Lipid-altering efficacy of ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/20 mg compared with rosuvastatin 10 mg in high-risk hypercholesterolaemic patients inadequately controlled with prior statin monotherapy - The IN-CROSS study

Original language description

To evaluate the efficacy of switching from a previous statin monotherapy to ezetimibe/simvastatin (EZE/SIMVA) 10/20 mg vs. rosuvastatin (ROSUVA) 10 mg. In this randomised, double-blind study, 618 patients with documented hypercholesterolaemia (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol /LDL-C/ >=2.59 and <=4.92 mmol/l) and with high cardiovascular risk who ware taking a stable daily dose of one of several statin medications for >=6 weeks prior to the study randomisation visit entered a 6-week open-label stabilisation/screening period during which they continued to receive their prestudy statin dose. Following stratification by study site and statin dose/porency, patients were randomise do EZE/SIMVA 10/20 mg (n=314 or ROSUVA 10 mg (n=304) for 6 weeks. Conclusion: EZE/SIMVA 10/20 mg produced greater improvements in LDL-C, total cholesterol, non-HDL-C and apoB with a similar safety profile as for ROSUVA 10 mg.
