Estimated Enrollment: 100
Study Start Date: November 2009
Estimated Study Completion Date: September 2010
Estimated Primary Completion Date: September 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Placebo Comparator: ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/20 mg + placebo
The intervention consisted of an isocaloric diet, an exercise program (30 min/day of aerobic activity) and ezetimibe (+) simvastatin 10/20 mg + placebo for 12 weeks. Safety and efficacy parameters are measured at baseline and 12 weeks later
 Drug: ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/20 mg + placebo
Patients will receive placebo (sugar tablets) for up to 22 weeks.
Other Name: No other drug is used per protocol in this study arm
Active Comparator: ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/20 mg + MK0524A
The intervention consisted of an isocaloric diet, an exercise program (30 min/day of aerobic activity) and ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/20 mg + MK0524A 1 gr for 6 weeks, if efficacy achieved will continue with ezetimibe (+) simvastatin 10/20 mg + MK0524A 1 gr + placebo; if not achieved, will receive ezetimibe (+) simvastatin 10/20 mg + MK0524A 2 gr for 6 weeks.
 Drug: ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/20 mg + MK0524A
ezetimibe (+) simvastatin 10/20 mg for 18 weeks. Tablets
Other Names:
  • Vytorin
  • MK0653A

Detailed Description:

Patients will receive placebo for 4 weeks, then Vytorin 10/20 mg for 6 weeks, if efficacy of treatment is achieved, they will continue with Vytorin 10/20 mg + placebo for 12 more weeks, if not achieved, will receive Vytorin 10/20 mg + MK0524A 1 gr for 6 weeks, if efficacy achieved will continue with Vytorin 10/20 mg + MK0524A 1 gr + placebo; if not achieved, will receive Vytorin 10/20 mg + MK0524A 2 gr for 6 weeks.
