Clinical Trial Summary

Coadministration of drugs is common in the pharmacologic treatment of dyslipidemia, with statins and ezetimibe generally constituting the medication of choice. By acting at different levels, the combination of these drugs allows the therapeutic objective to be achieved. However, it is not known how these drugs qualitatively affect the composition of lipoprotein subfractions, which differ in size and atherogenic potential. The investigators set out to evaluate this effect as well as their effects on inflammatory, oxidative stress and endothelial function parameters.


Clinical Trial Description

The study consisted of a randomised parallel trial and took place during a period of 2 months. A total of 42 hyperlipidemic patients were randomly assigned to one of 2 groups: one received simvastatin (40 mg/day) and the other received ezetimibe (10 mg/day) for 4 weeks, after which both groups were administered combined therapy for an additional 4-week period. Lipid profile, lipoprotein subfractions of LDL and HDL, inflammatory, oxidative stress and endothelial function parameters were evaluated. ;
