A Study Examining Torcetrapib/Atorvastatin And Atorvastatin Effects On Clinical CV Events In Patients With Heart Disease - Full Text View

Sponsored by:	Pfizer
Information provided by:	Pfizer
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00134264

Purpose

The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings.

To demonstrate if torcetrapib/atorvastatin can reduce the risk for major cardiovascular disease events, when compared to atorvastatin alone, in patients with coronary heart disease or risk equivalents

Condition	Intervention	Phase
Coronary Disease Diabetes Mellitus	Drug: torcetrapib/atorvastatin Drug: atorvastatin	Phase III

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Diagnosis of coronary heart disease or risk equivalents that place the patient at high risk for cardiovascular disease events

Exclusion Criteria:

Women who are pregnant or lactating, or planning to become pregnant.
Subjects with a clinically indicated need for statin (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor) therapy other than atorvastatin or other concomitant therapy with known lipid altering effects on LDL-C and HDL-C including fibrates and nicotinic acid
Subjects taking any drugs known to be associated with an increased risk of myositis in combination with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors
Subjects with any other medical condition or laboratory abnormality which could affect subject safety, preclude evaluationof response, or render unlikely that the subject would complete the study
