Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference in the effect of coronary plaque regression (as measured by intravascular ultrasound \[IVUS\] imaging) between cholesterol absorption inhibitor and cholesterol synthesis inhibitor.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

LZ group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Combination therapy with Lipitor [Atorvastatin] and Zetia [Ezetimibe]

Intervention Type DRUG

Zetia 10 mg/dl + Lipitor. The dosage of Lipitor will be titrated up to a maximum of 20 mg/day with a treatment goal of lowering LDL-C below 70 mg/dl.

L group

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Lipitor (Atorvastatin) monotherapy

Intervention Type DRUG

The dosage will be titrated up to a maximum of 20 mg/day, which is the highest approved regimen by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan, with a treatment goal of lowering LDL-C below 70 mg/dl.
