Trial summary

Atherogenic dyslipidemia includes patients who have coronary heart disease (CHD) or CHD risk equivalents, whose TG level is not adequately controlled after statin monotherapy. According to the published ESC/EAS consensus, fibrate is suggested to be added to this type of patient who has insufficient improvement. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multi-center Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Statin-fenofibrate Combination Therapy in Dyslipidemic Chinese Patients

Atherogenic dyslipidemia includes patients who have coronary heart disease (CHD) or CHD risk equivalents, whose TG level is not adequately controlled after statin monotherapy. According to the published ESC/EAS consensus, fibrate is suggested to be added to this type of patient who has insufficient improvement. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy on lipid control and the safety of adding fenofibrate in patients on a background of statin treatment.

Read the detailed description

It is an open-label , single group, multi-center study. At around 30 investigate sites, 500 dyslipidemic Chinese patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) or CHD risk equivalent, whose TG ≥1.70 mmol/L (150mg/dl) and <5.65mmol/L (500mg/dl) after at least 2 month statin monotherapy with standard dose will be enrolled. After at least 2 month statin monotherapy with standard dose, patients having high TG will be recruited and given statin-fenofibrate combination therapy for 8 weeks. Several lipid parameters and safety parameters will be compared between baseline, after 4 weeks treatment and after 8 weeks treatment. Primary efficacy endpoint is the percentage of TG decrease before and after 8 weeks treatment. Secondary endpoints on efficacy are the absolute change and the percent of change on TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, apoA1, apoB and apoB/apoA1 of baseline, after 4 weeks treatment and 8 weeks treatment, absolute change and percentage of change of hsCRP from baseline to 8 weeks of treatment. Second endpoints on safety is the incidence of AE/SAE, change on CK, ALT, AST, BUN and Cr before and after treatment and the number of clinical meaningful abnormal change defined as ALT or AST >3ULN, or CK >10ULN, or BUN >1.5ULN or Cr >1.5ULN. Other Arm type is a self comparator

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing fenofibrate in people with Dyslipidemias and Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Abbott at 1 site in China.

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 8 inclusion and 11 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 17 Mar 2015. 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 China. 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 23 Feb 2015). 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?

Percentage of Triglyceride (TG) Change (time frame: Baseline and up to 8 weeks after intervention). 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 17 Mar 2015.
