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

Sponsor:	Pfizer
Information provided by:	Pfizer
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00136981

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 heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia

Condition	Intervention	Phase
Hypercholesterolemia, Familial 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 Maximally Tolerated Atorvastatin Therapy Alone, in Subjects With Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia.

Diagnosis of Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia
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)
