Effect of Intensive LDL-cholesterol Targeting for Elderly Patients With Cardiovascular Disease: I-OLD Trial
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Although there have been studies regarding intensive lowering of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol with high intensity statins in patients with cardiovascular disease, elderly patients were either excluded or accounted only a small portion of study subjects. Therefore, this study sought to compare the clinical outcomes according to the LDL-cholesterol therapy targeting (intensive targeting [LDL-cholesterol <55mg/dL] vs. conventional therapy [moderate intensity statin therapy]) in elderly patients with ≥75 years and documented cardiovascular disease.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intensive targeting group Intensive lipid loweroing therapy with LDL-cholesterol goal of <55mg/dL |
Drug: Intensive targeting group
Intensive lipid lowering therapy with LDL-cholesterol goal of <55mg/dL. Atorvastatin 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80mg are allowed to use and ezetimibe or PCSK-9 inhibitor may be considered in patients who could not achieve target LDL-cholesterol level even with the maximum dose of study drugs (atorvastatin 80mg) by the discretion of the investigator.
|
Active Comparator: Conventional therapy group Initiate and maintain moderate intensity statin therapy |
Drug: Conventional therapy group
Only moderate intensity statin therapy (atorvastatin 5, 10, and 20mg ) are allowed. Ezetimibe or PCSK-9 inhibitor is not allowed to use.
