About this study

Official title: A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Active-controlled, Phase III Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Ezetimibe/Rosuvastatin and Amlodipine Combination Therapy in Essential Hypertension Patients With Primary Hypercholesterolemia

The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether one pill that combines ezetimibe, rosuvastatin, and amlodipine can safely lower cholesterol and blood pressure in Korean adults with high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Read the detailed description

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker used for the treatment of hypertension. Rosuvastatin is a statin that inhibits HMG-CoA reductase and is widely used for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Ezetimibe is a lipid-lowering agent that inhibits intestinal cholesterol absorption and is commonly used in combination with statins.

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, phase 3 clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose combination of ezetimibe, rosuvastatin, and amlodipine in Korean adults with essential hypertension and primary hypercholesterolemia. Following a run-in period that includes therapeutic lifestyle modification, participants are randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive ezetimibe/rosuvastatin/amlodipine 10/20/10 mg or amlodipine 10 mg, or ezetimibe/rosuvastatin 10/20 mg for 8 weeks.

A total of 163 participants were enrolled across 21 study sites. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and mean sitting systolic blood pressure (MSSBP) are assessed at Weeks 4 and 8. The primary efficacy endpoints are the percent change in LDL-C from baseline at Week 8 and the change in MSSBP from baseline at Week 8. Secondary endpoints include changes in total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides, non-HDL-C, and apolipoprotein B (ApoB).

    Proportion of participants who achieved target blood pressure at Weeks 4 and 8 in the treatment group, control group 1, and control group 2. Target blood pressure is defined as MSSBP/MSDBP <140/90 mmHg. For participants with high-risk diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease with diabetes mellitus or albuminuria, concomitant cardiovascular disease, or high-risk hypertension, target blood pressure is defined as MSSBP/MSDBP <130/80 mmHg.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Amlodipine and Ezetimibe/Rosuvastatin in people with Hypertension and Hypercholesterolemia, run by Celltrion Pharm, Inc. at 21 sites 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 0 inclusion and 21 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 8 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites 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 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?

Percent Change From Baseline in Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) at Week 8 in Treatment Group and Control Group 1 (time frame: Baseline, Week 8). 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 8 May 2026.
