Study Details
Primary Purpose Treatment
Condition Acute coronary syndromes
Intervention Drug: ETC-216
Study Arms 3 treatment groups in a respective ratio of approximatley 1:2:2 as follows:
  • Placebo - 0.9% normal saline (11 patients)
  • Low-dose ETC-216 - 15 mg/kg (21 patients)
  • High-dose ETC-216 - 45 mg/kg (15 patients)
Population Size
  • Patients enrolled: 123
  • Patients randomly assigned: 57
  • Patients completed protocol: 47

Methods

  • A 5 week, randomized, double-blinded, multicenter, parallel-treatment randomized control trial[1]
  • Patients enrolled: 123 patients
  • Patients completed the protocol: 47 patients

IVUS was done at baseline. Intravenous infusion took place weekly for 5 consecutive weeks. Two weeks after infusion, IVUS was repeated for comparison.[1]

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

Outcomes

Primary Outcome

Change in percent atheroma volume as measured by IVUS[1]

Secondary Outcomes

Assessment of adverse events, quantitative angiographic changes, change in average maximal thickness or in total volume of atheroma,or atheroma volume change in most and least severely diseases 10-mm-long segments.[1]

Publications

Results

  • 10 patients were discontinued, while another 3 elected to discontinue
  • 2 patients were withdrawn for adverse events
  • 5 had IVUS that could not be analyzed

There was a significant difference in atheroma volume, mean change in total atheroma volume and thickness in the ETC-216 groups (combined) showing a 3.17% difference (p=0.02, p<0.001, p<0.001 respectively).[1] This statistical significance was not seen in patients on placebo. Most regression using ETC-216 was seen in subsegments of 10 mm long that are severely diseased, in comparison to those with only mild disease (p<0.001).[1]

However, luminal diameter on angiography was not different when comparing follow-up to baseline or when comparing ETC-216 vs. placebo.[1]

Adverse events included mainly minor gastrointestinal events, headaches,arthralgias, and edema that were found in all 3 groups. Two important adverse events that required withdrawal were:

  • 1 patient with elevated liver function tests 3 times the upper normal limit with nausea vomiting, and cholelithiasis.[1]
  • 1 patient with chills, rigors, rash, nausea, vomiting, and diaphoresis that occurred during infusion.[1]

Conclusion

Although Apo A-1 Milano infusions resulted in a decrease in plaque burden, further study is required to assess efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness.[1]
