May 8, 2024 updated by: Organon and Co

A Phase III, Open-label, Clinical Trial to Assess the Long Term Safety and Tolerability of MK-0653H in Japanese Patients With Hypercholesterolemia Who Have Inadequate LDL-C Control on Ezetimibe or Rosuvastatin Monotherapy

The study will assess the safety and tolerability of Ezetimibe 10 mg+ Rosuvastatin 2.5 mg and Ezetimibe 10 mg+ Rosuvastatin 5.0 mg for up to 52 weeks in Japanese participants with hypercholesterolemia uncontrolled with monotherapy of Ezetimibe 10 mg or Rosuvastatin up to 5 mg.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Who Experience at Least 1 Adverse Event (AE)
Time Frame: Up to 2 weeks post last dose of study drug (up to 54 weeks)
An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, regardless of whether or not it was considered related to the medicinal product. The percentage of participants who reported at least 1 AE was summarized.
Up to 2 weeks post last dose of study drug (up to 54 weeks)
Percentage of Participants Who Had Study Drug Discontinued Due to an AE
Time Frame: up to 52 weeks
An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, regardless of whether or not it was considered related to the medicinal product. The percentage of participants who had study drug discontinued due to an AE was summarized.
up to 52 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage Change From Baseline in Low-Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (LDL-C)
Time Frame: Baseline (predose) and Week 52
Blood was collected at baseline (predose) and after 52 weeks of treatment to determine LDL-C levels. LDL-C was calculated using the Friedewald equation. If triglycerides (TG) exceeded 400 mg/dL (4.6 mmol/L), LDL-C was determined by beta quantification ultracentrifugation. The percentage change from baseline at Week 52 was summarized.
