Brief summary

The primary objective of this trial is to assess the continued efficacy of Omacor co-administered with simvastatin for lowering non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HCL-C) levels.

Detailed description

The present trial is an open-label, uncontrolled extension to the previous trial (PRV-06009) which utilized a randomized,double-blind, two-period crossover design with eight clinic visits. The current trial consists of nine clinic visits over 104 weeks. There will be two treatment periods in this study: * Phase I: All subjects will receive simvastatin 80 md/d plus Omacor 4 g/d for the first six weeks of the trial. * Phase II: All subjects will receive simvastatin (at a dose to be determined at the discretion of the Investigator) plus Omacor 4 g/d for the remainder of the treatment period.

Interventions

DRUGOmacor + simvastatin

Omacor 4 grams/day plus simvastatin 80 mg/day. Simvastatin dose adjusted at Investigator discretion after week 6.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Median % Change in Non-HDL-C From Baseline to Week 6Week 6The primary efficacy endpoint will be the median percent change in non-HDL-C from baseline (average of weeks -2, -1, and 0) of the PRV-06009 (NCT00487591) double-blind study to Week 6 of PRV-06009X. Briefly, non-HDL-C was measured at Weeks -2, -1, and 0 from blood samples, and the concentrations of non-HDL-C in the blood at these timepoints were averaged to obtain baseline non-HDL-C concentration. Similarly, non-HDLC was measured at Week 6 from blood samples. Statistical analysis was performed comparing the change in non-HDL-C concentration from baseline to Week 6 and presented herein.

Outcome results

Primary

Median % Change in Non-HDL-C From Baseline to Week 6

The primary efficacy endpoint will be the median percent change in non-HDL-C from baseline (average of weeks -2, -1, and 0) of the PRV-06009 (NCT00487591) double-blind study to Week 6 of PRV-06009X. Briefly, non-HDL-C was measured at Weeks -2, -1, and 0 from blood samples, and the concentrations of non-HDL-C in the blood at these timepoints were averaged to obtain baseline non-HDL-C concentration. Similarly, non-HDLC was measured at Week 6 from blood samples. Statistical analysis was performed comparing the change in non-HDL-C concentration from baseline to Week 6 and presented herein.

Time frame: Week 6

Population: The results are from the 14 participants who were on Omacor 4 grams/day plus simvastatin 80 mg/day who completed Week 6.

Time frame: 104 weeks

Population: Subjects received Omacor 4 grams/day plus simvastatin 80 mg/day for 6 weeks. Simvastatin dose adjusted to 80 mg/day or 40 mg/day at Investigator's discretion after week 6.~14 participants provided data at Week 6. However, by Week 104, one participant from the 80 mg/day simvastatin group dropped out, leaving a total of 13 participants who completed Week 104.
