Effects of Pitavastatin on Monocyte, Endothelial Dysfunction and HDL-C in Subjects With Metabolic Syndrome (CAPITAIN)

July 19, 2013 updated by: Kowa Research Europe

An Open Label Study of the Chronic and Acute Effects of Pitavastatin on Monocyte Phenotype, Endothelial Dysfunction and HDL Atheroprotective Function in Subjects With Metabolic Syndrome (CAPITAIN)

The purpose of this study is to examine in detail the acute and chronic effects of pitavastatin on plasma lipid transport and atheroma biomarkers in patients at elevated risk for the premature development of atherosclerosis (CAPITAIN).
