Efficacy and Safety of EzetimiBe/Rosuvastatin in Diabetic Dislipidemia With Hypertriglyceridaemia (REMBRANDT)

August 10, 2025 updated by: Soo Heon Kwak, Seoul National University Hospital

A Multi-center, Randomized, Open-label, Active-controlled, Phase IV Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of EzetimiBe/Rosuvastatin Diabetic Dislipidemia With Hypertriglyceridaemia

To compare and evaluate the effects of LDL-C and Triglyceride (TG) control on the first dose Ezetimibe/Statin (Rosuvastatin 5 mg/Ezetimibe 10 mg) combination therapy compared to the average dose Statin (Rosuvastatin 10 mg) monotherapy in patients with Type 2 diabetes with hypertriglyceridemia (TG > 200 mg/dL).
