A Phase 3 interventional study of omega-3-acid ethyl esters 90 (TAK-085) and Eicosapentaenoic acid-ethyl (EPA) in Hypertriglyceridemia, sponsored by Takeda. Completed. Open to participants aged 20 Years to 74 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-09-20.
Sponsored by Takeda · Phase 3, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of TAK-085, once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID), compared to ethyl eicosapentaenoate (EPA-E), three times daily (TID) in participants with hypertriglyceridemia undergoing lifestyle modification.
TAK-085 is an oral capsule medicine licensed to Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Ltd. TAK-085 contains omega-3 fatty acid ethyl (mainly, ethyl eicosapentaenoate (EPA-E) and ethyl docosahexaenoic acid (DHA-E)).
This is a phase 3, open-label, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAK-085. In addition, EPA-E is also administered for 52 weeks for reference to evaluate the safety of TAK-085 in participants with hypertriglyceridemia who are undergoing lifestyle modification.
The study period is a total of 56 weeks, comprised of a 4- week screening period and 52 weeks of treatment.
296 studies on the registry are indexed under Hypertriglyceridemia; 39 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 503 is above the median of 66 across 259 interventional studies indexed under Hypertriglyceridemia.
Browse Hypertriglyceridemia studies →Takeda is the lead sponsor of 1,002 studies on the registry; 92 are open to participants now.
Of its 173 completed or terminated interventional studies of FDA-regulated products, 149 (86%) have results posted.
