Ezetimibe Plus Simvastatin Versus Simvastatin in Patients With Hypercholesterolemia and Coronary Risk Factors (P03405)(TERMINATED)

This study has been terminated.

  Purpose

The study was designed to assess whether 6 weeks of co-administration of ezetimibe and simvastatin is more effective than simvastatin monotherapy in allowing patients in the CHD risk strata of the NCEP III guidelines to achieve their LDL-C target goal of <=3.0 mmol/L. As this study was to be conducted in Canada, the target LDL-C goal for patients with CHD, or type II diabetic patients >30 years old with no CHD, was <2.5 mmol/L.

Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Ezetimibe 10 mg or Placebo Co-Administered With Existing Simvastatin 10mg or 20mg in Attaining Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Target Levels in Patients With Hypercholesterolemia and Coronary Heart Disease and/or Type II Diabetes

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Percentage of patients reaching LDL-C goal of < 2.5 mmol/L (97 mg/dL) at endpoint. [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Percent change from baseline to endpoint in LDL-C. [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Percent change from baseline to endpoint in total cholesterol (TC) triglycerides, HDL-C, non-HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C ratio, TC/HDL-C ratio, and apolipoprotein B. [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Safety/tolerability: adverse events, laboratory test results, vital signs. [ Time Frame: Throughout study ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
