antibodies
    3. Signed informed consent form
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Age of < 18 years
    2. Pregnancy (pregnancy test at screening visit)
    3. Breast-feeding
    4. Impossibility to perform magnetic resonance imaging of the carotid artery (claustrophobia, carotid stent)
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Primary Endpoint:
    • Change of mean carotid vessel wall fractional anisotropy (2-Dimensional Cardiovascular Magnet Resonance) by very potent lipid-therapy intensification with Alirocumab.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    At week 10 (plus / minus 2 weeks)
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary Endpoints:
    • Change of FDD (flow-dependent dilation) in response to Alirocumab
    • Change of intima media thickness in response to Alirocumab.
    • Change of post-prandial lipaemia in response to Alirocumab.
    • Change of the lipoprotein subfractions in response to Alirocumab
    • Changes of inflammatory parameters in response to Alirocumab.
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    At week 10 (plus / minus 2 weeks).
