Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Atherosclerosis
Interventions
Drug: MLDL1278A
Drug: placebo
Drug: statin, stable dose
Registration Number
NCT01258907
Lead Sponsor
Genentech, Inc.
Brief Summary

This is a Phase II (proof-of-activity), double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, multicenter study of MLDL1278A (also known as BI-204) involving patients on standard-of-care therapy for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with evidence of vascular inflammation, as quantified by FDG-PET/CT.

Target Recruitment
147
Inclusion Criteria
  • Evidence of qualifying vessel (carotid or aortic) plaque inflammation
  • Documented atherosclerotic vascular disease clinically stable for at least 3 months prior to screening or type 2 diabetes mellitus with elevated cardiovascular risk
  • Use of a stable dose of statin therapy for at least 6 weeks prior to screening. Patients must be capable of maintaining statin therapy at a current dose level from screening until the last follow-up visit.
  • For patients taking angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (ACE-I) or angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs), non-statin lipid-modifying therapy, thiazolidinediones, inhaled steroids, or leukotriene modifying agents, use of a stable dose for at least 6 weeks prior to screening and capable of continuing with that dose for the duration of the study
Exclusion Criteria
  • Occurrence of a cardiovascular event < 6 months prior to screening
  • Pregnant, planning to become pregnant during the study, or breastfeeding
  • Clinically significant abnormal laboratory values or abnormal ECG or vital signs
  • History of anaphylactic reactions
  • Newly discovered Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (prior to study entry) or medical treatment for T2DM started < 3 months prior to study entry
  • Use of insulin, corticosteroids (oral, rectal, or injectable), or other immunosuppressive medications
  • Current or recent (within 4 weeks prior to screening) infection, including signs, symptoms or serology of any infection, including HIV, hepatitis B or C
  • Impaired renal function
  • History of malignancy within 2 years prior to screening
  • Current life-threatening condition other than vascular disease that may prevent a patient from completing the study
  • Use of an investigational drug or biologic within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study medication
  • Exposure to substantial radiation within 12 months prior to screening
