What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Drug-related AEs, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Deaths

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence (that is, any unfavorable and unintended sign, including abnormal laboratory findings, symptom or disease) in a participant after providing written informed consent for participation in the study until the end of study visit. Therefore, an AE may or may not be temporally or causally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product. An SAE is defined as any AE which is is fatal or life-threatening, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, constitutes a congenital anomaly/birth defect in offspring, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization and is is medically significant.

    Measured: Up to 32 Weeks

  2. Change From Baseline in Maximum Walking Distance (MWD) as Assessed by 6-minute Walk Test (6MWT) at Week 16

    MWD was assessed by the 6MWT prior to dosing was used to evaluate functional capacity of peripheral artery disease (PAD) participants. 6MWT test included measurement of total distance walked in 6 minutes.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16 (Day 113)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUCinf)

    AUCinf is defined as the area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity.

    Measured: 1 hour predose and 1, 2 and 4 hours postdose on Day 1; 0 hour predose and 1, 2 and 4 hours postdose on Day 85

  2. Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast)

    AUClast is defined as the area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration.

    Measured: 1 hour predose and 1, 2 and 4 hours postdose on Day 1; 0 hour predose on Day 29 and 57; 0 hour predose and 1, 2 and 4 hours postdose on Day 85

  3. Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Defined Time Point 't' (AUC[0-t])

    AUC(0-t)is defined as the area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to time 't' where is a defined time point after administration.

    Measured: 1 hour predose and 1, 2 and 4 hours postdose on Day 1; 0 hour predose on Day 29 and 57; 0 hour predose and 1, 2 and 4 hours postdose on Day 85

  4. Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the End of the Dosing Interval Tau (AUCtau)

    AUCtau is defined as the area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to the end of the dosing interval tau.

    Measured: 1 hour predose and 1, 2 and 4 hours postdose on Day 1; 0 hour predose on Day 29 and 57; 0 hour predose and 1, 2 and 4 hours postdose on Day 85

  5. Observed Maximum Serum Concentration (Cmax) Following Drug Administration

    Cmax is defined as the observed maximum serum concentration following drug administration.

    Measured: 1 hour predose and 1, 2 and 4 hours postdose on Day 1; 0 hour predose on Day 29 and 57; 0 hour predose and 1, 2 and 4 hours postdose on Day 85

  6. Time to Reach the Maximum Concentration After Drug Administration (Tmax)

    Tmax is defined as the time to reach the maximum concentration after drug administration.

    Measured: 1 hour predose and 1, 2 and 4 hours postdose on Day 1; 0 hour predose on Day 29 and 57; 0 hour predose and 1, 2 and 4 hours postdose on Day 85

  7. Change From Baseline in Pain-free Walking Distance (PFWD) as Assessed by 6-minute Walk Test at Week 16

    PFWD was defined as the distance walked up to the point of onset of claudication symptoms (pain) recorded during the 6MWT and was used to evaluate symptomatic functional capacity of PAD participants. The PFWD was measured as the distance walked up to the time/place where the participant first experiences symptoms typical of their claudication which included pain, cramps, or other discomfort in the buttocks, thighs, calves or feet that occurs during the 6MWT exercise period.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16 (Day 113)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing LLG783 in people with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD); Intermittent Claudication, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 8 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 8 inclusion and 16 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 5 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Germany, United States, Taiwan. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Jan 2020). 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?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Drug-related AEs, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Deaths (time frame: Up to 32 Weeks). The study lists 2 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 5 Jan 2021.
