What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events and Adverse Reactions

    An adverse event is any unfavorable medical event occurring in a subject to whom an investigational product is administered, and a causal relationship between the administered investigational product and an adverse event is not always clarified.

    That is, an adverse event is any unfavorable or unintended sign (including an abnormal change in laboratory test values), symptom, or disease, and a causal relationship to the relevant investigational product is not considered.

    Any adverse event that was considered treatment-related was considered an adverse reaction.

    Measured: Throughout 1 year of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ezetimibe and atorvastatin in people with Hypercholesterolemia, 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 5 inclusion and 18 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 21 May 2024. 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. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 5 Oct 2010). 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?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events and Adverse Reactions (time frame: Throughout 1 year of study). 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 21 May 2024.
