A Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled, Multicenter Study of Patients With Primary Hypercholesterolemia and High Cardiovascular Risk Who Are Not Adequately Controlled With Atorvastatin 10 mg: A Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of Switching to Coadministration Ezetimibe and Atorvastatin Versus Doubling the Dose of Atorvastatin or Switching to Rosuvastatin
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating ezetimibe 10 mg, atorvastatin, and 1 other intervention for Hypercholesterolemia. Completed, enrolled 1,547 participants.
Detailed Summary
This study will compare the lipid-altering efficacy and safety of switching to co-administration of ezetimibe and atorvastatin versus treatment with atorvastatin or rosuvastatin in high cardiovascular risk patients with hypercholesterolemia who have not achieved specified low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. The primary hypothesis is that the co-administration of ezetimibe 10 mg and atorvastatin 10 mg will be superior to both atorvastatin 20 mg and rosuvastatin 10 mg with respect to the percentage reduction in low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) after 6 weeks of treatment.
