About this study

Official title: Post-Marketing Observational Study on the Effectiveness and Safety of Niaspan® in the Treatment of Lipid Abnormalities in Latin America

Post-Marketing Observational study of Niaspan® tablet in accordance with each country regulations. This study will be conducted in a prospective, single-arm, multi-center format. As this study is observational in nature, the follow-up of subject's is not prescriptive in nature and is according to the judgment of the physician (investigator in the course of treatment for each patient), within the period of observation of 12 months. This includes an enrollment period of 6 months in which each subject will be observed for approximately 6 months. Examinations, diagnostic measures, findings and observations performed as per usual medical practice during the observation period will be recorded on Case Report Forms (CRFs) by the investigator or site staffs according to the protocol.

Read the detailed description

This is a Post-Marketing Observational study (PMOS) of Niaspan® tablet in accordance with each country regulations. This study will be conducted in a prospective, single-arm, multi-center format. As this study is observational in nature, the follow-up of subject's is not prescriptive in nature and is according to the judgment of the physician (investigator in the course of treatment for each patient), within the period of 12 months. This includes an enrollment period of 6 months and a treatment duration in which each subject will be observed for approximately 6 months. Examinations, diagnostic measures, findings and observations performed as per usual medical practice during the observation period will be recorded on CRFs by the investigator or site staffs according to the protocol.

Prior to enrollment in the study, each subject will be required to give their written informed consent to participate in the study. Written informed consent will include a statement authorizing the use and/or disclosure of their personal and/or health data. The subject will be assured that patient confidentiality will be maintained at all times according to the local regulations, and that data that might identify the patient will not be collected

For patient's consenting to participate in this PMOS study and meeting all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria, at the initial visit or baseline as well at subsequent visits if appropriate , their demographic, medical history, physical examination, vital sign, flushing/adverse event assessments, concomitant medication information, Niaspan dose change/compliance, and lab testing will be documented as per standard medical practice in each country, although not in a protocolized manner.

If Niaspan® treatment is discontinued, subjects will be followed for another 1 month for any adverse event.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effectiveness of Niaspan

    Increasing serum HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein - cholesterol) levels.

    Calculated change in different variables (Difference percent for HDL, LDL, Non-HDL and Triglycerides) was obtained using the expression:

    percent.change=((final.visit.variable-baseline.variable.))/(baseline.variable))*100 Then percent change is calculated at 24 weeks regarding baseline for different variables.

    Measured: 24 weeks regarding baseline visit (visit1)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluate Changes Induced by Niaspan at the Completion of the Study Against Base Line Values

    Evaluation of changes in non-HDL-C (non-high-density lipoproteins-cholesterol) lipids, LDL- C (low-density lipoproteins-cholesterol), total cholesterol and triglycerides (including in subjects with high triglycerides ≥ 200 mg/dL), and the impact on the Framingham score

    Measured: every 4 to 8 weeks for 24 weeks

  2. Frequency of Flushing Events

    evaluate occurrence of such events over time

    Measured: every 4 weeks for 24 weeks

  3. Overall Safety and Tolerability of Niaspan

    Evaluate overall safety of Niaspan through evaluation of adverse events

    Measured: every 4 weeks for 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Abbott at 22 sites in 3 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 9 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 6 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 sites in Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Jun 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Effectiveness of Niaspan (time frame: 24 weeks regarding baseline visit (visit1)). 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 6 Jun 2014.
