About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study to Assess the Effects of Mipomersen on Lipid and Lipoprotein Metabolism in Healthy Subjects

The primary objective of this Phase I exploratory study is to determine the effects of mipomersen on the hepatic production of apolipoprotein-B (apo B) in very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) compared to baseline levels. The study will consist of a Screening Period, a 1-week Run-in Period to establish a stable diet, an approximate 11-week Treatment Period with Placebo or Mipomersen, and a 25-week Post-Treatment Follow-up Period. The total duration of any given subject's participation will be approximately 40 weeks.

Being tested
mipomersen, Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent change in the production rate (PR) of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) apolipoprotein B (apo B)

    Measured: through approximately 11 weeks of treatment

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Fractional clearance rate (FCR) of VLDL Triglyceride (TG), VLDL apo B, intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL) apo B, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apo B

    Measured: Through approximately 11 weeks of treatment

  2. Production rate (PR) of VLDL-TG, IDL apo B, LDL apo B

    Measured: Through approximately 11 weeks of treatment

  3. Conversion of VLDL apo B to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apo B

    Measured: Through approximately 11 weeks of treatment

  4. Direct removal of VLDL apo B from plasma

    Measured: Through approximately 11 weeks of treatment

  5. Post-heparin hepatic lipase and lipoprotein lipase activities in serum

    Measured: Through approximately 11 weeks of treatment

  6. Fasting plasma levels of fatty acids and beta-hydroxybutyrate

    Measured: Up to 40 weeks

  7. Incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)

    Measured: Up to 40 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing mipomersen in people with Healthy Volunteer, run by Kastle Therapeutics, LLC 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 3 inclusion and 7 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 3 Aug 2016. 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Percent change in the production rate (PR) of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) apolipoprotein B (apo B) (time frame: through approximately 11 weeks of treatment). 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 3 Aug 2016.
