About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Pharmacokinetic and Tolerability Study of SAR236553/REGN727 Given as a Single SC Dose in Subjects With Mild and Moderate Hepatic Impairment, and in Matched Subjects With Normal Hepatic Function

Primary Objective:

Study the effect of mild or moderate hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of alirocumab SAR236553 (REGN727).

Secondary Objectives:

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing alirocumab SAR236553 (REGN727) in people with Hypercholesterolemia, run by Sanofi at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 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 28 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France, Moldova. 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 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?

Pharmacokinetics: Assessment of serum concentrations of alirocumab SAR236553 (REGN727) (time frame: Up to 12 weeks). 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 28 Jun 2013.
