<textblock>
This is a randomized, active-control, double-blind study of subjects with stabilized high-risk acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The primary objective is to evaluate the clinical benefit of Ezetimibe/Simvastatin Combination 10/40 (single tablet, under the brand VYTORIN in the United States) compared with Simvastatin 40 mg. Clinical benefit will be defined as the reduction in the risk of the occurrence of the composite endpoint of CV death, major coronary events, and stroke.
