CER-001 Atherosclerosis Regression ACS Trial (CARAT)

February 6, 2019 updated by: Cerenis Therapeutics, SA

CER-001 Atherosclerosis Regression ACS Trial; A Phase II Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Focusing Trial Of Cer-001 In Subjects With Acute Coronary Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of ten intravenous infusions of 3 mg/kg CER 001 vs. placebo, given at weekly intervals for ten weeks, on atherosclerotic plaque volume as measured by coronary IVUS, when administered to subjects presenting with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) with significant plaque volume.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Subjects will be required to have at least one epicardial coronary artery suitable for IVUS imaging. A suitable target artery for IVUS imaging will be determined at baseline as having stenosis of up to 50% and meeting all angiographic inclusion criteria. Subjects having met all eligibility criteria will be randomized to receive an intravenous infusion of CER 001 (3 mg/kg) or placebo within 14 days of event presentation. Randomized subjects will then return at 7 day intervals for nine additional infusions. A follow up IVUS will be conducted at 14 days after the last infusion. The total study duration from randomization to follow up IVUS for a completed study can range from approximately 9 to 12 weeks.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Nominal Change in Percent Atheroma Volume (PAV)
Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks
The nominal change from baseline to follow-up (at 12 weeks) in the percent atheroma volume (PAV) in the target coronary artery assessed by 3 dimensional (3D) IVUS
Baseline to 12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Nominal Change in Normalized Total Atheroma Volume (TAV)
Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks
Baseline to 12 weeks

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Major Cardiovascular Events (MACE)
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Episodes of all death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, resuscitated cardiac arrest, non-fatal stroke, fatal stroke, coronary revascularization procedures [percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)], hospitalization for unstable angina, urgent visit or hospitalization for congestive heart failure (CHF), any admission for a procedure for the treatment of PVD (including cerebrovascular procedures) and urgent readmission with chest pain. The events will be reviewed and adjudicated by the Clinical Endpoint Committee according to established definitions. This study is not powered for MACE endpoints.
12 weeks
Lipid Profiles
Time Frame: Throughout the 12 week study period
Pre-dose lipid profiles, including low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), unesterified cholesterol (UC), triglycerides (TG), phospholipids (PL), apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) and apolipoprotein B (apoB), will be determined periodically throughout the study
