About this study

Official title: Long-Term, Open-Label, Safety and Tolerability Study of Ezetimibe (SCH 58235) in Addition to Atorvastatin in Subjects With Coronary Heart Disease or Multiple Risk Factors and With Primary Hypercholesterolemia Not Controlled by a Starting Dose (10 mg) of Atorvastatin

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ezetimibe 10 mg once daily co-administered with atorvastatin 10 to 80 mg daily for up to 12 consecutive months in participants with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) or in participants with coronary heart disease (CHD) or multiple cardiovascular risk factors and primary hypercholesterolemia not controlled by a starting dose (10 mg daily) of atorvastatin.

Read the detailed description

Adult participants with a diagnosis of HeFH or CHD or multiple risk factors (≥2) and with primary hypercholesterolemia who had successfully completed the 14-week, double-blind efficacy and safety study of ezetimibe co-administered with atorvastatin (Protocol No. P00693/MK-0653-030; NCT03867318) were eligible for enrollment in this long-term extension study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EzetimibeDrug

    Also called Zetia®, SCH 058235, MK-0653

    Ezetimibe 10 mg daily in the morning

  • AtorvastatinDrug

    Also called Lipitor®, SCH 412387, MK-9396

    Atorvastatin 10 mg daily in the morning. Atorvastatin dose could be titrated up (by doubling the dose up to a maximum of 80 mg daily) to achieve the target low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level of 100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L) after a minimum of 4 weeks of treatment.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 17 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.

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?

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?

Number of participants who experienced an adverse event (time frame: Up to 12 months). 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 17 Feb 2022.
