Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of Ezetimibe, Simvastatin, and Vytorin on Reducing L5 a Subfraction of LDL in Patients With Metabolic Syndrome. (NCT NCT00988364)

NCT ID: NCT00988364

Last Updated: 2023-11-30

Results Overview

Patient's blood samples were collected before treatment. L5 were purified by ultracentrifugation then FPLC. Quantification analysis will indicate the L5 concentration (mg/dL) per group.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 0 months, at the start

Population: all participants assigned to Ezetimibe, Simvastatin, Vytorin and Placebo will receive the corresponding treatment according to the assigned group.

Patient's blood samples were collected before treatment. L5 were purified by ultracentrifugation then FPLC. Quantification analysis will indicate the L5 concentration (mg/dL) per group.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 months

Patient's blood samples were collected at the corresponding time point for L5 purification. L5 quantification and characterization were investigated with chemical analysis, proteomics and in-vitro cell signaling analysis. Final data analysis will determine total L5 concentration (mg/dL).
