This trial tests how certain statin drugs (medicines that lower cholesterol) affect heart and blood vessel function in healthy people. If you are healthy, you may help researchers understand how these drugs work.
This trial tests whether a common cholesterol-lowering medicine (a statin) helps people with diabetes who do not already have heart disease. If you have diabetes but no history of heart problems, taking a statin might reduce your future risk of heart attack or stroke.
This trial tests whether metformin can help prevent or manage blood sugar problems that may arise when people with schizophrenia take statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs). If you have schizophrenia, are on a stable medication routine, and have high cholesterol but not diabetes, this study might be an option.
This trial tests if pitavastatin alone or with ezetimibe affects blood sugar differently than atorvastatin in people who have heart or blood vessel disease and metabolic syndrome but do not have diabetes.
This study checks if a new investigational drug (MK-4646) changes how the body handles rosuvastatin, a common cholesterol-lowering medicine. It is for healthy people to see if the new drug is safe to take together.
