Trial Outcomes & Findings for Coadministration of Ezetimibe and Atorvastatin in Patients With Primary Hypercholesterolemia (P05456) (NCT NCT00654095)

NCT ID: NCT00654095

Last Updated: 2024-05-21

Results Overview

An adverse event is any unfavorable medical event occurring in a subject to whom an investigational product is administered, and a causal relationship between the administered investigational product and an adverse event is not always clarified. That is, an adverse event is any unfavorable or unintended sign (including an abnormal change in laboratory test values), symptom, or disease, and a causal relationship to the relevant investigational product is not considered. Any adverse event that was considered treatment-related was considered an adverse reaction.
