An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. The percentage of participants that reported at least 1 AE was summarized.

Percentage of Participants with Potential Hy's Law Condition (defined as serum ALT or serum AST elevations \>3xULN, with serum alkaline phosphatase \<2xULN and total bilirubin (TBL) ≥2xULN) was summarized. The ALT and AST ULNs were 40 U/L. The ULN for alkaline phosphatase was 359 IU/L and the ULN for total bilirubin was 1.2 mg/dL.

Participants had CK levels assessed throughout the 52 week treatment period. Participants who had any CK level that was ≥10 x ULN and had associated muscle symptoms present within +/- 7 days that were reported as at least possibly-related to study drug were recorded. The CK ULNs for males and females were 287 IU/L and 163 IU/L, respectively.

Inclusion Criteria: * Has hypercholesterolemia diagnosed by investigator according to Chinese Guidelines on Prevention and Treatment of Dyslipidemia in Adults (2016 Edition). * Has been stabilized on atorvastatin treatment at 10 mg or 20 mg (or other statins with LDL-C lowering efficacy equivalent ...
EZ/Atorva is used for hypercholesterolemia, a condition of high cholesterol levels in the blood. It is being developed as a treatment for this metabolic condition, including heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic form of high cholesterol.
EZ/Atorva is a small molecule combination therapy. It combines ezetimibe, which targets cholesterol absorption in the intestine, and atorvastatin, which targets cholesterol production in the liver. Together, they work to lower cholesterol levels in patients with hypercholesterolemia.
EZ/Atorva is being developed by Organon & Co., a pharmaceutical company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol OGN. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in patients with hypercholesterolemia.
EZ/Atorva is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. Two Phase 3 trials have been completed to assess its safety and efficacy in patients with hypercholesterolemia.
EZ/Atorva has been studied in two completed Phase 3 trials. NCT02460159 assessed long-term safety and tolerability in Japanese participants with hypercholesterolemia, enrolling 135 patients. NCT03768427 compared EZ/Atorva to atorvastatin alone in Chinese participants with hypercholesterolemia, enrolling 454 patients.
Yes, EZ/Atorva is also known as MK-0653C. In clinical trials, the drug is referred to by this code name, which appears in the trial titles and descriptions. Both names refer to the same combination therapy of ezetimibe and atorvastatin.
