Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHypercholesterolaemia and CHD
InterventionDouble-blind study involving 6 weeks treatment with a once daily dose of simvastatin (20 mg) plus either ezetimibe (10 mg) or matching ezetimibe placebo. Blood samples will be collected prior to treatment to use as a baseline and at the end of the 6 week treatment period to determine the effect of the treatments on the lipid profiles. These pre and post treatment blood samples will also be analysed for haematology and clinical chemistry parameters for safety assessment purposes. The objective of the study is to compare the post treatment lipid results (primarily LDL-C) with the baseline values between the two treatment groups. In addition, the usual safety assessments (i.e. adverse events) and details of concomitant medications etc. will be collected during the study.
