Comparing two treatments for high coronary calcium without symptoms
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares a combo of statin and ezetimibe without aspirin against statin alone with aspirin in people with high coronary calcium but no blocked arteries. It aims to find which approach is safer and more effective without causing bleeding risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 tests whether a daily aspirin and a statin medicine can help prevent heart problems in people with high calcium buildup in their heart arteries. It is for people aged 40 to 75 who have a high coronary calcium score (300 or more) and at least one additional risk factor like diabetes or high blood pressure.
This trial studies whether high-intensity statin plus ezetimibe can improve heart health in people who do not have symptoms but have calcium buildup in their heart arteries. It may help lower cholesterol and reduce future heart risks for the right participants.
This study compares two ways to lower cholesterol and stabilize artery plaque in people with coronary artery disease who are having a stent procedure. It tests whether a moderate statin plus ezetimibe works as well as a high-intensity statin alone for stabilizing plaque.
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 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.
