ROSUZET-AMI: Low Dose Rosuvastatin Plus Ezetimibe Versus High-dose Rosuvastatin in AMI
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Combination therapy of rosuvastatin 5mg and ezetimibe 10 mg showed similar achievement rate in decreasing LDL cholesterol level by 50% as single use of rosuvastatin 20 mg.
This trial aims to prove non-inferiority of concomitant usage of low dose rosuvastatin and ezetimibe among patients with acute myocardial infarction who went through percutaneous coronary intervention at decreasing major adverse cardiac events compared to the efficacy of single use of high dose rosuvastatin.

Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
IMPROVE-IT (Improved Reduction of Outcomes: Vytorin Efficacy International Trial) study showed that even when statin is not used as a treatment the rate of decrease of LDL cholesterol is correlated to the risk of heart disease. Yet whether concomitant use of ezetimibe and statin will have similar degree of clinical efficacy as single use of high dose statin in decreasing LDL cholesterol level needs further examination.
