Study of a combination pill for high cholesterol
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a single pill that combines two cholesterol-lowering medicines (pitavastatin and ezetimibe). It may be a good fit if you already take a statin or a statin plus ezetimibe and your doctor wants to adjust your treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently taking a statin or a statin plus ezetimibe (Zetia) for high cholesterol.
- Your doctor has decided you need to change your statin dose, switch to a different statin, or add ezetimibe.
- You are not already taking a combination pill of pitavastatin and ezetimibe.
- You have no known allergy to pitavastatin (Livalo) or ezetimibe (Zetia).

This study tests a cholesterol-lowering combination of three medicines: bempedoic acid, ezetimibe, and a statin (atorvastatin or rosuvastatin). It is for people with high cholesterol, especially those at high risk for heart problems, who need stronger treatment.
This trial tests a triple therapy pill (bempedoic acid, ezetimibe, and a high-intensity statin) in patients who have extensive plaque in their heart arteries but have never had a heart attack or stroke. It aims to see if this combination can further lower cholesterol and prevent future problems.
This study observes patients with high cholesterol or mixed lipid disorders who are taking bempedoic acid, alone or with ezetimibe, to see how it works in real life. It aims to gather information that may help doctors better manage cholesterol.
This trial tests a combination pill of two cholesterol-lowering medicines (pitavastatin and ezetimibe) in adults who have been taking either atorvastatin or rosuvastatin for at least 3 months. It aims to see if switching to this new combination is safe and effective.
This study watches how well a combination cholesterol medication (pitavastatin and ezetimibe) works in people who have high cholesterol and metabolic syndrome (a cluster of health issues including high blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol). You'll be monitored over time to see if the medication helps and is safe for you.
This trial compares two cholesterol-lowering treatment plans after a heart procedure where new drug-eluting stents were placed: a combination of high-intensity statin plus ezetimibe versus high-intensity statin alone. It may help find which option lowers cholesterol more effectively and safely over the first year after the procedure.
