Study Summary

This study was designed to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of ACZ885 on aneurysmal growth rate in subjects with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The purpose of the study was to provide data to enable decisions regarding the further development of ACZ885 for subjects with abdominal aortic aneurysms. The design of this study addressed the primary objective of evaluating the change in aneurysmal size in subjects with AAA as a result of treatment with ACZ885.

Primary Outcome

Size of the AAA was determined using an abdominal ultrasound technique at baseline, 3 months, and 12 months after treatment with study drug. Growth rate (in mm/year) was calculated from the change in AAA size compared to baseline
