Study of two experimental drugs for high blood pressure and cholesterol
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking two experimental drugs together can safely lower both high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It may be an option if you have both conditions and your blood pressure is not extremely high.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years of age or older.
- You have been diagnosed with high blood pressure (essential hypertension).
- You have been diagnosed with high cholesterol (primary hypercholesterolemia).
- Your blood pressure readings in both arms are not too different from each other (less than 20 points difference for the top number and less than 10 points for the bottom number).
- Your average blood pressure is not extremely high (top number below 180 and bottom number below 110).

This study tests whether adding two medications together helps people who have both high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It aims to see if the combination works better and is safe.
This trial compares a lower-dose cholesterol pill (rosuvastatin plus ezetimibe) to a higher-dose version of just rosuvastatin for people with mild to moderate heart artery blockages who have not had a stent or bypass. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer.
This trial compares a high-dose combination of rosuvastatin (a statin) and ezetimibe (another cholesterol-lowering drug) versus a standard rosuvastatin-only approach for people with peripheral artery disease (narrowed leg arteries) or widespread artery disease. The goal is to see which strategy better lowers LDL cholesterol and reduces heart and limb risks.
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 compares two different ways of lowering cholesterol: a moderate statin (pitavastatin) plus another drug (ezetimibe) versus a stronger statin alone. The goal is to see which approach is safer regarding the risk of developing new diabetes.
This trial tests whether ezetimibe, a cholesterol-lowering drug, changes the bacteria in your gut. It may help people with heart disease or high cholesterol who are already on a statin.
