Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Hyperlipidemia Combined

Intervention: Combination of 145 mg fenofibrate and 10 mg ezetimibe (Drug)

Phase: Phase 3

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Solvay Pharmaceuticals

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Global Clinical Director Solvay, Study Director, Affiliation: Solvay Pharmaceuticals

Summary

Type IIb dyslipidemia is characterized by elevated triglycerides (TG ³ 150 mg/dL), and elevated LDL-C levels (³160 mg/dL). When in addition, HDL-C is low, the presence of the lipid triad, elevated TG and LDL-C and low levels of HDL-C, seems to confer additional CHD risk in this type of patient, compared to elevated LDL-C alone. Coadministration of fenofibrate and ezetimibe could provide a complementary efficacy therapy and improve the atherogenic profile of this patient population.
