Extrait

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the LDL-C lowering efficacy of rosuvastatin 10 mg and 20 mg in combination with ezetimibe relative to that of simvastatin in a fixed dose combination with ezetimibe. This objective has 3 specific components: 1. Percentage change from baseline in LDL-C for rosuvastatin 20mg in combination with ezetimibe 10mg vs simvastatin 40mg in combination with ezetimibe 10mg after 6 weeks combination therapy (mean value of 4 and 6 weeks of combination therapy will be used) 2. Percentage change from baseline in LDL-C for rosuvastatin 10mg in combination with ezetimibe 10mg vs simvastatin 40mg in combination with ezetimibe 10mg after 6 weeks combination therapy (mean value of 4 and 6 weeks of combination therapy will be used) 3. Percentage change from baseline in LDL-C for rosuvastatin 20mg in combination with ezetimibe 10mg vs simvastatin 80mg in combination with ezetimibe 10mg after 6 weeks combination therapy


Critère d'inclusion

  • Dyslipidemia - Expert groups have identified low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) as the primary target for cholesterol lowering therapy because it is strongly associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) risk but, more importantly, clinical studies document that lowering LDL-C reduces the risk for major CHD events (Expert Panel NCEP ATP III 2001: De Backer et al 2003; American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology (ACC): Smith et al 2006)
