A Study to Evaluate the Lipid Regulating Effects of TRIA-662 - Full Text View

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of TRIA-662 (also known as 1-MNA) in treating elevated triglyceride levels in patients not receiving lipid lowering treatment. This study will determine the effects of TRIA-662 on commonly measured blood fats that are known to be important in the prevention of vascular disease.

Primary Outcome Measures:

The primary efficacy parameter is the percent change in total serum Triglycerides from baseline to end of study [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of 12 weeks of active treatment ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

The secondary efficacy parameters include the percent change in total cholesterol (TC), its major lipoprotein sub-fractions and the effects on inflammatory markers [ Time Frame: From baseline to the end of 12 weeks of active treatment ]

Detailed Description:

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging, multi-center study. Following a 6-8 week placebo and dietary-controlled baseline period, approximately 195 men and women with either hypertriglyceridemia or mixed hyperlipidemia with serum triglycerides (TG) > 200 mg/dl (2.26 mmol/l) will be randomized to receive either placebo, 30 mg TRIA-662 or 90 mg TRIA-662 three times daily for twelve weeks. Lipid and ancillary exploratory parameters will be evaluated at screening, during the baseline period, upon randomisation and throughout the 12-week active treatment period.
