About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, 12 Week, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group, Phase IIa Study Using 18F Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET to Measure the Effects of Rilapladib on Macrophage Activity in Subjects With Atherosclerosis

A study in patients with atherosclerosis to assess safety, effect and PK of rilapladib vs. placebo over 12 weeks of dosing.

Read the detailed description

Study LP2105521 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to examine the safety, tolerability, and effects of rilapladib on plasma Lp-PLA2 activity, plaque inflammation, and PAF (if feasible). Subjects will receive placebo or rilapladib once daily for 12 weeks. The study will be conducted in subjects with established atherosclerosis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety from AE reporting, vital signs, clinical labs, ECGs, slit lamp eye exams and electron microscopy of peripheral blood lymphocytes.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. LP-PLA2 activity;

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. changes in mean standard values of 18 FDG uptake as assessed by PET and MRI imaging

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Estimation of PK parameters (such as: apparent volume of distribution, apparent clearance, etc.) of rilapladib and their associated variability, appropriate to the final model

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Estimation of PK/PD parameters (such as: IC50, Eo) and their associated variability, appropriate to the final model

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. PAF levels in human plasma as feasible

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing rilapladib and 18F Fluorodeoxylucose (FDG)-PET in people with Atherosclerosis, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 10 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 8 inclusion and 27 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 1 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Safety from AE reporting, vital signs, clinical labs, ECGs, slit lamp eye exams and electron microscopy of peripheral blood lymphocytes. (time frame: 12 weeks). 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?
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 1 Dec 2016.
