About this study

Official title: Long Term Safety Study of PRALUENT in Patients With Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia or With Non-Familial Hypercholesterolemia at High and Very High Cardiovascular Risk and Previously Enrolled in the Neurocognitive Function Trial

The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the long term safety of PRALUENT in participants with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) or non-familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) participants at high or very high cardiovascular risk who completed the neurocognitive function study R727-CL-1532 (NCT02957682).

The secondary objectives of the study were:

  • To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)
  • To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on other lipid parameters
  • To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on gonadal steroid hormones

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE) After First Administration of Study Drug Through the Last Dose of Study Drug Plus 2 Weeks

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study drug which may or may not have a causal relationship with the study drug.

AESI include local injection site reactions, general allergic events, elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels greater than or equal to (≥) 3 upper limit normal (ULN) (if baseline is less than (<) ULN)/ALT ≥2 x ULN (if baseline ≥ ULN), neurologic events, neurocognitive events (according to Customized Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities [MedDRA] Query [CMQ] by Sponsor grouping and CMQ by FDA grouping), cataract, new onset diabetes (NOD), hepatic disorders, and diabetes mellitus (DM)/diabetic complications.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Praluent in people with Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia and Non-familial Hypercholesterolemia, run by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals at 123 sites in 6 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 1 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 123 sites in United States, Russia, South Africa, Ukraine, Bulgaria and 1 more country. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 15 Jun 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?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE) After First Administration of Study Drug Through the Last Dose of Study Drug Plus 2 Weeks (time frame: After first administration of study drug through the last dose of study drug plus 2 weeks, up to 80 weeks). 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 15 Jun 2021.
