• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2018-01-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

1. Target disease : Patients with combined dyslipidemia with adequately controlled LDL-C but inadequately controlled triglyceride level by atorvastatin monotherapy

2. Study objective : The objective of this study is to demonstrate that Pravafenix Cap. is clinically superior to atorvastatin by evaluating a percent change in Non-HDL-C in each group after 8 weeks treatment with atorvastatin or Pravafenix Cap. (pravastatin sodium/fenofibrate) in patients with adequately controlled LDL-C but inadequately controlled triglyceride level by atorvastatin monotherapy in a multicenter, randomized, double blind setting.

3. Phase and design : A multicenter, double blind, randomized, active controlled, parallel-design, Phase 3 study

4. Duration of study : 12 months from the IRB approval date

5. Duration of administration : 4-week single blind run-in period plus 8-week double blind treatment period

• Phase: Phase 3
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

2. Revascularzation procedure or aortic aneurysm operation within 6 months prior to study participation

3. Myopathy, history of rhabdomyolysis or myopathy due to statins or fibrates, or elevated CK level ≥ 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) during the previous statin treatment

4. Acute or chronic pancreatitis due to hypertriglyceridemia

8. Patients treated with prohibited concomitant medications during the study period or those for whom treatment with prohibited concomitant medications is considered inevitable (systemic or inhalant corticosteroids may be allowed during the study provided that the treatment is maintained at the same dose.)

9. Administration of or will be administered with periodic sex hormone therapies or oral contraceptives within 2 months prior to the screening visit or during the study participation

10. Moderate to severe renal impairment (GFR<60ml/min) at screening

11. Severe hepatic impairment with AST/ALT level > 3 x ULN at screening (biliary cirrhosis, active liver disease, or continued increases in transaminases by unknown causes (> 3 x ULN), etc.)
