Comparative Efficacy Evaluation of Lipids when Treated with Niaspan & Statin or Other Lipid-Modifying Therapies-COMPELL Clinical Trials Information presented on Clinical Trials Search is not designed to be a substitute for certified medical advice, trips or professional assistance with a real medical doctor. We aren't docs. Always confer with your doctor about Comparative Efficacy Evaluation of Lipids when Treated with Niaspan & Statin or Other Lipid-Modifying Therapies-COMPELL conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Comparative Efficacy Evaluation of Lipids when Treated with Niaspan & Statin or Other Lipid-Modifying Therapies-COMPELL Clinical research trials and Comparative Efficacy Evaluation of Lipids when Treated with Niaspan & Statin or Other Lipid-Modifying Therapies-COMPELL health trials happen in many of cities across the US. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally measure the effectualness of new does drugs. The intention of the studies / projects is to figure out particular human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to detect cures for all forms of circumstances, like Comparative Efficacy Evaluation of Lipids when Treated with Niaspan & Statin or Other Lipid-Modifying Therapies-COMPELL. Comparative Efficacy Evaluation of Lipids when Treated with Niaspan & Statin or Other Lipid-Modifying Therapies-COMPELL Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to undergo medical treatment options before they are available to the general public. Most times the subjects get treatment for free of charge, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Comparative Efficacy Evaluation of Lipids when Treated with Niaspan & Statin or Other Lipid-Modifying Therapies-COMPELL clinical trial. Subjects frequently get the best healthcare possible for their Comparative Efficacy Evaluation of Lipids when Treated with Niaspan & Statin or Other Lipid-Modifying Therapies-COMPELL condition. Hazards are a reality, however, and could include more or frequent mD visits, health risks (possibly life-jeopardizing), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with exacting guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Comparative Efficacy Evaluation of Lipids when Treated with Niaspan & Statin or Other Lipid-Modifying Therapies-COMPELL
For Condition: Dyslipidemia,Diabetes,Stroke,Atherosclerosis,Coronary Heart Disease
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Kos Pharmaceuticals ,
Synopsis: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of first-line treatment using Niaspan (an extended release version of niacin) and statins versus other drugs that lower lipid levels, in subjects with elevated fat levels in their blood (dyslipidemia). Statins are a class of medication that is often prescribed to patients who need to lower their cholesterol levels.
Details: Name of Drugs: Niaspan (niacin extended-release tablets), Lipitor® (atorvastatin), Zocor® (simvastatin), Zetia™ (ezetimibe), and Crestor® (rosuvastatin) Study Treatment: Four open-label parallel treatment groups for 12 weeks of observation - Niaspan and atorvastatin combination treatment titrated to 2000 mg and 40 mg, respectively; - combination treatment of simvastatin titrated to 40 mg and ezetimibe maintained at 10 mg; - rosuvastatin monotherapy treatment titrated to 40 mg; and - Niaspan and rosuvastatin combination treatment titrated to 1000 mg and 20 mg, respectively. Objective: To evaluate the relative efficacy of first-line therapy using the combination of Niaspan and atorvastatin versus the combination of simvastatin and ezetimibe versus rosuvastatin monotherapy versus the combination of Niaspan and rosuvastatin in patients with dyslipidemia. Population: - Male or female patients 21 years of age or older - Patients who are eligible for treatment based upon National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) recommendations at the end of the Qualification period; - All patients must have mean triglycerides (TG) ≤ 300 mg/dL. Design: A Phase IV, 12-week, randomized, multi-center, open-label, four-arm, parallel-group study evaluating the efficacy of Niaspan and statin therapy versus other lipid-modifying therapies preceded by a four-week washout of any previous lipid-lowering therapy. Sample Size: Approximately 300 patients will be randomized equally to the four treatment groups. Multi-center: Approximately 35 sites will participate. Primary Endpoint: Mean percent change in LDL-C from Baseline to Week 12. Secondary Endpoints: Mean percent change in high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), TG, and non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) from Baseline to Week 12. Tertiary Endpoints: Lipid values including mean percent change in total cholesterol (TC) and the ratios of TC to HDL-C and LDL-C to HDL-C to Week 12. Safety variables such as serum transaminases, routine chemistry parameters, hematology, urinalysis, and adverse events will be evaluated as tertiary endpoints. Adverse Events: Adverse events and flushing will be volunteered by patients and elicited by study staff. Statistical Plan: All hypothesis tests will be two-sided and use a Type I error rate of 5%. The primary endpoint of mean percent change in LDL-C from Baseline to Week 12 will be evaluated using an ANOVA to assess differences across treatment groups. The secondary and tertiary endpoints will each be compared similarly across treatment groups in separate ANOVA models. If a statistically significant treatment group difference is found in an efficacy endpoint, relevant pairs of treatment groups will be compared using a procedure to control for Type I error in multiple comparisons. Adverse events will be tabulated by term and system organ class according to the MedDRA dictionary. Chi-square or Fisher’s Exact test will be used as appropriate to compare incidences between groups. Continuous-valued safety and efficacy variables will be summarized by treatment group and week using means (of observed and percent change values), the standard error of the mean, the median, the minimum, and the maximum. Discrete-valued safety and efficacy variables will be summarized by treatment group and week using frequencies and percents.
