What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Low Density Lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) at Baseline and After 6 Weeks of Treatment With Ezetimibe 10 mg Added to Atorvastatin 10 mg Versus Placebo Added to Atorvastatin 10 mg

    12-hour fasting blood samples were collected in participants to measure high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides and total cholesterol. LDL-C was measured using Friedewald calculation (LDL-C = Total C - [HDL-C + TG/5]) before and after treatment.

    Measured: Baseline and 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants Who Achieve the Target LDL-C Concentration of < 3.3 mmol/L (130 mg/dL)

    12-hour fasting blood samples were collected in participants to measure high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides and total cholesterol. LDL-C was measured using Friedewald calculation (LDL-C = Total C - [HDL-C + TG/5] after treatment for 6 weeks.

    Measured: 6 weeks post treatment

  2. High Density Lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), Total Cholesterol and Triglycerides at Baseline and After 6 Weeks of Treatment With Ezetimibe 10 mg Added to Atorvastatin 10 mg Versus Placebo Added to Atorvastatin 10 mg

    12-hour fasting blood samples were collected in participants and the high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides and total cholesterol was measured with the basic lipid panel test.

    Measured: 6 weeks post treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ezetimibe and Atorvastatin 10 mg in people with Hypercholesterolemia and Coronary Arteriosclerosis, run by Organon and Co.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 May 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Low Density Lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) at Baseline and After 6 Weeks of Treatment With Ezetimibe 10 mg Added to Atorvastatin 10 mg Versus Placebo Added to Atorvastatin 10 mg (time frame: Baseline and 6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Feb 2022.
