April 23, 2013 updated by: Ferrer Internacional S.A.

Cardiovascular Fixed Combination Pill ASR: Pharmacodynamic Clinical Trial of a Fixed Dose Combination of Acetylsalicylic Acid, Simvastatin, and Ramipril (Cardiovascular Polypill); LDL Cholesterol

This study evaluates the effect on LDL cholesterol of the 3 drugs given together in the cardiovascular fixed dose combination pill (acetylsalicylic acid, simvastatin, and ramipril) as compared to the effect on LDL cholesterol of the reference products (simvastatin, ramipril, acetylsalicylic acid) Approximately 350 subjects will be screened, 266 randomized in order about 238 subjects to finish the study.
