Registration Number

Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this trial is to assess the continued efficacy of Omacor co-administered with simvastatin for lowering non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HCL-C) levels.

Detailed Description

The present trial is an open-label, uncontrolled extension to the previous trial (PRV-06009) which utilized a randomized,double-blind, two-period crossover design with eight clinic visits.

The current trial consists of nine clinic visits over 104 weeks. There will be two treatment periods in this study:

* Phase I: All subjects will receive simvastatin 80 md/d plus Omacor 4 g/d for the first six weeks of the trial.

* Phase II: All subjects will receive simvastatin (at a dose to be determined at the discretion of the Investigator) plus Omacor 4 g/d for the remainder of the treatment period.

Omacor 4 grams/day plus simvastatin 80 mg/day.Omacor + simvastatinSubjects who had successfully completed a 12-wk double-blind crossover study of P-OM3 plus simvastatin 20 mg/d were eligible for the open-label extension study. Omacor 4 grams/day plus simvastatin 80 mg/day. Simvastatin dose adjusted at Investigator discretion after week 6.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Median % Change in Non-HDL-C From Baseline to Week 6Week 6

The primary efficacy endpoint will be the median percent change in non-HDL-C from baseline (average of weeks -2, -1, and 0) of the PRV-06009 (NCT00487591) double-blind study to Week 6 of PRV-06009X.

Briefly, non-HDL-C was measured at Weeks -2, -1, and 0 from blood samples, and the concentrations of non-HDL-C in the blood at these timepoints were averaged to obtain baseline non-HDL-C concentration. Similarly, non-HDLC was measured at Week 6 from blood samples. Statistical analysis was performed comparing the change in non-HDL-C concentration from baseline to Week 6 and presented herein.
