A recombinant high-density lipoprotein (HDL) mimetic: a complex of a human apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) and phospholipids
FPHA includes patients with a heritable genetic defect in one of the key genes involved in HDL particle production or maturation (apoA-I, ABCA-1, LCAT). It is defined clinically as a HDL-cholesterol <1.0mmol/L in men and <1.3mmol/L in women. Patients with FPHA have a very low plasma concentration of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I)[3]. Prevalence of Apo A-I deficiency is unknown (so less than 1 per 1million people), and has been described in about 30 families [1].

Trial or other data

Dec 18: In the Phase III TANGO study, the primary endpoint (change from baseline after 24 wks vs. placebo on carotid Mean Vessel Wall Area (MVWA)) was not met [5].

Oct 17;According to a Cerenis Therapeutics results from PIII TANGO trial are expected at the end of Q1 2018 [4]

Sep 15: Cerenis Therapeutics initiates the PII/III TANGO trial to evaluate the efficacy, pharmacokinetics and safety of CER 001 8 mg/kg IV infusion to prevent or reduce atherosclerosis in patients with familial primary hypoalphalipoproteinemia (CER001CLIN009; EudraCT2015-003713-23). The primary endpoint is to determine the change from baseline after 24 weeks treatment with CER 001 on carotid Mean Vessel Wall Area (MVWA) using 3T-MRI. The 48-week, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled, randomised trial is recruiting 30 patients in the Netherlands and will extend to Brazil, Canada, Israel, Turkey and the US [2].
