About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Two-period Crossover Trial to Assess the Effects of 4 g/d Prescription Omega-3 Ethyl Esters on Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Subjects With Primary Hypercholesterolemia

The objectives of this study are to assess the effects of 4 g/d P-OM3, compared with placebo, on LDL-C and other aspects of the fasting lipid profile in subjects with primary hypercholesterolemia.

Read the detailed description

This trial will utilize a randomized, double-blind, two-period crossover design. At Visit 2 (Week 0), subjects meeting all entry criteria will be randomized to one of two treatment sequences: placebo or P-OM3 for the first 6 week phase followed by the study product they did not receive during the first phase (P-OM3 or placebo) for the second 6 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent Change From Baseline in LDL-C During Each Treatment

    The primary outcome variable will be the percent change from baseline in LDL-C during each treatment.

    Baseline will be considered the average of values obtained at weeks -1 and 0. On-treatment values will be the average of values collected at weeks 5 and 6 for phase 1, and the average of values collected at weeks 11 and 12 for phase 2.

    Measured: Baseline (average of weeks -1 and 0) and after 5 or 6 weeks of intervention (average of weeks 5 and 6 for the first treatment phase; average of weeks 11 and 12 for the second treatment phase).

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percent Changes in Other Lipid and Biomarker Levels

    Percent changes from baseline in the levels of TC, HDL-C, non-HDL-C, VLDL-C, TG, TC/ HDL-C ratio and Apo AI and B.

    Baseline and on-treatment values for TC, HDL-C, non-HDL-C, VLDL-C, TG, TC/ HDL-C ratio will be calculated as described for LDL-C.

    Baseline values for Apo AI and B will include the average of values obtained at weeks -1 and 0. On-treatment values for Apo AI and B will be the average of values collected at weeks 6 and 12.

    Measured: Baseline (average of weeks -1 and 0) and after 5 or 6 weeks of intervention (average of weeks 5 and 6 for the first treatment phase; average of weeks 11 and 12 for the second treatment phase).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing P-OM3 in people with Primary Hypercholesterolemia, run by Provident Clinical Research at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 9 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 31 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 8 May 2024). 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 LDL-C During Each Treatment (time frame: Baseline (average of weeks -1 and 0) and after 5 or 6 weeks of intervention (average of weeks 5 and 6 for the first treatment phase; average of weeks 11 and 12 for the second treatment phase).). 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 NCT00746811, 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?
