Brief Summary:
A placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, phase III multicenter study in subjects recently hospitalized for ACS and with the appropriate genetic profile. Subjects will provide informed consent before any study-specific procedures are performed. Subject enrollment may begin in the hospital and will continue following release from the hospital. Screening procedures may be performed at the time of the index ACS event or anytime thereafter, with the condition that randomization must occur within the mandated window (4-12 weeks after the index event). Subjects will be assessed based on their medical history. Those who are likely to qualify will undergo Genotype Assay testing to evaluate genetic determination for the presence of AA genotype.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Acute Coronary Syndrome Drug: dalcetrapib Drug: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:

This is an event driven study to reach statistical power given all other assumptions. Subjects will visit the clinic 1 month after randomization and at regular intervals thereafter. Additionally, for any subject prematurely discontinuing study medication, assessments will be conducted every 6 months for the collection of study endpoints.

Those who are likely to qualify will undergo Genotype Assay Testing to evaluate genetic determination or the presence of the AA genotype. The test is investigational and test procedures are Roche Molecular Diagnostics protocol ADCY9-COB-389.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Composite of Cardiovascular Death, Resuscitated Cardiac Arrest, Non-Fatal Myocardial Infarction, and Non-Fatal Stroke [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first occurrence of any component of the composite primary endpoint (median duration of follow-up was 39.9 months) ]
    All efficacy endpoints were adjudicated by an independent clinical endpoint committee (CEC). The primary efficacy endpoint was the time from randomization to the first occurrence of any component of the composite endpoint, which included death from cardiovascular causes, resuscitated cardiac arrest, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or non-fatal stroke, as positively adjudicated by the CEC.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Composite Endpoint of Cardiovascular Death, Resuscitated Cardiac Arrest, Non-Fatal Myocardial Infarction, Non-Fatal Stroke, Hospitalization for ACS (With Electrocardiogram Abnormalities) or Unanticipated Coronary Revascularization [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first occurrence of any component of the composite secondary endpoint (median duration of follow-up was 39.9 months) ]
    All efficacy endpoints were adjudicated by an independent clinical endpoint committee (CEC). The primary efficacy endpoint was the time from randomization to the first occurrence of any component of the composite endpoint, which included death from cardiovascular causes, resuscitated cardiac arrest, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome (with electrocardiogram abnormalities) or unanticipated coronary revascularization, as positively adjudicated by the CEC.

  2. Composite Endpoint of Cardiovascular Death, Resuscitated Cardiac Arrest, Non-Fatal Myocardial Infarction, Non-Fatal Stroke or Hospitalization for New or Worsening Heart Failure [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first occurrence of any component of the composite secondary endpoint (median duration of follow-up was 39.9 months) ]
    All efficacy endpoints were adjudicated by an independent clinical endpoint committee (CEC). The secondary efficacy endpoint was the time from randomization to the first occurrence of any component of the composite secondary endpoint, which included death from cardiovascular causes, cardiovascular death, resuscitated cardiac arrest, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, or hospitalization for new or worsening heart failure, as positively adjudicated by the CEC.
