What is the dal-GenE-2 trial?
dal-GenE-2 is a clinical study to confirm the effect of dalcetrapib (the study drug) on reducing the risk of having a major cardiovascular event (fatal and non-fatal heart attack) in a population with a specific gene variant (AA genotype at variant rs 1967309 in the ADCY9 gene).
Who can take part?
- Anyone who is aged 45 years or older
- Lives in North America (United States or Canada)
- Has been in hospital for an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) - e.g., a heart attack - within the past 3 months
- Is medically stable on current treatment for this recent ACS
The dal-GenE-2 study is also known as the dal-302 clinical trial
Dalcetrapib is an investigational new drug (not approved yet by the regulatory health authorities) that has been tested in different large studies and demonstrated that it was well tolerated and had a potential benefit to reduce risk of major cardiovascular events (fatal and non-fatal heart attacks) in a population with a specific gene variant.
