Apo A-1 was infused in cholesterol fed rabbits and showed a decreased intimal thickness and macrophage content after balloon injury in [[femoral artery|femoral]] and iliac arteries. Based on these results, another pilot trial was designed using recombinant Apo A-1 Milano phospholipid complex (ETC-216) in 57 patients within two weeks of the onset of [[acute coronary syndrome]]. Subjects were randomly assigned to treatment with either ETC 216 infusion at 15 mg/kg or 45 mg/kg or to placebo. [[IVUS]] was performed at baseline and repeated at the completion of the study.
*A 5 week, randomized, double-blinded, multicenter, parallel-treatment [[randomized control trial]]<ref name="pmid14600188">{{cite journal |author=Nissen SE, Tsunoda T, Tuzcu EM, ''et al.'' |title=Effect of recombinant ApoA-I Milano on coronary atherosclerosis in patients with acute coronary syndromes: a randomized controlled trial |journal=[[JAMA : the Journal of the American Medical Association]] |volume=290 |issue=17 |pages=2292–300 |year=2003 |month=November |pmid=14600188 |doi=10.1001/jama.290.17.2292 |url=}}</ref>
*Patients enrolled: 123 patients
*Patients randomly assigned: 57 patients
 
===Inclusion Criteria===
*Age: 30-75 years
*[[Angiography performed]] within 14 days following [[ACS]] event.
*At least 20% luminal diameter stenosis by visual estimated required
*[[Intravascular ultrasound]] ([[IVUS]]) done within 14 days of ACS event.
*No more than 50% luminal narrowing in a segment that is at least 30 mm in length.

===Study Arms===
*11 patients in placebo group consisting of 0.9% normal saline
*21 patients in low (15 mg/kg) dose ETC-216 group

==Results==
==Results==
Treatment with ETC-216 (in both doses) resulted in a significant decrease in mean percentage of coronary artery volume occupied by atheroma as well as the total atheroma volume. Whereas the placebo group did not show any significant change.
*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*2 patients were withdrawn for adverse events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).<ref name="pmid14600188">{{cite journal |author=Nissen SE, Tsunoda T, Tuzcu EM, ''et al.'' |title=Effect of recombinant ApoA-I Milano on coronary atherosclerosis in patients with acute coronary syndromes: a randomized controlled trial |journal=[[JAMA : the Journal of the American Medical Association]] |volume=290 |issue=17 |pages=2292–300 |year=2003 |month=November |pmid=14600188 |doi=10.1001/jama.290.17.2292 |url=}}</ref> This statistical significance was not seen in patients on placebo.

Objective

  • Previous studies conducted on mice and rabbits showed that rApo A-I Milano/phospholipid complex can mobilize cholesterol within 48 hours and reduce atherosclerosis.[1]


Timeline

Start Date

November 2001

End Date

March 2003

Methods

  • A 5 week, randomized, double-blinded, multicenter, parallel-treatment randomized control trial[1]
  • Patients enrolled: 123 patients
  • Patients randomly assigned: 57 patients

Inclusion Criteria

Study Arms

  • 11 patients in placebo group consisting of 0.9% normal saline
  • 21 patients in low (15 mg/kg) dose ETC-216 group
  • 15 patients in high (45 mg/kg) dose ETC-216 group

The ratio of patient enrollment in the 3 groups was 1:2:2, respectively.[1]

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

Outcomes

Primary Outcome

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

Secondary Outcome

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]

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]

Results

Treatment with ETC-216 (in both doses) resulted in a significant decrease in mean percentage of coronary artery volume occupied by atheroma as well as the total atheroma volume.[1] Whereas the placebo group did not show any significant change.[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]
