Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to establish the efficacy, safety and tolerability of rosuvastatin in children and adolescents with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.


Description:

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, cross-over study of the efficacy, safety and tolerability rosuvastatin in children and adolescents (aged 6 to <18 years) with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). The study is designed to assess the efficacy of rosuvastatin 20 mg compared to placebo on lipids, lipoproteins and apolipoproteins in pediatric patients with HoFH. The outcome measures to be assessed include low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, non-HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, non-HDL-C/HDL-C, apolipoprotein B (ApoB), apolipoprotein A 1 (ApoA-1) and ApoB/ApoA-1 following 6 weeks of treatment with rosuvastatin 20 mg or placebo. Pharmacokinetic data of the trough plasma exposure of rosuvastatin will also be assessed in these pediatric patients with HoFH.

4. Willing to follow all study procedures including adherence to dietary guidelines, study visits, fasting blood draws, and compliance with study treatment regimens.

Exclusion Criteria

2. Fasting serum glucose of >9.99 mmol/L (180 mg/dL) or glycosylated hemoglobin >9% at Visit 1 or patients with a history of diabetic ketoacidosis within the past year.

3. Uncontrolled hypothyroidism defined as thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) >1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) at Visit 1 or patients whose thyroid replacement therapy was initiated or modified within the last 3 months prior to Visit 2.

4. Current active liver disease or hepatic dysfunction (except a confirmed diagnosis of Gilbert's disease) as defined as elevations of 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) for any age in any of the following liver function tests at Visit 1: Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), or bilirubin.

5. Definite or suspected personal history or family history of clinically significant adverse drug reactions (ADRs), or hypersensitivity to drugs with a similar chemical structure to rosuvastatin as well as other statins.
