A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Ezetimibe/Atorvastatin 10 mg/20 mg Combination Tablet Compared to Marketed Ezetimibe 10 mg and Atorvastatin 20 mg Tablets in Participants With High Cholesterol (MK-0653C-185 AM1)
February 7, 2022 updated by: Organon and Co
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled, Multicenter, Crossover Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Ezetimibe/Atorvastatin 10 mg/20 mg Fixed-Dose Combination Tablet Compared to Co-administration of Marketed Ezetimibe 10 mg and Atorvastatin 20 mg in Patients With Primary Hypercholesterolemia
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ezetimibe/atorvastatin 10 mg/20 mg combination tablet is equivalent to the coadministration of ezetimibe 10 mg and atorvastatin 20 mg in lowering low-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) after 6 weeks of treatment.

- Female of reproductive potential agrees to remain abstinent or to use (or have their partner use) 2 acceptable methods of birth control throughout the study.
- Female receiving non-cyclical hormone therapy, if maintained on a stable dose and regimen for at least 8 weeks prior to the study and if willing to continue the same regimen throughout the study.
- Off-therapy LDL-C levels are: for low risk patients, ≥130 mg/dL and ≤300 mg/dL; for moderate risk patients, ≥100 mg/dL and ≤300 mg/dL; for moderately high risk patients, ≥100 mg/dL and ≤275 mg/dL.
