研究概览
简要总结
This study will evaluate the EZ/Ator fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet (MK-0653C) as second line Low-Density Lipoprotein - Cholesterol (LDL-C) treatment in Chinese participants. The primary hypothesis is that MK-0653C 10/10 mg is superior to atorvastatin 20 mg in percent change from baseline in LDL-C to 12 weeks after treatment.

排除标准
- •Has uncontrolled hypertriglyceridemia which needs drug intervention or a fasting triglyceride (TG) value ≥500 mg/dL (4.52 mmol/L).

- •Has endocrine or metabolic disease known to influence serum lipids or lipoproteins (i.e., secondary causes of hyperlipidemia, e.g., hyper or hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome).
- •Has had a gastrointestinal tract bypass, or other significant intestinal malabsorption.
- •Has a history of cancer within the past 5 years from Visit 1 (except for successfully treated dermatological basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma or in situ cervical cancer).
- •Is known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive.
- •Has hypersensitivity or intolerance to ezetimibe, atorvastatin, the ezetimibe/atorvastatin combination tablet, or any component of these medications or has a condition or situation, which is described as a contraindication in labeling of EZETROL or Lipitor or may interfere with participation in the study.
- •Has disorders of the hematologic, digestive, or central nervous systems including cerebrovascular disease and degenerative disease that would limit study evaluation or participation.
