What is being measured

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

  1. Fasting and postprandial plasma triglycerides

    Measured: baseline and 3 weeks after initiation of each dose level (a test meal will be served at baseline and on Day 21 of treatment)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Blood concentration to characterize LCQ908 kinetics

    Measured: serial blood samples will be collected from all patients enrolled in the study on Day 21 of treatment with each dose

  2. Different blood lipid biomarkers (such as phospholipids, apolipoproteins, and free fatty acids)

    Measured: after 3 weeks of treatment with each dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing LCQ908 in people with Hyperlipoproteinemia, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 17 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Fasting and postprandial plasma triglycerides (time frame: baseline and 3 weeks after initiation of each dose level (a test meal will be served at baseline and on Day 21 of treatment)). 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 NCT01146522, 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 17 Dec 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
