About this study

Official title: Phase 2 A, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial Measuring the Effects of MLN1202 on C-Reactive Protein Levels in Patients With Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease

This study is a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2a trial evaluating the potential of MLN1202 to reduce circulating levels of C-reactive protein (CRP)in patients with risk factors for Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Patients with risk factors for ASCVD will be screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria including assessment of C-reactive protein. If the patient's CRP is greater than 3.0 mg/L on repeated measurements at least 2 weeks apart, the patient will be enrolled, stratified by screening CRP levels (≤5.0 mg/L and >5.0 mg/L), and randomized to receive 1 dose of either placebo or MLN1202. Safety will be assessed by vital signs, physical examination, clinical laboratories at baseline, and adverse event (AE) reporting from Day 1 to Day 113 of the trial.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MLN1202Drug

    10 mg/kg dose of MLN1202 administered via IV infusion administered approximately 30 minutes to an hour

  • PlaceboOther

    Placebo consist of 0.9% saline solution administered as a 10 mg/kg dose via IV infusion administered approximately 30 minutes to an hour

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the effect of C-C Chemokine Receptor-2 (CCR2) blockade in reducing Creactive protein (CRP) levels in patients with risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and a baseline elevation of CRP

    Measured: The change from baseline to Day 57 in CRP between patients treated withplacebo compared with MLN1202

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Elevation of Creactive protein (CRP) number of days from baseline until the first 1.0 mg/L decrease in CRP levels and changes from baseline to other study visits.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 1 to Day 113 of the trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MLN1202 in people with Atherosclerosis, run by Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc..

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 7 inclusion and 16 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 15 Jul 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Evaluate the effect of C-C Chemokine Receptor-2 (CCR2) blockade in reducing Creactive protein (CRP) levels in patients with risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and a baseline elevation of CRP (time frame: The change from baseline to Day 57 in CRP between patients treated withplacebo compared with MLN1202). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 15 Jul 2008.
