February 7, 2022 updated by: Organon and Co

A Phase III, Open-label, Clinical Trial to Assess the Long Term Safety and Tolerability of MK-0653H in Japanese Patients With Hypercholesterolemia Who Have Inadequate LDL-C Control on Ezetimibe or Rosuvastatin Monotherapy

The study will assess the safety and tolerability of Ezetimibe 10 mg+ Rosuvastatin 2.5 mg and Ezetimibe 10 mg+ Rosuvastatin 5.0 mg for up to 52 weeks in Japanese participants with hypercholesterolemia uncontrolled with monotherapy of Ezetimibe 10 mg or Rosuvastatin up to 5 mg.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Who Experience at Least 1 Adverse Event (AE)
Time Frame: Up to 2 weeks post last dose of study drug (up to 54 weeks)
An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, regardless of whether or not it was considered related to the medicinal product. The percentage of participants who reported at least 1 AE was summarized.
Up to 2 weeks post last dose of study drug (up to 54 weeks)
Percentage of Participants Who Had Study Drug Discontinued Due to an AE
Time Frame: up to 52 weeks
An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, regardless of whether or not it was considered related to the medicinal product. The percentage of participants who had study drug discontinued due to an AE was summarized.
up to 52 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage Change From Baseline in Low-Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (LDL-C)
Time Frame: Baseline (predose) and Week 52
Blood was collected at baseline (predose) and after 52 weeks of treatment to determine LDL-C levels. LDL-C was calculated using the Friedewald equation. If triglycerides (TG) exceeded 400 mg/dL (4.6 mmol/L), LDL-C was determined by beta quantification ultracentrifugation. The percentage change from baseline at Week 52 was summarized.
Baseline (predose) and Week 52
