What is the CLEAR Serenity Study?
The CLEAR Serenity Study will include approximately 300 people in the United States who have high cholesterol and cannot take cholesterol-lowering medications (called statins) due to side effects. The study will see whether an investigational medication may help to lower cholesterol when patients add it to their current cholesterol medications. The study will also look at how safe the investigational medication is for patient use.
Can I take part in the study?
You may be able to take part in the CLEAR Serenity Study if you:
· are at least 18 years of age (or the age considered an adult in your country, whichever is older)
· have high cholesterol
· require cholesterol-reducing therapy to prevent cardiovascular events
· are unable to take (or can only take very low doses of) statin medications due to side effects.
At the first study visit, the study team will check whether the study is right for you.
What will the CLEAR Serenity Study involve?
The CLEAR Serenity Study will last for 29 weeks.
During the study you will need to visit the study center seven times and will receive 1 telephone call from the study team.
Before you begin taking the study medication, the study team will do some checks and tests to make sure that the CLEAR Serenity Study is right for you.
If the study is right for you, you will be given a supply of the study medication to take home with you.
The study team will let you know when you need to return to the study center for more checks of your health.
