Assessing ezefeno for patients with dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes

Official title: To Assess the Long-term Efficacy and Safety of Combined Therapy With Ezefeno Tab. in Patients With Dyslipidemia Who do Not Achieve Adequate Control of Non-HDL-C Levels Even With Moderate-intensity Monotherapy

Run by Korea University Anam Hospital · NCT06293417 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if a new combination treatment called ezefeno can help people with high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes lower their cholesterol levels and reduce heart risks when other medications aren't enough.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the long-term efficacy and safety of ezefeno, a combination therapy of ezetimibe and fenofibrate, in patients with dyslipidemia who have not achieved adequate control of their Non-HDL-C levels despite moderate-intensity statin therapy. It is a randomized, open-label, parallel, multicenter trial that aims to monitor major adverse cardiovascular and microvascular events over a 48-month period. The study will involve dose escalation of moderate-intensity statins alongside ezefeno treatment to determine its effectiveness in managing lipid levels and reducing cardiovascular risks.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve lipid control and reduce cardiovascular risks in patients with type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using combination therapies for dyslipidemia and diabetes, suggesting potential success for this approach.
