About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study of the Safety, Tolerability and Effect on Endothelial Function, as Measured by Flow Mediated Dilatation, of RO4607381 in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) or CHD Risk Equivalents.

This study will assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of RO4607381 in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) or CHD risk equivalents. Patients will be randomized to receive either RO4607381 600mg po daily or placebo po daily. Endothelial function will be measured by flow mediated dilatation and blood pressure monitoring will be assessed. The anticipated time on study treatment is up to 12 months, and the target sample size is up to 500 individuals.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing dalcetrapib in people with Coronary Heart Disease, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 23 sites in 7 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 5 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 2 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites in Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France and 2 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 2 Jan 2020). 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?

Change From Baseline in % Flow Mediated Dilatation (FMD) (time frame: Baseline and 12 weeks). 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 NCT00655538, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 2 Jan 2020.
