A 12-Week, Phase 2 Study of Gemcabene in Hypercholesterolemia Patients on Stable Moderate and High-Intensity Statins

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Hypercholesteremia
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT02634151
Lead Sponsor
NeuroBo Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of multiple doses of gemcabene 600 mg QD compared to placebo in patients with hypercholesterolemia not adequately controlled on high-intensity or moderate-intensity stable statin therapy. Patients with HeFH, ASCVD, or otherwise uncontrolled, may be included with baseline LDL-C value ≥ 100 mg/dL. Subjects were randomized 1:1 to gemcabene 600 mg once daily (QD) or placebo.

Percent Change From Baseline in LDL-C by Statin Intensity StratumBaseline, Week 12

The intensity of statin therapy was determined based on the statin dose.Participants were categorized as high intensity \& moderate intensity based on their statin doses.

Change From Baseline in Framingham Risk ScoreBaseline, Week 12

Framingham Risk Score was an estimate of a participant's 10-year risk of developing cardiovascular disease which was computed using sex-specific algorithms based on total point score (range less than negative 3 \[best\] to greater than or equal to 14 \[worst\] for men; less than or equal to negative 2 \[best\] and greater than or equal to 17 \[worst\] for women) : which was derived of participant's age, systolic blood pressure , smoking status, TC, HDL-C, treatment for hypertension, and diabetes status. Reported score is a percentage. Change from baseline calculated as mean at week 12 minus mean at baseline. Negative scores indicate less risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
