About this study

Official title: A Randomized Study of the Relative Bioavailability, Pharmacodynamics, Safety of SAR236553 (REGN727) After Single Subcutaneous Administration at 3 Different Injection Sites in Healthy Subjects

Primary Objective:

To assess the relative bioavailability of a single subcutaneous dose of alirocumab SAR236553 (REGN727) administered at 3 different injection sites in healthy subjects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of the serum concentrations of alirocumab SAR236553 (REGN727) after a single subcutaneous administration at 3 different injection sites in healthy subjects as a measure of the pharmacokinetics of this investigational medicinal product.

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Assessment of the serum concentrations of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol after a single subcutaneous administration of alirocumab SAR236553 (REGN727) as a measure of the pharmacodynamic effect of this investigational medicinal product.

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

  2. Assessment of the number of subjects with adverse events after a single subcutaneous administration of alirocumab SAR236553 (REGN727) as a measure of the safety/tolerability of this investigational medicinal product.

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

  3. Assessment of the serum concentration of anti-drug antibodies after a single subcutaneous dose of alirocumab SAR236553 (REGN727) as a measure of the immunogenicity of this investigational medicinal product.

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing alirocumab SAR236553 (REGN727) in people with Hypercholesterolemia, run by Sanofi at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 19 Aug 2013. 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 United Kingdom. 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 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.

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?

Assessment of the serum concentrations of alirocumab SAR236553 (REGN727) after a single subcutaneous administration at 3 different injection sites in healthy subjects as a measure of the pharmacokinetics of this investigational medicinal product. (time frame: Up to 12 weeks). 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 NCT01785329, 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 19 Aug 2013.
