Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy of Aliskiren on the Progression of Atherosclerosis in Coronary Artery Disease Patients (NCT NCT00853827)

NCT ID: NCT00853827

Last Updated: 2014-06-03

Results Overview

Change from baseline in PAV for all matched slices of anatomically comparable segments of the target coronary artery were assessed by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) evaluation after 104 weeks of treatment . calculation for change is the value at the later time point minus the value at the earlier time point, with positive numbers to represent increases and negative numbers to represent decreases

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 104 weeks

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) - All randomized patients. Patients were analyzed according to the treatment that they were assigned at randomization. All patients who had a valid baseline and post baseline IVUS measurement and post-baseline IVUS measurement and at least ≥72 weeks of treatment were included in this analysis.

Change from baseline in PAV for all matched slices of anatomically comparable segments of the target coronary artery were assessed by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) evaluation after 104 weeks of treatment . calculation for change is the value at the later time point minus the value at the earlier time point, with positive numbers to represent increases and negative numbers to represent decreases

Change from baseline in normalized total atheroma volume (TAV) (mm\^3) for all matched slices of anatomically comparable segments of the target coronary artery were assess by IVUS after 104 weeks of treatment. calculation for change is the value at the later time point minus the value at the earlier time point, with positive numbers to represent increases and negative numbers to represent decreases

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 104 weeks

Population: Safety - All patients who received at least one dose of double-blind trial medication. Patients were analyzed according to the treatment that they received

overall safety and tolerability of aliskiren 300 mg compared to placebo in patients with CAD and BP in the pre-hypertensive (high normal) range with or without treatment for hypertension following 104 weeks of treatment. Any Adverse Event was defined as occurrence of any symptom regardless of intensity grade, Serious Adverse Event (SAEs) assessed as medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in persistent or significant disability/incapacity.
