About this study

Official title: Long Term Post Marketing Specified Drug Use Result Survey for Evolocumab (AMG 145) in Japan

The purpose of this post-marketing survey is to obtain real-world information on the safety and effectiveness of evolocumab in Japan.

Read the detailed description

The objectives of study are to 1) determine the incidence of adverse events and adverse drug reactions among patients receiving evolocumab for up to 2 years, and 2) identify and describe patient characteristics (e.g. demographics, medical history) associated with the safety and effectiveness of evolocumab therapy for the patients with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (Heterozygous or Homozygous) and Hypercholesterolemia in Japan

Conditions: Hypercholesterolemia, Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Being tested: No intervention
Medical subject headings: Hypercholesterolemia, Hyperlipoproteinemia Type II

What participants receive

No intervention; observation of routine medical care

Study groups in NCT02808403
Study group	Role	What they receive
Evolocumab exposed		Patients for whom evolocumab is prescribed. Dosage, period (start/end date), frequency of injection (Every 2 weeks (Q2W), Every 4 weeks (Q4W)), drug withdrawal (Yes or No, date, reason) and injection site (upper arm, abdomen, thigh) of evolocumab will be collected. Receives: Other: No intervention

What is being measured

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

Incidence of adverse events and adverse drug reactions
The incidence of adverse events and drug reactions will be described using the same units (events per 1000 person-years). Adverse events (including seriousness and causal relations to drug or device), inclusive of reaction at local injection sites, and other safety information (e.g. overdose, lack of effectiveness, pregnancy and lactation with or without adverse event) will be described.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypercholesterolemia and Familial Hypercholesterolemia, run by Amgen at 138 sites in Japan.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 21 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 138 sites in Japan. 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.

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?

Incidence of adverse events and adverse drug reactions (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02808403, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Nov 2024.
