Trial or other data
Dec 18: Phase IV study, which has been published in the Lancet in 2010, was stopped early for treatment benefit. The primary endpoints were reached by five (20%) in the celiprolol group and by 14 (50%) controls (hazard ratio [HR] 0·36; 95% CI 0·15-0·88; p=0·040). Adverse events were severe fatigue in one patient after starting 100 mg celiprolol and mild fatigue in two patients related to dose uptitration [4].
Apr 11: PIV study (NCT00190411) recruited 54 patients aged 15 to 65 years old in France and Belgium. Patients were randomised to either celiprolol (50 to 400 mg BID) or no treatment. Patients who are not randomized enter a longitudinal survey of events. Primary outcome is rate of major cardiovascular events in the treated group during a 5 years follow-up. The hypothesis is a 50% reduction in the occurrence of cardiovascular events under treatment, assessed by a blinded, independent events committee [3].
2010: Prospective randomized open trial completed in 2010 (NCT00190411) [1].
