Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effectiveness and Safety Study of Early add-on of Ezetimibe With Atorvastatin in Very High-risk Patients (NCT NCT05761444)

NCT ID: NCT05761444

Last Updated: 2025-09-09

Results Overview

Blood samples were collected to determine the LDL-C values. The percentage change from baseline was defined as 100 x (LDL-C value at 6 weeks - LDL-C value at baseline)/LDL-C value at baseline. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measurement taken prior to reference start date.

Participant Flow

This Phase 4, open-label, active-controlled study was conducted in very high-risk dyslipidemia participants at 8 centers in South Korea between 26 July 2023 and 15 October 2024.

The study consisted of a screening period (1 week), an treatment period (12 weeks), and an end-of-study assessment (at Week 12). A total of 137 participants were randomized and enrolled in the study.

Measure
Ezetimibe/Atorvastatin
Participants received ezetimibe/atorvastatin 10/40 milligram (mg) tablet orally once a day (QD) from Day 1 to Week 6. If the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target was reached \<55 mg/deciliter (dL) at Week 6, the dose was maintained up to Week 12. If the LDL-C target was not reached at Week 6, dose was increased to ezetimibe/atorvastatin 10/80 mg QD from Week 6 to Week 12.
Atorvastatin
Participants received atorvastatin 40 mg tablet orally QD from Day 1 to Week 6. If the LDL-C target was reached \<55 mg/dL at Week 6, the dose was maintained up to Week 12. If the LDL-C target was not reached at Week 6, dose was increased to atorvastatin 80 mg QD from Week 6 to Week 12.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 6

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study treatment and had a baseline assessment of LDL-C and at least 1 valid post baseline measurement of LDL-C.

Blood samples were collected to determine the LDL-C values. The percentage change from baseline was defined as 100 x (LDL-C value at 6 weeks - LDL-C value at baseline)/LDL-C value at baseline. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measurement taken prior to reference start date.

Population: The SAS included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study treatment.

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with that product. An SAE was defined as any AE that at any dose resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was an important medical event. A TEAE was defined as AEs that first occurred or worsened in severity on or after the first administration of the study treatment during the treatment period.
