| A Study of Evacetrapib (LY2484595) in Participants With Kidney Impairment and in Healthy Participants
|| Pharmacokinetics of Evacetrapib (LY2484595) Following Administration to Subjects With Impaired Renal Function


At five years, the combined primary end point of [[cardiac death]] and non-fatal [[myocardial infarction]] occurred in 17.3% versus 21.7% in the placebo group.  Acute coronary events reduced by 11% with gemfibrozil for every 5 mg/dL rise in HDL-C, but the reduction was independent of changes in [[LDL]]-C and [[triglyceride]] levels.
||Ongoing ||NCT01825889
* CONCLUSION: Low HDL-C levels strongly and independently predict the occurrence of coronary events which were reduced by treatment with gemfibrozil.

* OBJECTIVE: To assess if [[niacin]] + [[simvastatin]] combination is superior to simvastatin alone in raising low levels of [[high density lipoprotein]] ([[HDL]]).
|Efficacy and Safety Study of JTT-705 in Combination With Pravastatin 40 mg in Patients With Type II Hyperlipidemia||A 4-Week, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of JTT-705 (300 mg or 600 mg) Versus Placebo in Combination With Pravastatin 40 mg in Patients With Type II Hyperlipidemia||completed||NCT00688896||Dalcetrapib||2
* METHOD: AIM-HIGH is a randomized trial wherein 3414 patients randomly received either extended release niacin (1500 to 2000 md per day) or a matching [[placebo]]. All patients received simvastatin 40 to 80 mg daily to maintain an [[LDL]]-C level in the range of 40-80 mg/dL. [[Ezetimibe]] 10 mg daily was added, if needed, to achieve the LDL goal. The primary end point was the first event of the composite of death from [[coronary heart disease]], nonfatal [[myocardial infarction]], [[ischemic stroke]], hospitalization for an [[acute coronary syndrome]], or symptom-driven coronary or cerebral revascularization.
|-
* RESULTS: The trial was stopped prematurely for futility after a follow-up of 36 months.  At two years compared to placebo, niacin increased HDL-C levels and reduced [[triglyceride]] and LDL-C levels but there was no reduction in the rate of primary endpoint or all-cause mortality with niacin. Moreover, there was a trend towards more [[ischemic stroke]]s in the niacin group. This led to the decision to halt the trial prematurely.
|Efficacy and Safety of JTT-705 300, 600 And 900mg in Comparison With Placebo in Patients With Type II Hyperlipidaemia||A 4-Weeks Treatment, Randomised, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group Study Evaluating The Efficacy and Safety of JTT-705 300 to 900mg in Comparison With Placebo in Patients With Type II Hyperlipidaemia||Completed||NCT00686010||Dalcetrapib||2
* CONCLUSION: No incremental clinical benefit was observed from addition of niacin to simvastatin during a 36 month follow-up. Also, elevations in HDL-C levels in the placebo group were higher than expected which may have reduced the competency of the trial to detect a real benefit with niacin therapy.


===Trial of Simvastatin Plus Niacin===
|-
* OBJECTIVE: To suggest that additional benefits may be observed in patients with low HDL-C by combining a [[statin]] with a drug that elevates [[HDL]]-C.
* METHOD: This was a three year randomized trial that enrolled 160 patients with clinical and angiographic evidence of [[coronary artery disease]] who had an HDL-C <35 mg/dL and an [[LDL]]-C <145 mg/dL. Patients were randomly assigned into 4 groups: [[simvastatin]] plus [[niacin]]; [[antioxidant]]s; simvastatin plus niacin plus antioxidants or placebo.
* RESULTS: Mean serum LDL and HDL levels changed substantially in the simvastatin plus niacin group while levels in the antioxidants and placebo groups remained unaltered.  Also, patients receiving simvastatin and niacin sustained lower cardiovascular events and experienced angiographic regression of the most significant [[coronary artery]] [[stenosis]] compared with patients receiving antioxidants or placebo.
* CONCLUSION: Addition of a drug that increases HDL-C levels to a statin proves to have additional protection over just statin alone.

* OBJECTIVE: To assess if treatment with extended release [[niacin]] when added to [[statin]] monotherapy slows progression of [[atherosclerosis]] among individuals with known [[coronary artery disease]] ([[CAD]]) and moderately low HDL-C.
|-
* METHOD: ARBITER (Arterial Biology for the Investigation of the Treatment Effects of Reducing Cholesterol) 2 was a double blinded randomized placebo controlled study of once daily extended release niacin (1000 mg). 167 patients with known CAD and moderately low HDL-C were enrolled in this study and were assessed for the primary end-point [[carotid intima-media thickness]] (CIMT) at the end of one year.
|Safety and Efficacy Study of JTT-705 in Combination With Simvastatin 40 mg in Patients With Low High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Levels||A 4-Week, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of JTT-705 600 mg Versus Placebo Administered Once Daily in Combination With Simvastatin 40 mg in Patients With Low HDL Levels||completed||NCT00688558||Dalcetrapib||2
* RESULTS: At the end of 12 months mean CIMT significantly increased in the placebo group but not in the niacin group. Niacin significantly reduced the rate of IMT progression in patients without [[insulin resistance]]. Patients treated with niacin had a significant increase in [[HDL]] levels from a mean of 39 mg/dL to 47 mg/dL.
* CONCLUSION: The addition of extended-release niacin to statin therapy slowed the progression of atherosclerosis among individuals with known coronary heart disease and moderately low HDL-C.

* OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of two intensive [[lipid]] altering therapies in men with [[familial combined hyperlipidemia]] as assessed by [[arteriography]].
* METHOD: Familial Atherosclerosis Treatment Study (FATS) is a randomized, double blinded, [[placebo]] controlled study wherein 146 men with one coronary [[stenosis]] of greater than 50 percent or three lesions of greater than 30 percent were enrolled and randomized into three groups. The groups included:
** Placebo plus low dose [[colestipol]] (if needed, to lower [[LDL]])
** [[Niacin]] (1 g QID) plus colestipol (10 g TID)
** [[Lovastatin]] (20 mg BID) plus colestipol (10 g TID)
The primary endpoint was a measure of change in the severity of disease in the proximal coronary arteries as measured by quantitative arteriography.
* RESULTS: Both the intensive lipid lowering therapies were equally effective. Both reduced the frequency of progression of coronary lesions (21% and 25% versus 46% in the control group), increased the frequency of regression (32% and 39% versus 11%), and reduced the incidence of cardiovascular events in men with coronary artery disease who were at high risk for cardiovascular events.

* OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of [[cholesterol]] lowering therapy, using a hydroxymethyl glutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor ([[pravastatin]]) in symptomatic men with [[coronary artery disease]] ([[CAD]]).
* METHOD: Regression Growth Evaluation Statin Study (REGRESS) was a multicentred, prospective, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial that enrolled 885 men with established coronary artery disease with total cholesterol levels in the range of 155 and 310 mg/dL. The patients were randomized into two groups, treatment and control and followed up for two years. Effect of pravastatin on progression and regression of coronary atherosclerosis was assessed by quantitative [[coronary arteriography]]. All the patients received routine antianginal treatment for the duration of the trial.
* RESULTS: Percent diameter stenosis before angioplasty was 78 +/- 14% (mean +/- SD) in the pravastatin group and 80 +/- 14% in the placebo group (p = 0.46). At follow-up, the percent diameter [[stenosis]] was 32 +/- 23% in the pravastatin group and 45 +/- 29% in the [[placebo]] group (p < 0.001). Clinical restenosis was significantly lower in the pravastatin group (7%) compared with the placebo group (29%) (p < 0.001).
* CONCLUSIONS: In symptomatic men with significant coronary artery disease and normal to moderately elevated serum cholesterol, less progression of coronary atherosclerosis and fewer new cardiovascular events were observed in the group of patients treated with pravastatin than in the placebo group.

* OBJECTIVE: To evaluate if bezafibrate could slow the progression of coronary stenoses in dyslipidemic male survivors of myocardial infarction who were younger than 45 years at the time of the event.
{| class="wikitable sortable" style="font-size:90%"
* METHOD: The Bezafibrate Coronary Atherosclerosis Intervention Trial (BECAIT) was a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial over 5 years to assess the angiographic benefits of bezafibrate retard (400 mg a day) in 92 young (45 yrs), male, post-[[myocardial infarction]] (post-MI) patients with [[dyslipidemia]] (fasting serum [[cholesterol]] concentration above 240 mg/dL and [[triglyceride]] concentration above 141 mg/dL).
! '''Name of the Trial'''
* RESULTS:
! '''Official Title'''
** [[Bezafibrate]] reduced the levels of LDL-C and triglycerides by 53% and 46% respectively
! '''Status'''
** Plasma apolipoprotein (apo) B levels reduced by 9%
! '''ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier'''
** [[HDL]]3 levels rose by 9%
! '''Drug name'''
* CONCLUSION: The effect of bezafibrate on progression of focal coronary atherosclerosis could be at least partly attributed to a rise in HDL3 cholesterol and a decrease in the total number of apo B-containing lipoproteins. Treatment with bezafibrate also significantly reduced the levels of [[insulin-like growth factor]] (IGF-1) which is one another factor associated with disease progression.

* This trial studied the effects of [[atorvastatin]] on the progression of atherosclerosis, assessed by intra-coronary ultrasound in 131 patients.
{| style="font-size:120%"
* After a 12 month follow-up period, it was found that [[atorvastatin]] reduced the progression of mean plaque volume (1.2 versus 9.6 mm<sup>3</sup> for placebo). Also, the drug increased the hyperechogenicity of the plaque which indicates a change in plaque composition from lipid-rich core to fibrotic or calcified. This change in composition of the plaque corresponds to increased plaque stability and a reduced tendency for rupture.

{| style="font-size:120%"
* METHOD: HAPR was a randomized placebo-controlled trial wherein 91 normocholesterolemic patients, with total serum [[cholesterol]] levels less than 250 mg/dL, were selected and treated with a stepwise regimen of diet, [[pravastatin]], [[nicotinic acid]], [[cholestyramine]] and [[gemfibrozil]] for 2.5 years. Repeat coronary angiograms were performed to assess the progression of coronary atherosclerosis.
|-
* RESULTS: The study found a significant improvement in total cholesterol, [[LDL]]-C and [[HDL]]-C levels, however repeat [[coronary angiogram]]s did not show significant differences in the degree of coronary obstruction, progression of coronary stenosis, regression and clinical cardiac events.
| [[ASTEROID Trial]]
* CONCLUSION: This study concluded that intensive lipid lowering therapy does not alter the rate of progression of coronary stenoses in normocholesterolemic patients.

* OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of cholesterol lowering and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition on coronary [[atherosclerosis]] in normocholesterolemic patients.
{| style="font-size:120%"
* METHOD: The [[Simvastatin]]/[[Enalapril]] Coronary Atherosclerosis Trial (SCAT) was a multicentered, randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled angiographic trial wherein a total of 460 normocholesterolemic patients were enrolled. 230 received simvastatin, 230 a simvastatin placebo, 229 enalapril and 231 an enalapril placebo. All the patients were followed up for an average time period of 47.8 months.
|-
* RESULTS and CONCLUSION: Less progression was observed in patients receiving simvastatin compared to those receiving [[placebo]]. On quantitative coronary angiography the change in mean diameter, minimum diameter, percentage [[stenosis]] and the need for angioplasty was less with simvastatin. No additional benefit was observed with enalapril therapy.

All the patients were on an additional statin therapy. The change in carotid artery wall area was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging after 1 year.
* RESULTS: Niacin increased HDL-C by 23% and reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol by 19% and at 12 months niacin significantly reduced carotid wall area compared with placebo.
* CONCLUSION: Compared with placebo, treatment with high-dose modified-release niacin along with statin therapy significantly reduced carotid atherosclerosis within 12 months.
 
===SATURN Trial===
* OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of two intensive lipid lowering treatment regimens (statins) on the progression of coronary atherosclerosis and to assess their safety and side-effect profiles.
* METHOD: Study of Coronary Atheroma by Intravascular Ultrasound: Effect of Rosuvastatin Versus Atorvastatin (SATURN) trial was a randomized trial which enrolled 1049 patients with known coronary artery disease, to study the effects of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin on the progression of coronary atherosclerosis. Percent atheroma volume and total atheroma volume were assessed by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) at baseline and after 104 weeks of treatment with either [[rosuvastatin]] 40 daily and [[atorvastatin]] 80 mg daily.
* RESULTS: At the end of 104 weeks
** Serum LDL-C levels were lower in the rosuvastatin group than atorvastatin group.
** Similarly serum HDL-C levels were higher in the rosuvastatin group than in atorvastatin group.
** Percent atheroma volume (PAV), decreased by 0.99% with atorvastatin and by 1.22% with rosuvastatin.
* CONCLUSION: Maximal doses of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin resulted in significant regression of coronary atherosclerosis. Even though rosuvastatin achieved a lower LDL-C and higher HDL-C levels compared to atorvastatin, a similar degree of regression of PAV was observed in both the treatment groups.

* OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of cholesterol lowering with simvastatin on mortality and morbidity in patients with [[coronary artery disease]] (CAD).
* METHOD: The Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Study (4S) enrolled 4444 patients with known CAD ([[angina pectoris]] or previous [[myocardial infarction]]) and serum cholesterol  levels between 212 and 309 mg/dL. Patients were randomly assigned to either [[simvastatin]] (20 to 40 mg/day) or [[placebo]] and were followed-up for a median period of 5.4 years.
* RESULTS:
** Total cholesterol reduced by 25%
** LDL-C levels reduced by 35%
** Mean HDL-C improved by 8%
** [[Mortality]] rate was lower in the simvastatin group compared with that in the placebo group (8% vs 12%)
** Significant reductions in major coronary events (19 versus 28 percent)
* CONCLUSION: The study showed that long-term treatment with simvastatin is safe and improves survival in CAD patients.

* OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of [[pravastatin]] in reducing mortality in known CAD patients.
* METHOD: The Long-Term Intervention with Pravastatin in Ischaemic Disease (LIPID) study was a randomized, double-blinded, placebo controlled trial wherein 9014 patients (young and old) with known CAD and total cholesterol levels in the range of 155 to 271 mg per deciliter were enrolled and randomly assigned to treatment with either 40 mg daily pravastatin or placebo. The patients were followed up for a mean period of 6.1 years.
* RESULTS:
** Pravastatin was associated with a lower rate of death from CAD compared with placebo (6.4% vs 8.3%)
** Overall mortality rate was lower in the pravastatin group compared with that in the placebo group (11% vs 14.1%)
** The incidence of all cardiovascular outcomes was consistently lower among patients assigned to receive pravastatin
* CONCLUSION: Treatment with pravastatin reduced mortality from coronary heart disease and overall mortality, as compared with the rates in the placebo group, as well as the incidence of all prespecified cardiovascular events in patients with a history of myocardial infarction or [[unstable angina]] who had a broad range of initial cholesterol levels.

* OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of 10 mg and 80 mg daily dose of [[atorvastatin]] in patients with stable CAD and baseline LDL-C between 130 mg/dL and 250 mg/dL.
* METHOD: The Treating to New Targets (TNT) trial was a randomized trial that enrolled 10,001 patients with stable coronary artery disease to treatment with atorvastatin, 80 or 10 mg/d, and follwed them up for a median period of 4.9 years. The primary end point was a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infraction, resuscitated cardiac arrest, and stroke.
* RESULTS: Compared to low dose, high dose atorvastatin was associated with
** A significantly lower mean serum LDL-C concentration (77 vs 101 mg/dL)
** Significant reductions in the rate of the primary end point (8.7 vs 10.9 percent)
** No reduction in all-cause mortality. Higher doses of atorvastatin, although reduced mortality due to cardiac events, were associated with higher mortality rate due to noncardiovascular events.
* CONCLUSION: Wider use of the 80-mg dose of atorvastatin in patients with stable coronary disease is safe, cost-effective, and provides an incremental reduction in coronary events.
 
===IDEAL Trial===
* OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of two lipid lowering strategies (high dose atorvastatin [80 mg] and simvastatin 20 mg) on the risk of cardiovascular disease among patients with a previous myocardial infarction (MI).

* OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of reconstituted HDL on atheromatous [[plaque]] volume.
* METHOD: This was a randomized placebo-controlled trial conducted in 17 centers across Canada. An [[intravascular ultrasound]] was performed at baseline and at 2 to 3 weeks after the last infusion to assess plaque burden.
* RESULTS: The group with higher doses of reconstituted HDL (CSL-111) was eliminated from the study because of mild [[liver function test]] abnormalities. The results of the study are briefed below:
** Percentage change in plaque volume: -3.4% with CSL-111 and -1.6% with placebo (P= 0.48 between the groups, P< 0.001 vs baseline for CSL-111)
** Nominal change in plaque volume: -5.3% with CSL-111 and -2.3% with placebo (P= 0.39 between the groups, P< 0.001 vs baseline for CSL-111)
** Mean changes in plaque characterization on IVUS: −0.0097 for CSL-111 and 0.0128 with placebo (P = .01)
** Mean changes in coronary score on [[quantitative coronary angiography]]: −0.039 mm for CSL-111 and −0.071 mm with placebo (P= 0.03)
* CONCLUSIONS: Short term infusions of reconstituted HDL (CSL-111) resulted in:
** No significant reductions in percentage change and nominal change in plaque volume compared to placebo.
** Statistically significant improvement in mean changes in plaque characterization on IVUS and coronary score on quantitative coronary angiography, compared to [[placebo]].
 
===Infusion of Apo A-1 Milano<ref name="pmid14600188">{{cite journal |author=Nissen SE, Tsunoda T, Tuzcu EM, ''et al.'' |title=Effect of recombinant ApoA-I Milano on coronary atherosclerosis in patients with acute coronary syndromes: a randomized controlled trial |journal=[[JAMA : the Journal of the American Medical Association]] |volume=290 |issue=17 |pages=2292–300 |year=2003 |month=November |pmid=14600188 |doi=10.1001/jama.290.17.2292 |url=}}</ref>===
* OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Apo A-1 Milano on plaque burden on arteries.
* METHOD: Apo A-1 was infused in cholesterol fed rabbits and showed a decreased intimal thickness and macrophage content after balloon injury in femoral and iliac arteries. Based on these results, another pilot trial was designed using recombinant Apo A-1 Milano phospholipid complex (ETC-216) in 57 patients within two weeks of the onset of [[acute coronary syndrome]]. Subjects were randomly assigned to the ETC 216 infusion group at 15 mg/kg or 45 mg/kg or to placebo group. [[IVUS]] was performed at baseline and repeated at the completion of the study.
* RESULTS: Treatment with ETC-216 (in both doses) resulted in a significant decrease in mean percentage of coronary artery volume occupied by atheroma as well as the total atheroma volume. Whereas the placebo group did not show any significant change.
* CONCLUSIONS: Although Apo A-1 Milano infusions resulted in decrease in plaque burden, further study is required assess efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness.
