研究概览

简要总结

To determine whether the combination of ezetimibe and simvastatin improves biomarkers of atherothrombosis compared to simvastatin alone in patients with the metabolic syndrome.

详细描述

  1. To assess the ex vivo effects of ezetimibe/simvastatin (E/S) (Vytorin 10/40mg) and simvastatin (S) (Zocor 40mg) on platelet and inflammation biomarkers in patients with documented metabolic syndrome.
  2. To compare platelet-related effects including PAR-1 receptor inhibition of E/S with those of the established anti-platelet agents including aspirin, clopidogrel, intravenous and oral glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors.
  3. To determine whether the addition of ezetimibe will yield extra protection beyond lipid modulation in the reduction of inflammation and platelet activation.

入选标准

  • Men and women greater than or equal to 21 years of age
  • Diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. We defined the presence of metabolic syndrome based on the US National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel III guidelines. Specifically, metabolic syndrome will be diagnosed and documented when 3 of the following 5 characteristics will be present:
  • abdominal obesity, given as waist circumference for men > 102 cm, and for women > 88 cm
  • triglycerides > 150 mg/dL
  • HDL cholesterol < 40 mg/dL for men, and < 50 mg/dL for women
  • blood pressure > 130/85 mm Hg
  • fasting glucose > 100 mg/dL

排除标准

  • Patients will be excluded for a history of bleeding diathesis
  • drug or alcohol abuse
  • prothrombin time greater than 1.5 times control
  • platelet count < 100,000/mm3
  • hematocrit < 25%
  • creatinine > 4.0 mg/dl
  • surgery or angioplasty performed within 3 months or planned for the future
  • history of gastrointestinal or other bleeding
  • history of drug-induced disorders
  • trauma, cancer, rheumatic diseases, coronary artery disease or stroke
  • Patients participating in other investigational drug trials within one month of completion will be also excluded
  • Patients treated with intravenous platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors or thienopyridines, within past 6 months
  • Patients treated with statins or aspirin within past four weeks
