Ezetimibe-Simvastatin Evaluation Study (ZEUS)

Study Description
Brief Summary:
The study purpose is to assess the efficacy of the fixed combination of ezetimibe-simvastatin in patients with hypercholesterolemia not responding to statin monotherapy in achieving the blood plasma LDL-C target as defined by the ESC / EAS Guideline, of 2016.

Condition or disease
Hypercholesterolemia Hyperlipidemias Statin Monotherapy Response

Detailed Description:

The additional study objectives are:

  1. To evaluate the efficacy of a fixed combination of ezetimibe-simvastatin in patients with hypercholesterolemia to improve the lipid profile (HDL-C ↑, T-CHOL, Triglycerides ↓).
  2. Evaluation of the response of patients with hypercholesterolemia who received a fixed combination of ezetimibe-simvastatin to achieve a target according to the category of total cardiovascular risk to which they belong.
  3. To evaluate the efficacy of a stable combination of ezetimibe and simvastatin in patients with hypercholesterolemia in improving non-HDL-cholesterol (non-HDL-C) levels.
  4. Safety assessment through the recording of Adverse Events during the study.
