  2. Overall Correct Final Use Outcome With Mitigation, Second Co-primary Endpoint (Per Protocol Population)

    Proportion of participants that had a correct tass outcome at their final TASS assessment

    Measured: From enrollment to end of the home use period at 180 days, at final TASS Assessment

  3. Percent Change From Baseline in Verified LDL-C Regardless of Final Use Outcome (AUS ITT Population)

    Measured: From enrollment to end of the home use period at 180 days, at final assessment

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Participants Eligble for Continuous Treatment Who Self-Tested With a Verified LDL-C Retest During Study, Overall and by Subgroups (Per Protocol Population)

    Measured: From enrollment to end of the home use period at 180 days

  2. Participants Who Self-Identify a Stop Use Warning Also Identified by the CMOG, and Stop Medication (Per Protocol Population)

    Participants who Self-Identify a Stop Use Warning also identified by the CMOG, and Stop Medication.

    Measured: From enrollment to end of the home use period at 180 days

  3. Participants Who Self-Identify a Do Not Use Warning Also Identified by the CMOG at Final Use Assessment(Per Protocol Population, Participants Who Had a do Not Use Warning Identified by the CMOG at Final Use Visit)

    Measured: From enrollment to end of the home use period at 180 days

  4. Participants Who Self-Identify an Ask a Doctor Before Use Warning Also Identified by the CMOG at Final Use Assessment (Per Protocol Population, Participants Who Had a do Not Use Warning Identified by the CMOG at Final Use Visit)

    Measured: From enrollment to end of the home use period at 180 days

  5. Participants With Overall Compliance Between 50% and 120%

    Overall compliance is defined as 100 * (total number of pills taken) / (Intended duration of treatment in days)

    Measured: From enrollment to end of the home use period at 180 days

  6. Participants Who Were Longitudinally Compliant (Per Protocol Population)

    An individual is longitudinally compliant if they have 50% to 120% compliance across each supply period.

    Measured: From enrollment to end of the home use period at 180 days

  7. Participants Who Were Persistent (Per Protocol Population)

    An individual is persistent if they ordered the full 180 days of treatment and were eligible for continuous treatment

    Measured: From enrollment to end of the home use period at 180 days

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Correct Initial TASS Outcome, Worst Case Imputation, First Co-Primary Endpoint (Self-Selection Population) (time frame: Study day -30 to -1, at initial TASS assessment). The study lists 3 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 NCT04964544, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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.
