About this study

Official title: A Single Center, Open Label, Randomized Study to Compare the Effect of Vytorin (Simvastatin/Ezetimibe) 10/20mg Versus Atorvastatin 20mg on ApoB/ApoA1 Ratio in Subjects With Diabetes

A single center, open label, randomized, clinical trial comparing ApoB/ApoA ratio of Vytorin 10/20mg vs atorvastatin 20mg treatment.

DM2 patients will be screened for inclusion criteria. Patients (n=66 in each arm) will be randomized to either Ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/20mg or atorvastatin 20mg after 4 week washout or TLC period. Primary and secondary endpoints will be assessed at week 12.

Primary endpoint:

  1. change of ApoB/ApoA ratio at week 12.

Secondary endpoint:

  1. Change of lipid parameters (TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, TG, apoB 48) at week 12.
  2. Change of HbA1C at week 12.
  3. Change of HOMA index at week 12
  • HOMA =[Fasting insulin (mIU/L) × Fasting glucose (mmol/L)] / 22.5
  1. Change of hsCRP at week 12
  2. Safety assessment

Hypotheses:

  • Three months treatment of Vytorin 10/20mg will be superior to atorvastatin 20mg in ApoB/ApoA ratio.
  • In DM patients, Ezetimibe/Simvastatin Combination will be well-tolerated.
Being tested
simvastatin/ezetimibe, atorvastatin 20mg

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing simvastatin/ezetimibe and atorvastatin 20mg in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Without Insulin Treatment, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Aug 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Hyun-Jae Kang (82-2-2072-2279, nowkang@snu.ac.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change of ApoB/ApoA1 (time frame: after 12 weeks' treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01185236, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Aug 2010.
