Measure
Niacin
(Part 1): Niacin titrated to 2000 mg taken orally once daily for 24 weeks. During the first 12 weeks of the study, patients randomized to the niacin containing arms started taking niacin 500 mg and had their niacin dose increased 500 mg every 4 weeks to 2000 mg. Patients in this treatment group were ramdomly reassigned for Part 2 of the study to one of two treatment groups- two-thirds of the patients enrolled in the niacin treatment group were randomly assigned to receive ezetimibe/simvastatin + niacin (ER) and the other one-third were randomly assigned to receive ezetimibe/simvastatin alone.
Ezetimibe/Simvastatin
(Part 1): Ezetimibe/Simvastatin 10/20 mg taken orally once daily for 24 weeks. (Part 2): Ezetimibe/Simvastatin 10/20 mg taken orally once daily for 40 additional weeks for a total of 64 weeks.
Ezetimibe/Simvastatin + Niacin
(Part 1): Ezetimibe/Simvastatin 10/20 mg + Niacin (titrated to 2000 mg as noted above) taken orally once daily for 24 weeks. (Part 2): Ezetimibe/Simvastatin 10/20 mg + Niacin 2000 mg taken orally once daily for 40 additional weeks for a total of 64 weeks.
