About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Prospective, Longitudinal, Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase III Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Daily Administration of Pravastatin 40 mg or Fenofibrate 160 mg or Pravafen (the Combination of Pravastatin and Fenofibrate 40/160 mg) for 12 Weeks Followed by a 52-Week Open-Label Safety Phase of the Pravafen Alone in the Treatment of Combined Hyperlipidemia.

This is a multi-center, double blind, prospective, longitudinal, randomized, 12-week study with a 52-week open-label follow-up to evaluate the safety and efficacy of daily administration of Pravastatin 40 mg or Fenofibrate 160 mg or Pravafen (the combination of both Pravastatin and Fenofibrate 40/160 mg) in the treatment of combined hyperlipidemia. There will be an open-label, 8-week, Selection Phase prior to randomization in which all patients will be stabilized on Pravastatin 40 mg/day. Following the Selection Phase, and if the patients meet all inclusion/exclusion criteria, they will be randomized to a three arm, double blind, 12-week Efficacy Phase during which they would receive either Pravastatin 40 mg or Fenofibrate 160 mg or Pravafen (the combination of Pravastatin and Fenofibrate 40/160 mg). The 12-week Efficacy Phase will be followed by an open-label, 52-week, Safety Phase in which all patients will receive Pravafen.

After the 8-week Selection Phase, patients that still meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomized on a 1:1:2 ratio to Pravastatin 40 mg or Fenofibrate 160 mg or Pravafen (the combination of both Pravastatin and Fenofibrate 40/160 mg) for 12 weeks. After the completion of the 12-week double-blind phase of the study, all patients that haven't had changes in their well being, will be allowed to roll-over into the 52-week, open-label, follow-up portion of the study. During the 52 week, open label, Safety Phase of the study, all patients will receive Pravafen (the combination of Pravastatin and Fenofibrate 40/160 mg).

Patients will be evaluated at baseline and every three weeks thereafter throughout the initial 12-week Efficacy Phase of the study. Patients that roll-over into the 52-week, open-label, follow-up Safety Phase will be evaluated at 12, 24, 36 and 52 weeks.

Participation in the study can be up to 72 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary endpoints will assess differences in change from baseline in non-HDL-C, for the patients receiving Pravafen versus the patients receiving Pravastatin or Fenofibrate at the end of the 12-week portion of the study.

    Change in HDL

    Measured: bBaseline to 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Secondary endpoints will assess differences in change from baseline in TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C and TC/HDL-C for the pts receiving the combo therapy vs the pts receiving Pravastatin or Fenofibrate

    Changes in TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C and TC/HDL-C

    Measured: Baseline to 12 weeks

  2. Differences in change from baseline in ALT, AST and CK as well as overall safety for the pts receiving the combo therapy vs the pts receiving Pravastatin or Fenofibrate at the end of the 12-week of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Pravafen, Pravastatin and Fenofibrate in people with Combined Hyperlipidemia, run by Shionogi at 57 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 12 inclusion and 38 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 24 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 57 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 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.

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?

Primary endpoints will assess differences in change from baseline in non-HDL-C, for the patients receiving Pravafen versus the patients receiving Pravastatin or Fenofibrate at the end of the 12-week portion of the study. (time frame: bBaseline 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 24 Apr 2018.
