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 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 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 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.
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.
