Trial summary

This observational study will follow participants who completed follow-up in the FOURIER OUTCOMES trial to evaluate the long-term effects of evolocumab treatment. Long-term post-trial (legacy) beneficial effects have been reported with statins, niacin, hypoglycemic therapy and fibrates. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Long-term Study of LDL-c Lowering With Evolocumab: Observational Follow-up After the FOURIER OUTCOMES Trial.

This observational study will follow participants who completed follow-up in the FOURIER OUTCOMES trial to evaluate the long-term effects of evolocumab treatment. Long-term post-trial (legacy) beneficial effects have been reported with statins, niacin, hypoglycemic therapy and fibrates. Whether similar effects are seen after LDL cholesterol (LDL-c) lowering by PCSK9 inhibition is currently unknown.

Evolocumab therapy causes a profound reduction in LDL cholesterol of approximately 60%. Statins have shown legacy effects over 5 years post-trial, including a 7% reduction in total mortality in meta-analysis and 12% reduction in coronary mortality. It would therefore be hypothesized that additional effects beyond the trial period would be conferred by previous evolocumab treatment. It is also important to assess the long-term safety of prior evolocumab treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases and Cardiovascular Morbidity, run by University of Sydney at 3 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States, Norway, 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Withdrawal of funding.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

To evaluate the potential long-term effect of evolocumab treatment on a composite of CV death, MI, stroke or coronary revascularisation in participants completing participation in the FOURIER OUTCOMES trial. (time frame: 5 years). 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 8 Apr 2024.
