About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Pilot Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of CAT-2003 in Patients With Severe Hypertriglyceridemia

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of multiple doses of CAT-2003 in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia either naive or refractory to current therapy. The study will evaluate effects of CAT-2003 on fasting and postprandial total triglycerides and chylomicron triglyceride levels in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia.

This is a single-blind study. All patients will receive placebo for a 14 day treatment period and CAT-2003 for a 28 day treatment period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent change from baseline in fasting triglycerides in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Frequency of adverse events

    Safety will be assessed for all enrolled patients from the time the patient signs the informed consent through post-treatment follow-up.

    Safety parameters include physical exam, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, ECGs and concomitant medications.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Absolute and percent change from baseline on postprandial total and chylomicron triglyceride levels

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CAT-2003 in people with Hyperlipidemias and Hypertriglyceridemia, run by Catabasis Pharmaceuticals at 4 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?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 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 14 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 from baseline in fasting triglycerides in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia (time frame: 4 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 14 Aug 2015.
