About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of ISIS 301012 as Add-on Therapy in Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia Subjects With Coronary Artery Disease
The purpose of this study is to determine whether mipomersen safely and effectively lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and coronary artery disease (CAD) who are already on a stable dose of other lipid-lowering agents (including maximally tolerated statin therapy).
Read the detailed description
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder of lipoprotein metabolism characterized by markedly elevated LDL-C, premature onset of atherosclerosis and development of xanthomata. Patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia typically have total plasma cholesterol between 350 to 550 mg/dL and disease onset in their third and fourth decade.
Mipomersen (ISIS 301012) is an antisense drug that reduces a protein in the liver cells called apolipoprotein B (apo-B). Apo-B plays a role in producing low density lipoprotein cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol) and moving it from the liver to one's bloodstream. High LDL-C is an independent risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease (CHD) or other diseases of blood vessels. It has been shown that lowering LDL-C reduces the risk of heart attacks and other major adverse cardiovascular events.
This study consisted of a 26-week treatment period and a 24-week post-treatment follow-up period (with the exception of patients who enrolled in the open-label extension study [Study 301012-CS6; NCT00694109]). The treatment period spanned the time during which the study treatment was administered until the later of the primary efficacy time point (PET) or 14 days beyond the last day of study drug administration. The post-treatment follow-up period began the day after completion of the treatment period and ended on the day of the patient's last contact date within the study.
Following treatment and Week 28 evaluations, eligible patients who tolerated study drug could elect to enroll in an open-label extension study (301012-CS6). Patients who were not eligible for or who elected not to enroll in the open-label extension study and patients who discontinued during the 26-week treatment period were followed in this study for an additional 24 weeks from administration of the last dose of study drug.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percent Change From Baseline in Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) at the Primary Efficacy Time Point
LDL cholesterol was measured in mg/dL. Samples were taken following an overnight fast. For patients with triglycerides <400 mg/dL, LDL-C was obtained using Friedewald's calculation; and for patients with triglycerides ≥400 mg/dL, LDL-C was directly measured by the central laboratory using ultracentrifugation. The primary efficacy time point was the post-baseline visit closest to 14 days after the last dose of study treatment.
Measured: Baseline (the average of the screening and Day 1 pre-treatment assessments) and the Primary Efficacy Time point (PET; Week 28 or the post-baseline visit closest to 14 days after the last dose).
LDL Cholesterol at Baseline and at the Primary Efficacy Time Point
The primary efficacy time point (PET) was the post-baseline visit closest to 14 days after the last dose of study treatment.
Measured: Baseline (the average of the screening and Day 1 pre-treatment assessments) and the Primary Efficacy Time point (PET; Week 28 or the post-baseline visit closest to 14 days after the last dose).
Secondary outcomes (6)

Measured: Baseline (the average of the screening and Day 1 pre-treatment assessments) and the Primary Efficacy Time point (PET; Week 28 or the post-baseline visit closest to 14 days after the last dose).
Apolipoprotein B at Baseline and at the Primary Efficacy Time Point
The primary efficacy time point (PET) was the post-baseline visit closest to 14 days after the last dose of study treatment.
Measured: Baseline (the average of the screening and Day 1 pre-treatment assessments) and the Primary Efficacy Time point (PET; Week 28 or the post-baseline visit closest to 14 days after the last dose).
Percent Change From Baseline in Total Cholesterol at the Primary Efficacy Time Point
Total cholesterol was measured in mg/dL. Samples were taken following an overnight fast. The primary efficacy time point was the post-baseline visit closest to 14 days after the last dose of study treatment.
Measured: Baseline (the average of the screening and Day 1 pre-treatment assessments) and the Primary Efficacy Time point (PET; Week 28 or the post-baseline visit closest to 14 days after the last dose).
Total Cholesterol at Baseline and at the Primary Efficacy Time Point
The primary efficacy time point (PET) was the post-baseline visit closest to 14 days after the last dose of study treatment.

Percent Change From Baseline in Non-High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol at the Primary Efficacy Time Point
Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was measured in mg/dL. Samples were taken following an overnight fast. The primary efficacy time point was the post-baseline visit closest to 14 days after the last dose of study treatment.
Measured: Baseline (the average of the screening and Day 1 pre-treatment assessments) and the Primary Efficacy Time point (PET; Week 28 or the post-baseline visit closest to 14 days after the last dose).
Non-High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol at Baseline and at the Primary Efficacy Time Point

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing mipomersen sodium in people with Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Kastle Therapeutics, LLC at 48 sites in 2 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 6 inclusion and 2 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 9 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 48 sites in United States, Canada. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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 21 Mar 2013). 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?
Percent Change From Baseline in Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) at the Primary Efficacy Time Point (time frame: Baseline (the average of the screening and Day 1 pre-treatment assessments) and the Primary Efficacy Time point (PET; Week 28 or the post-baseline visit closest to 14 days after the last dose).). 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 NCT00706849, which also lists 3 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 9 Sep 2016.
