A Pilot Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of LCQ908 Alone and in Combination With Fenofibrate or Lovaza® in Patients With Severe Hypertriglyceridemia - Full Text View

Purpose

This study is to determine a dose response signal for LCQ908 monotherapy and to assess the efficacy and safety of adding LCQ908 to Lovaza or fenofibrate.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Change from baseline in triglycerides (TG) relative to placebo at 6 weeks [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The dose response signal of 3 dose regiments of LCQ908 in patients at risk for non-FCS chylomicronemia as was measured by change from baseline in triglycerides (TG) relative to placebo at 6 weeks.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Change from baseline in triglycerides after adding LCQ908 to background therapy of fenofibrate or Fish Oil at 12 weeks [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Changes from baseline in triglycerides after treatment with LCQ908 monotherapy relative to fenofibrate or fish oil at 6 weeks [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change from baseline in triglycerides after treatment with LCQ908 monotherapy relative to placebo at 12 weeks [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Number of patients in LCQ908 monotherapy with adverse events , serious adverse events and death [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
changefrom baseline in lipids and lipoprotein profiles [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
