A Long-term Safety and Tolerability Study of Ezetimibe Plus Atorvastatin in Participants With Coronary Heart Disease, Multiple Risk Factors, or Hypercholesterolemia Not Controlled by Atorvastatin (P01418/MK-0653-032)

February 7, 2022 updated by: Organon and Co

Long-Term, Open-Label, Safety and Tolerability Study of Ezetimibe (SCH 58235) in Addition to Atorvastatin in Subjects With Coronary Heart Disease or Multiple Risk Factors and With Primary Hypercholesterolemia Not Controlled by a Starting Dose (10 mg) of Atorvastatin

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ezetimibe 10 mg once daily co-administered with atorvastatin 10 to 80 mg daily for up to 12 consecutive months in participants with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) or in participants with coronary heart disease (CHD) or multiple cardiovascular risk factors and primary hypercholesterolemia not controlled by a starting dose (10 mg daily) of atorvastatin.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Adult participants with a diagnosis of HeFH or CHD or multiple risk factors (≥2) and with primary hypercholesterolemia who had successfully completed the 14-week, double-blind efficacy and safety study of ezetimibe co-administered with atorvastatin (Protocol No. P00693/MK-0653-030; NCT03867318) were eligible for enrollment in this long-term extension study.

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

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants who have successfully completed the 14-week double-blind, efficacy and safety study of SCH 58235 in addition to atorvastatin in participants with CHD or multiple risk factors or HeFH, (Protocol P00693/MK-0653-030; NCT03867318).

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
Time Frame
Number of participants who experienced an adverse event
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Up to 12 months
Number of participants who discontinued study drug due to an adverse event
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Up to 12 months

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
Time Frame
Percentage of participants achieving target LDL-C level (≤100 mg/dL)
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Up to 12 months
Change from baseline in LDL-C levels

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures.
