Usability Study of the Commercial Auto-injector Device and the New Auto-injector Device (SYDNEY) in Patients With High or Very High CV Risk With Hypercholesterolemia Not Adequately Controlled With Their Lipid-Modifying Therapy
NCT03415178 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Primary Objective: To collect real-use (usability) data assessing the robustness and user interaction of the new alirocumab auto-injector device (which is referred to as SYDNEY), in unsupervised settings. Secondary Objective: Device-related: * To collect real-use (usability) data assessing the robustness and user interaction of SYDNEY and the current alirocumab auto-injector device (which is referred to as AI) in supervised settings. Pharmacokinetics: * To compare alirocumab pharmacokinetics (PK) administered using SYDNEY and AI. * To evaluate alirocumab PK administered using SYDNEY. Anti-drug antibodies: * To evaluate the development of anti-drug (alirocumab) antibodies (ADA). Efficacy/pharmacodynamics: * To compare the percent and absolute change in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) using SYDNEY and AI. * To evaluate the percent and absolute change in LDL-C using SYDNEY. Safety: * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab using both SYDNEY and AI.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03415178
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03415178 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 3, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 69 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Sanofi, which has 275 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Hypercholesterolaemia appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 5 interventions — of which Rosuvastatin is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03415178 reports 13 study locations spanning 9 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Florida, Ohio, California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
