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
    To demonstrate superiority of three dose levels of oral NNC0385-0434 versus placebo on percent change in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from baseline to week 12 in subjects with established ASCVD or ASCVD risk on maximally tolerated statin dose and other lipid-lowering therapy requiring further LDL-C reduction.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and International Council of Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice, including archiving of essential documents and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 21 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) 312.120.
    Background therapy
    Subjects were to continue their background medication (maximally tolerated dose of statins and other lipid-lowering therapies [except proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibition {PCSK9i} therapy, PCSK9 small interfering ribonucleic acid {siRNA} therapy and oral semaglutide therapy]) throughout the entire trial.

    Change in low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol
    End point description
    Percentage change in LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) (measured in milligrams per deciliter [mg/dL]) at week 12 is presented. Data is reported for the on-treatment period. The on-treatment period is the time period where subjects were considered exposed to trial product. The observation period starts at the date of first dose of trial product and ends at the first date of any of the following: The follow-up visit or the last date on randomised treatment regimen + 58 days or the end-date for the ‘in-trial’ observation period. The in-trial period is defined as the uninterrupted time interval from date of randomisation to date of last contact with trial site. Full analysis set (FAS) included all randomized subjects. Number of subjects analyzed = subjects with available data for this endpoint.

    Change in triglycerides
    End point description
    Percentage change in triglycerides (measured in mg/dL) at week 12 is presented. Data is reported for the on-treatment period. The on-treatment period is the time period where subjects were considered exposed to trial product. The observation period starts at the date of first dose of trial product and ends at the first date of any of the following: The follow-up visit or the last date on randomised treatment regimen + 58 days or the end-date for the ‘in-trial’ observation period. FAS included all randomized subjects. Overall number of subjects analyzed = subjects with available data for this endpoint.
