Comparison of the Combination of Fenofibrate and Simvastatin Versus Atorvastatin - Full Text View

Sponsor:	Solvay Pharmaceuticals
Information provided by:	Solvay Pharmaceuticals
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00362934

Purpose

Mixed or combined hyperlipidemia is a common metabolic disorder characterized by both hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Statins and fibrates have complementary mechanisms and can be coadministered to patients with mixed hyperlipidemia. The overall objective of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of combining fenofibrate and simvastatin versus atorvastatin monotherapy in patients with mixed hyperlipidemia at risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Condition	Intervention	Phase
Hyperlipidemia	Drug: fenofibrate / simvastatin Drug: Atorvastatin	Phase III

Study Type:	Interventional
Study Design:	Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title:	A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized, Forced-Titration Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of the Combination of 145 mg Fenofibrate and 20 or 40 mg Simvastatin With Atorvastatin Monotherapy in Patients With Mixed Dyslipidemia at Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Not Adequately Controlled by 10 mg Atorvastatin Alone
