Barter - Figure 23 - dal-OUTCOMES

Given all of the above, there are 3 further trials currently underway, assessing a strategy of CETP inhibition:

The first trial, dal-OUTCOMES, is with dalcetrapib (Roche), another member of the CETP inhibitor class, as shown in this Figure. This trial is now close to completion, having enrolled 15,600 patients who were 4-12 weeks post acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event, or acute myocardial infarction (MI). They were all on statin therapy to achieve optimal LDL levels, which was maintained throughout the study, and half were randomized to receive dalcetrapib at a 600 mg dose, with a planned follow-up of 2.5 years, but with everybody followed up for at least 2 years and 80% reaching the 2.5 years. dal-OUTCOMES is an event-driven trial, and it will continue until the required number of events has been reached, a composite endpoint of various cardiovascular events typical of most trials of this kind.
