AZURE-Outcomes
Official Title: A Phase III, Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study to Assess the Effect of AZD0780 on Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Patients With Elevated Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Clinical Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease or at Risk for a First Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Event
Sponsor: AstraZeneca
Principal Investigator: Lowell Chang, MD, FACC
Condition: Cardiovascular Disease
Study Description: This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group Phase III study to evaluate the effect on the reduction of LDL-C and the safety and tolerability of AZD0780 versus placebo, administered as xx mg once daily orally, on top of maximally tolerated lipid-lowering regimen including maximally tolerated statin therapy. The target population is adults ≥ 18 years of age with LDL-C ≥ 55 mg/dL and history of clinical ASCVD or ≥ 70 mg/dL and at risk for a first ASCVD event. The study will be conducted at approximately 470 centres in approximately 21 countries.
The screening period is up to 14 days (and may be conditionally extended), starts at the date of signed informed consent, and ends on the day before the randomisation visit. Participants will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to either AZD0780 or placebo for a treatment period of 52 weeks and a 10-day safety follow-up. Those randomised to the AZD0780 group will receive AZD0780 xx mg orally once daily during the treatment period, while those in the placebo group will receive matching placebo. The study will include approximately 2800 randomised participants. An independent data monitoring committee will, on a regular basis, review accumulating data from the study, evaluate adverse effects of the IMP, and make recommendations regarding whether to halt or modify the study.
