The Evaluation of Bococizumab (PF-04950615;RN316) in Reducing the Occurrence of Major Cardiovascular Events in High Risk Subjects

Phase 3TerminatedNCT01975376

Pfizer16,784 enrolled

Overview

This study evaluates the PCSK9 inhibitor, Bococizumab (PF-04950615;RN316), compared to placebo, in reducing the occurrence of major cardiovascular events, including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and unstable angina requiring urgent revascularization, in high risk subjects who are receiving background lipid lowering therapy and have cholesterol laboratory values of LDL-C \>/= 70 mg/dL (1.8 mmol/L) or non-HDL-C \>/= 100 mg /dL (2.6 mmol/L).

The trial was terminated prematurely on November 1, 2016, due to the emerging clinical profile and the evolving treatment and market landscape for lipid-lowering agents. These indicated that bococizumab was not likely to provide value to patients, physicians, or shareholders. The decision was not based on a recommendation by the independent Data Monitoring Committee to stop the program.

Interventions

bococizumab (PF-04950615)DRUG

150 mg, every 2 weeks, subcutaneous. The duration of the treatment period will depend upon reaching the targeted number of adjudicated and confirmed CV outcome events, approximately 3 to 4 years after the entry of first subject into the study.

PlaceboDRUG

Placebo comparator, every 2 weeks, subcutaneous. The duration of the treatment period will depend upon reaching the targeted number of adjudicated and confirmed CV outcome events, approximately 3 to 4 years after the entry of first subject into the study.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Event Rate Per 100 Participant-Years For First Occurrence of Major Cardiovascular (CV) Event

Event rate per 100 participant-years for first occurrence of major CV event (adjudicated by Adjudication Committee) was reported. Major CV event was defined as any of the following: CV death (defined as sudden cardiac death, fatal myocardial infarction \[MI\], death due to heart failure, death due to stroke \[fatal ischemic stroke or fatal stroke of undetermined etiology\], or death due to other cardiovascular causes) non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, and hospitalization for unstable angina needing urgent revascularization. Event rate was calculated as the number of events per 100 participant-years at risk.

Time frame: From baseline until the date of first adjudicated and confirmed occurrence of major CV event (maximum duration: up to 3.4 years)

Secondary Outcomes

Event Rate Per 100 Participant-Years For First Occurrence of Composite Endpoint of Cardiovascular Death, Non-Fatal Myocardial Infraction, or Non-Fatal Stroke

Event rate per 100 participant-years for first occurrence of composite endpoint of CV death, non-fatal MI or non-fatal stroke (adjudicated by Adjudication Committee) was reported. Cardiovascular death was defined as sudden cardiac death, fatal MI, death due to heart failure, death due to stroke (fatal ischemic stroke or fatal stroke of undetermined etiology), or death due to other cardiovascular causes. Event rate was calculated as the number of events per 100 participant-years at risk.

Time frame: From baseline until the date of first adjudicated and confirmed occurrence of the CV death, non-fatal MI or non-fatal stroke (maximum duration: up to 3.4 years)

Event Rate Per 100 Participant-Years For First Occurrence of Composite Endpoint of All-Cause Death, Non-Fatal Myocardial Infraction, Non-Fatal Stroke, or Hospitalization for Unstable Angina Needing Urgent Revascularization

Event rate per 100 participant-years for first occurrence of composite endpoint of all-cause death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, or hospitalization for unstable angina needing urgent revascularization (adjudicated by Adjudication Committee) was reported. All-cause death was defined as the death due to any cause during the course of study. Event rate was calculated as the number of events per 100 participant-years at risk.
