Subjects were men and women who had successfully completed the previous open-label extension study (LOV111860/OM5X) and had met all inclusion and exclusion criteria for the original double-blind study (LOV111859/OM5) and throughout LOV111860/OM5X, or who had a renewed waiver of a previously approved protocol deviation.

Eligibility for entry into this study was based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria described of the double-blind LOV111859/OM5 protocol.

About this study

This was a 24-month, open-label extension study that followed an 8-week double-blind study (Study LOV111859/OM5) and an 8-week, open-label extension study (LOV111860/OM5X). Study LOV111859/OM5 was conducted to evaluate whether combination therapy with Lovaza (omega-3-acid ethyl esters) and Antara (fenofibrate) would result in a greater reduction in serum triglyceride levels in hypertriglyceridemic subjects than treatment with fenofibrate alone. This second extension of 24 months was to assess the continued efficacy of adjunctive Lovaza (omega-3-acid ethyl esters) [formerly known as Omacor] therapy in hypertriglyceridemic subjects treated with Antara (fenofibrate) in lowering serum triglyceride (TG) levels.

Read the detailed description

Three studies comprise this program. Study LOV111859/OM5 (double-blind study) was followed by two open label extensions - LOV111860/OM5X (1st open label extension - 8 weeks) and LOV111821/OM5XX (2nd open label extension - 24 months).

Studies LOV111859/OM5 and LOV111860/OM5X are outlined in NCT00246636.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Antara (fenofibrate) + Lovaza (omega-3-acid ethyl esters) in people with Hypertriglyceridemia, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 32 sites 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?

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 25 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 32 sites 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 28 Jul 2009). 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 in Serum Triglycerides From LOV111859/OM5 (Double-blind [DB] Study) Baseline to Week 8 of LOV111860/OM5X (1st Open-label [OL] Extension Study) and From LOV111859/OM5 (DB) Baseline to Month 24 of LOV111821/OM5XX (2nd OL Extension). (time frame: Baseline to LOV111860/OM5X Week 8 and LOV111859/OM5 Baseline to LOV111821/OM5XX Month 24). 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 NCT00891293, 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 25 Jan 2011.
