Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of Fluvastatin Sodium Extended Release Tablets 80 mg Once Daily in Chinese Patients With Primary Hypercholesterolemia or Mixed Dyslipidemia (NCT NCT01551173)

NCT ID: NCT01551173

Last Updated: 2015-08-13

Results Overview

After the patient has been sitting for at least 5 minutes, a 12 hour fasting blood sample will be withdrawn at baseline and endpoint. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with treatment, center, and indication category as factors and baseline LDL-C as a covariate will be used to analyze percent change from baseline in LDL-C.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, week 12

Population: FAS: all randomized patients who received at least one dose of double-blind study medication and one post-randomization efficacy parameter measurement. The intent-to-treat principle, patients were analyzed according to the treatment they were assigned to at randomization. Endpoint: final available post-baseline assessment to last scheduled visit

After the patient has been sitting for at least 5 minutes, a 12 hour fasting blood sample will be withdrawn at baseline and endpoint. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with treatment, center, and indication category as factors and baseline LDL-C as a covariate will be used to analyze percent change from baseline in LDL-C.

Population: FAS: all randomized patients who received at least one dose of double-blind study medication and one post-randomization efficacy parameter measurement. The intent-to-treat principle, patients were analyzed according to the treatment they were assigned to at randomization. Endpoint: final available post-baseline assessment to last scheduled visit

After the patient has been sitting for at least 5 minutes, a 12 hour fasting blood sample will be withdrawn. An analogous ANCOVA model to that used in the analysis of the primary variable will be used to compare the change in LDL-C, TC, HDL-C, non HDL-C and TG from baseline between treatment groups at Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, week 4, week 8, week 12, Endpoint

Population: FAS: all randomized patients who received at least one dose of double-blind study medication and one post-randomization efficacy parameter measurement. The intent-to-treat principle, patients were analyzed according to the treatment they were assigned to at randomization. Endpoint: final available post-baseline assessment to last scheduled visit

LDL-C treatment goal is defined as patients at moderate CV risk with LDL-C levels \< 3.37 mmol/L (130 mg/dL) or patients at high CV-risk with LDL-C levels \< 2.59 mmol/L (100 mg/dL). The proportion of patients in each treatment group achieving their LDL-C goal during the double-blind period will be compared at Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 and Endpoint using a logistic regression model with treatment and center as factors and baseline LDL-C as a covariate. Odds ratio estimates derived from the logistic regression model and 95%CI will be used to quantify the treatment effect.
