About this study

Official title: A 12-week, Open-label, Dose-escalating, Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Effects of MBX-8025 in Patients With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH)

A 12-week, open-label, dose-escalating, phase 2 study to evaluate the effects of MBX-8025 in patients with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).

Read the detailed description

Open-label, single arm, non-controlled, dose ascending (50 mg/day, 100 mg/day and 200 mg/day) with three consecutive dose escalation periods.

After signing an informed consent subject will enter a screening period and a run-in stabilization period. At the end of run-in period patients will enter treatment phase. MBX-8025 in ascending doses (50 mg, 100 mg, and 200 mg) will be given within three consecutive 4 weeks periods, for a total of 12 weeks. At the end of treatment, subjects will enter a follow-up period.

Being tested
Run-In Period: Placebo, MBX-8025 50 mg (Dose Escalation Period 1), MBX-8025 50 mg or 100 mg (Dose Escalation Period 2), MBX-8025 50 mg, 100 mg or 200 mg (Dose Escalation Period 3)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MBX-8025 50 mg (Dose Escalation Period 1), MBX-8025 50 mg or 100 mg (Dose Escalation Period 2) and MBX-8025 50 mg, 100 mg or 200 mg (Dose Escalation Period 3) in people with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia, run by Gilead Sciences at 5 sites in 4 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 7 inclusion and 10 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 9 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Canada, France, Netherlands, Norway. 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?

LDL-C (time frame: 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 9 Mar 2016.
