Fenofibric Acid (Page 6 of 8)

14.2 Primary Hypercholesterolemia (Heterozygous Familial and Nonfamilial) and Mixed Dyslipidemia

The effects of fenofibrate at a dose equivalent to fenofibric acid delayed-release capsules 135 mg once daily were assessed from four randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group studies including patients with the following mean baseline lipid values: Total-C 306.9 mg/dL; LDL-C 213.8 mg/dL; HDL-C 52.3 mg/dL; and triglycerides 191.0 mg/dL. Fenofibrate therapy lowered LDL-C, Total-C, and the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio. Fenofibrate therapy also lowered triglycerides and raised HDL-C (Table 5).

Mean baseline lipid values (n = 646) 306.9 213.8 52.3 191.0
All Fenofibrate (n = 361) -18.7%* -20.6%* +11.0%* -28.9%*
Placebo (n = 285) -0.4% -2.2% +0.7% +7.7%
Baseline LDL C > 160 mg / dL and TG < 150 mg / dL
Mean baseline lipid values (n = 334) 307.7 227.7 58.1 101.7
All Fenofibrate (n = 193) -22.4%* -31.4%* +9.8%* -23.5%*
Placebo (n = 141) +0.2% -2.2% +2.6% +11.7%
Baseline LDL C > 160 mg / dL and TG 150 mg / dL
Mean baseline lipid values (n = 242) 312.8 219.8 46.7 231.9
All Fenofibrate (n = 126) -16.8%* -20.1%* +14.6%* -35.9%*
Placebo (n = 116) -3.0% -6.6% +2.3% +0.9%

In a subset of the subjects, measurements of Apo B were conducted. Fenofibrate treatment significantly reduced Apo B from baseline to endpoint as compared with placebo (-25.1% vs. 2.4%, p < 0.0001, n = 213 and 143, respectively).
