What is being measured

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

  1. A primary endpoint is the incidence of adverse events.

    Measured: Adverse events will be monitored throughout the 52-week period. (Subjects who discontinue Zetia treatment during the 52-week period will be investigated up to the time of therapy discontinuation.)

  2. A primary endpoint is change in LDL-C

    Measured: LDL-C at start of 52 weeks will be compared to LDL-C at the end of the 52-week period. (Subjects who discontinue Zetia treatment during the 52-week period will be investigated up to the time of therapy discontinuation.)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypercholesterolemia and Familial 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 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

A primary endpoint is the incidence of adverse events. (time frame: Adverse events will be monitored throughout the 52-week period. (Subjects who discontinue Zetia treatment during the 52-week period will be investigated up to the time of therapy discontinuation.)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 Feb 2022.
