What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean Circulating High Sensitivity C- Reactive Protein (Hs-CRP) Levels at Week 52.

    hs-CRP is a pentameric protein that is rapidly upregulated in response to inflammation and tissue damage and assessed as circulating biomarkers associated with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk. Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) data was reported. Only data from 3 months onwards was carried forward. hs-CRP has a skewed distribution and values were log transformed before analysis. The statistics was calculated on the log transformed data and back transformed. The adjusted geometric means of hs-CRP levels at Week 52 were reported. The levels were analyzed using analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA), with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) status, pooled country and treatment included as covariates.

    Measured: Week 52

  2. Change From Baseline in the Density of Rotterdam Classification (ROC) Grade III/IV Strain Spots/10 Millimeter (mm) Within the Region of Interest (ROI) on IVUS Grey Scale Based Palpography at the End of Week 52.

    The ROC grade III/IV strain spots per 10 millimetre (mm) within the ROI on intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) grey scale based palpography were assessed and change from Baseline at end of 52 was reported. Change from Baseline was calculated as the density of spots at the end of study minus the density of spots recorded at Baseline. If either value was considered missing then the change from Baseline value was missing for the participant. Between treatment group comparisons of change from Baseline were analyzed using ANCOVA adjusting for ACS status, pooled country, Baseline value, matched segment length and treatment. Adjusted means and associated standard errors for each treatment group were presented. The baseline value for each participant was defined as the last value prior to the first dose of study drug.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 52

Secondary outcomes (17)
  1. Circulating Hs-CRP at the End of Week 26.

    hs-CRP is a pentameric protein that is rapidly upregulated in response to inflammation and tissue damage and assessed as circulating biomarkers associated with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk. LOCF data was reported. Only data from 3 months onwards was carried forward. hs-CRP has a skewed distribution and values were log transformed before analysis. The statistics was calculated on the log transformed data and back transformed. The adjusted geometric means of hs-CRP levels at Week 26 were reported. The levels were analyzed using ANCOVA, with ACS status, pooled country and treatment included as covariates.

    Measured: Week 26

  2. Mean Lipoprotein Phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) Activity at the End of Week 26 and Week 52

    Lp-PLA2 is a calcium-independent phospholipase A2 enzyme associated with low density lipoprotein (LDL) in plasma. Blood samples were collected at baseline and at Week 4, 13, 26, and 52 and Lp-PLA2 activity was determined. Percentage inhibition of Lp-PLA2 activity relative to baseline was calculated as, percent inhibition = ([baseline value - post baseline value] x 100) / baseline value. The baseline value for each participant was defined as the last value prior to the first dose of study drug.

    Measured: Week 26 and Week 52

    Measured: Baseline and Week 52

  6. Change From Baseline in Necrotic Core as a Percent of IVUS-VH Plaque at the End of Week 52.

    Change from baseline was calculated for each IVUS-VH assessment recorded at the end of study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SB-480848 in people with Atherosclerosis, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 26 sites in 11 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 26 sites in Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Poland and 6 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Feb 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean Circulating High Sensitivity C- Reactive Protein (Hs-CRP) Levels at Week 52. (time frame: Week 52). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00268996, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Mar 2018.
