Ezetimibe

Summary: Familial hypercholesterolemia is the most common treatable genetic disorder for which a simple, effective treatment is available, with few side effects. It leads to a significant increase in LDL levels, generally in excess of 1.9g/l, including in children. It is much higher than the values usually found in secondary or polygenic hypercholesterolemia. This condition multiplies the cardiovascular ri...

Summary: Data on the real-world use and effectiveness and safety of bempedoic acid combined with both a statin and ezetimibe in clinical practice is limited. There is an increased focus on using combination therapy to lower LDL-C.

Summary: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. Although primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has significantly improved short-term outcomes, these patients remain at high risk of recurrent cardiovascular events due to vulnerable non-culprit plaques. Coronary imaging techniques such a...

Summary: This study sought to evaluate whether ezetimibe combination to high-intensity statin therapy will have more prominent beneficial effect compared to high-intensity statin monotherapy in patients who underwent coronary revascularization with newer generation drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. Furthermore, the optimal OCT-based optimal expansion criteria as well as the efficacy and safety of newe...

Summary: This study will be conducted at six medical institutions in Taiwan, recruiting patients who visit neurology outpatient clinics or are hospitalized within 30 days after an ischemic stroke. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group (moderate-intensity statin plus ezetimibe) or the control group (moderate- or high-intensity statin). Research assistants will screen patien...

Summary: This is a prospective, interventional, cohort study, meaning that researchers will follow and observe a group of enrolled study participants over a period of time (one to two months) to gather information and record any developments of the outcomes in question. This study will recruit 125 participants with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) to: 1. Analyze the effect of reducing the cholesterol levels in the bl...

Summary: This is a multicenter, open-label, parallel-group, randomized trial to determine if intensive lipid-lowering therapy (goal for LDL-C \<1.0 mmol/L and ≥50% reduction frome baseline) could delay progression of coronary atherosclerotic obstructive leisions compared with guideline recommended lipid-lowering therapy (goal for LDL-C \<1.8 mmol/L and ≥50% reduction frome baseline) among participants betw...

Summary: This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trial aimed at comparing the effects of moderate-intensity statin plus ezetimibe combination therapy versus high-intensity statin monotherapy on coronary plaque stabilization. Using advanced imaging techniques such as near-infrared spectroscopy-intravascular ultrasound (NIRS-IVUS), the trial evaluates whether the combination therapy is ...

Summary: A Multicenter, randomized trial comparing the efficacy and safety of intensive lipid-lowering therapy using a statin-ezetimibe combination without aspirin versus statin monotherapy with aspirin in asymptomatic patients with coronary artery calcification

Summary: This study has the purpose to answer how the Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) level is distributed among Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) patients in Russia, and what is the connection between elevated levels of this parameter and the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.

Summary: Combination therapy of rosuvastatin 5mg and ezetimibe 10 mg showed similar achievement rate in decreasing LDL cholesterol level by 50% as single use of rosuvastatin 20 mg. This trial aims to prove non-inferiority of concomitant usage of low dose rosuvastatin and ezetimibe among patients with acute myocardial infarction who went through percutaneous coronary intervention at decreasing major adverse...

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose combination of atorvastatin (10 mg) and ezetimibe (10 mg) compared to atorvastatin (20 mg) monotherapy in the Bangladeshi population. Researchers will compare atorvastatin (10 mg) and ezetimibe (10 mg) to atorvastatin (20 mg) monotherapy to see if atorvastatin (10 mg) and ezetimibe (10 mg) FDC works to treat dys...
