Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of GFT505 80mg in reducing serum Triglycerides (TG) and increasing High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) levels compared with placebo in atherogenic dyslipidaemic patients with abdominal obesity, and to assess the tolerability and safety of once-a-day administrations of oral doses of GFT505 during 28 days.

Read the detailed description

The study period per patient is 7 to 14 weeks: a screening period (1 to 8 weeks) will precede a 4-week double-blind treatment period and a 2-week follow-up period.

During the screening period, patients will be asked to start or continue adequate diet and exercise and to stop their lipid-lowering medication (for not treatment-naïve patients). For patient taking any lipid-regulating medication, a minimum of 8-week wash-out from lipid-regulating therapies (fibrates, statins, …) is required.

    To evaluate the efficacy of GFT505 80mg in increasing HDL-C levels compared with placebo. Evaluation will be made during the selection period, then the first day prior any drug intake, 2 and 4 weeks after the first treatment intake and 2 weeks after the last treatment intake (follow-up visit)

    Time frame: 28 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Decrease in Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) levels

    To evaluate the efficacy of GFT505 80mg in reducing LDL-C levels compared with placebo. Evaluation will be made during the selection period, then the first day prior any drug intake, 2 and 4 weeks after the first treatment intake and 2 weeks after the last treatment intake (follow-up visit)

    Time frame: 28 days

  2. Decrease in non-HDL-C (High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol) levels

    To evaluate the efficacy of GFT505 80mg in reducing non-HDL-C levels compared with placebo.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 7, 2011, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
