Secondary outcomes (10)
Percentage of Injections That Met the Definition for Successful Assessment Using the Participant Assessment Tool (PAT) for Bococizumab 75 mg Dose Group and Combined Bococizumab 150 mg and 75 mg Dose Group at Week 0 (Day 1), 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; Initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of study drug up to the follow up visit (up to 18 weeks), that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs included both SAEs and non-SAEs.
Measured: Baseline up to 18 weeks
Percentage of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADA) and Neutralizing Antibodies (nAb)
Percentage of participants with at least 1 positive ADA titer or 1 positive nAb titer were reported. Participants with their ADA titer levels >=6.23 were considered as ADA positive and participants with their nAb titer level >=1.58 were considered as nAb positive.
Measured: Baseline up to 18 weeks
Plasma Concentration of Bococizumab at Week 12
Measured: Week 12
Plasma Concentration of Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin Kexin Type 9 (PCSK9) at Week 12

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Bococizumab 150mg and Bococizumab 75mg in people with Hyperlipidemia, run by Pfizer at 30 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 30 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 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Dec 2017). 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?
Percent Change From Baseline at Week 12 in Fasting Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) Level for Bococizumab 150 mg Dose Group and Matched Placebo (time frame: Baseline, Week 12). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02458287, 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 Dec 2017.
