What is being measured

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

  1. Absolute Change From Baseline to Month 3 in Fasting Triglycerides (TG)

    Baseline was defined as the average of Day 1 predose fasting assessment and the last fasting measurement prior to Day 1 pre-dose fasting assessment. Month 3 was defined as the average of Week 13 and Week 14 fasting assessments.

    Measured: Baseline to Month 3

  2. Percent Change From Baseline to Month 3 in Fasting Triglycerides (TG)

    Baseline was defined as the average of Day 1 predose fasting assessment and the last fasting measurement prior to Day 1 pre-dose fasting assessment. Month 3 was defined as the average of Week 13 and Week 14 fasting assessments.

    Measured: Baseline to Month 3

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Absolute Change From Baseline to Month 3 in Fasting Angiopoietin-Like 3 (ANGPTL3)

    Baseline was defined as the average of Day 1 predose fasting assessment and the last fasting measurement prior to Day 1 pre-dose fasting assessment. Month 3 was defined as the average of Week 13 and Week 14 fasting assessments.

    Measured: Baseline to Month 3

  2. Percent Change From Baseline to Month 3 in Fasting Angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3)

    Baseline was defined as the average of Day 1 predose fasting assessment and the last fasting measurement prior to Day 1 pre-dose fasting assessment. Month 3 was defined as the average of Week 13 and Week 14 fasting assessments.

    Measured: Baseline to Month 3

  3. Fasting Lipid and Lipoprotein Measurements at Month 3

    Fasting lipid and lipoprotein measurements included non-HDL-C, ApoB, HDL-C, ApoA-1, VLDL-C and LDL-C. Month 3 was defined as the average of Week 13 and Week 14 fasting assessments.

    Measured: Month 3

  4. Absolute Change From Baseline to Month 3 in Other Fasting Lipid Parameters

    Other fasting lipid measurements included total cholesterol (TC), non-HDL-C, ApoB, HDL-C, ApoA-1, VLDL-C, and LDL-C. Baseline was defined as average of Day 1 predose fasting assessment and last fasting measurement prior to Day 1 pre-dose fasting assessment. Month 3 was defined as the average of Week 13 and Week 14 fasting assessments.

    Measured: Baseline to Month 3

  5. Percent (%) Change From Baseline to Month 3 in Other Fasting Lipid Parameters

    Other fasting lipid measurements included TC, non-HDL-C, ApoB, HDL-C, ApoA-1, VLDL-C, and LDL-C. Baseline was defined as average of Day 1 predose fasting assessment and last fasting measurement prior to Day 1 pre-dose fasting assessment. Month 3 was defined as the average of Week 13 and Week 14 fasting assessments.

    Measured: Baseline to Month 3

  6. Change From Baseline to Day 92 in Maximum Postprandial Triglycerides (TG)

    Participants consumed standardized pre-cooked meals (lunches and dinners and instructions for breakfasts and snacks) for 2 days prior to the postprandial assessments. Change from Baseline to Day 92 in maximum postprandial TG was assessed.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 92

  7. Number of Participants Who Experienced Abdominal Pain During the Treatment Period

    Measured: Days 1, 29, 57 and 92

  8. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including a clinically-significant abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the study or use of investigational drug product, whether or not the AE is considered related to the investigational drug product. A TEAE was defined as any AE starting on or after the first dose of the study drug.

    Measured: From time of informed consent to end of follow-up period (Up to Week 26)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AKCEA-ANGPTL3-LRx in people with Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome and Lipoprotein Lipase Deficiency, run by Akcea Therapeutics 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 2 inclusion and 7 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 7 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 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. 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 7 Jan 2021). 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?

Absolute Change From Baseline to Month 3 in Fasting Triglycerides (TG) (time frame: Baseline to Month 3). 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 7 Jan 2021.
