Safety and Efficacy Study Comparing ABT-143 to Simvastatin in Subjects With Elevated Levels of Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol ("Bad Cholesterol") and Triglycerides - Full Text View

Purpose

The primary purpose of this study is to test the effect and safety of three different doses of ABT-143 compared to simvastatin in subjects with elevated levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol ("bad cholesterol") and triglycerides.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Mean Percent Change From Baseline to the Final Visit in Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) (Full Analysis Set) [ Time Frame: Baseline to 8 weeks ]
The mean percent change from Baseline to the Final Visit in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, comparing the following two treatment groups:

ABT-143 capsules 20/135 milligrams versus simvastatin capsules 40 milligrams for the full analysis set.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Mean Percent Change From Baseline to the Final Visit in Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C), With ABT-143 Capsules 10/135 Milligrams Versus Simvastatin Capsules 40 Milligrams (Full Analysis Set) [ Time Frame: Baseline to 8 weeks ]
The mean percent change from Baseline to the Final Visit in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, comparing the following treatment groups, ABT-143 capsules 10/135 milligrams versus simvastatin capsules 40 milligrams for the full analysis set.
Mean Percent Change From Baseline to the Final Visit in Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C), With ABT-143 Capsules 5/135 Milligrams Versus Simvastatin Capsules 40 Milligrams (Full Analysis Set) [ Time Frame: Baseline to 8 weeks ]
The mean percent change from Baseline to the Final Visit in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, comparing the following treatment groups, ABT-143 capsules 5/135 milligrams versus simvastatin capsules 40 milligrams for the full analysis set.

Other Outcome Measures:

Median Percent Change in Triglycerides From Baseline to the Final Visit (Full Analysis Set) [ Time Frame: Baseline to 8 weeks ]
The ABT-143 capsules 20/135 milligram, ABT-143 capsules 10/135 milligram, and ABT-143 capsules 5/135 milligram groups were compared to the simvastatin capsules 40 milligram group for median percent change in triglycerides from Baseline to the Final Visit for the full analysis set.
Mean Percent Change in High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) From Baseline to the Final Visit (Full Analysis Set) [ Time Frame: Baseline to 8 weeks ]
The ABT-143 capsules 20/135 milligram, ABT-143 capsules 10/135 milligram, and ABT-143 capsules 5/135 milligram groups were compared to the simvastatin capsules 40 milligram group for mean percent change in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol from Baseline to the Final Visit for the full analysis set.

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: A - ABT-143 capsules 5/135 mg ABT-143 capsules 5/135 mg - ABT-143 (rosuvastatin 5 mg in combination with fenofibric acid 135 mg) once daily for 8 weeks	Drug: ABT-143 Once daily for 8 weeks
Experimental: B - ABT-143 capsules 10/135 mg ABT-143 capsules 10/135 mg - ABT-143 (rosuvastatin 10 mg in combination with fenofibric acid 135 mg) once daily for 8 weeks	Drug: ABT-143 Once daily for 8 weeks
Experimental: C - ABT-143 capsules 20/135 mg ABT-143 capsules 20/135 mg - ABT-143 (rosuvastatin 20 mg in combination with fenofibric acid 135 mg) once daily for 8 weeks	Drug: ABT-143 Once daily for 8 weeks
Active Comparator: D - Simvastatin capsules 40 mg Simvastatin capsules 40 mg daily for 8 weeks	Drug: simvastatin Once daily for 8 weeks simvastatin capsules 40 mg

Detailed Description:

There are 4 treatment groups in the study: ABT-143 capsules 20/135 mg, ABT-143 capsules 10/135 mg, ABT-143 5/135 mg, and simvastatin capsules 40 mg. The primary outcome measure only compares 2 of these groups: ABT-143 capsules 20/135 mg and the simvastatin capsules 40 mg groups, therefore there are only results for these 2 groups and not all 4 groups for this outcome measure . Secondary outcome measure (mean percent change in LDL-C comparing ABT-143 capsules 10/135 mg to simvastatin capsules 40 mg) only compares these 2 groups: ABT-143 capsules 10/135 mg and simvastatin capsules 40 mg, therefore there are only results for these 2 groups and not all 4 groups for this outcome measure. Secondary outcome measure (mean percent change in LDL-C comparing ABT-143 capsules 5/135 mg to simvastatin capsules 40 mg) only compares these 2 groups: ABT-143 capsules 5/135 mg and simvastatin capsules 40 mg, therefore there are only results for these 2 groups and not all 4 groups for this outcome measure. For the other pre-specified outcome measures, median percent change in triglycerides from baseline to the final visit and mean percent change in HDL-C from baseline to the final visit for the full analysis sets, all 3 ABT-143 capsules 20/135 mg, 10/135 mg, and 5/135 mg groups were compared to the simvastatin capsules 40 mg group, therefore there are results for all 4 treatment groups for these outcome measures.
