Trial Outcomes & Findings for Adding Ezetimibe Tablet to Ongoing Treatment With Atorvastatin in Subjects With High Cholesterol and Multiple Coronary Heart Disease Risk Factors (Study P04060)(COMPLETED) (NCT NCT00319449)

NCT ID: NCT00319449

Last Updated: 2022-02-09

Results Overview

12-hour fasting blood samples were collected in participants to measure high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides and total cholesterol. LDL-C was measured using Friedewald calculation (LDL-C = Total C - \[HDL-C + TG/5\]) before and after treatment.
