Phase 2
Completed
- Conditions
- Atherosclerosis
- Interventions
- Drug: MLDL1278ADrug: placeboDrug: 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.

- All
- 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
