Ezetimibe Reverse Cholesterol Transport (RCT) Pilot Study
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating ezetimibe and Placebo for Hypercholesterolemia. Completed, enrolled 31 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a prospective, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial comparing the the effects of approximately 7 weeks of placebo treatment to 7 weeks of ezetimibe (10mg/day) treatment on several parameters of reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) in men and post-menopausal women diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia. The primary hypothesis is that the ezetimibe treatment will increase the excretion of endogenous (plasma-derived) cholesterol as fecal sterols, with secondary hypotheses that there will be a significant increase in de novo cholesterol synthesis, treatment will increase cholesterol efflux from tissues into the bloodstream, and increase global RCT.
