Carotid B-Mode Ultrasound Study to Compare Anti-Atherosclerotic Effect of Torcetrapib/Atorvastatin to Atorvastatin. - Full Text View

Sponsor:	Pfizer
Information provided by:	Pfizer
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00134238

Purpose

The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings.

To look at ultrasound images taken in the carotid arteries and to look at various lipids in the blood of people with mixed hyperlipidemia

Condition	Intervention	Phase
Mixed Hyperlipidemia	Drug: torcetrapib/atorvastatin Drug: atorvastatin	Phase III

Study Type:	Interventional
Study Design:	Treatment, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title:	Phase 3 Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Parallel Group, Carotid B-Mode Ultrasound Evaluation of the Anti-Atherosclerotic Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Fixed Combination CP-529,414/Atorvastatin, Administered Orally, Once Daily (QD) for 24 Months, Compared With Atorvastatin Alone, in Subjects With Mixed Hyperlipidemia

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Diagnosis of mixed hyperlipidemia
At least 18 years of age

Exclusion Criteria:

Women who are pregnant or lactating, or planning to become pregnant.
Subjects with a clinically indicated need for statin (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor) therapy other than atorvastatin or other concomitant therapy with known lipid altering effects on LDL-C and HDL-C including fibrates and nicotinic acid (high doses)
Subjects taking any drugs known to be associated with an increased risk of myositis in combination with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors
Subjects with any other medical condition or laboratory abnormality which could affect subject safety, preclude evaluationof response, or render unlikely that the subject would complete the study
