Fixed-dose pitavastatin/ezetimibe for adults with dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome
Official title: A Multi-center, Open-label, Observational Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Pitavastatin/Ezetimibe Tablets in Patients With Dyslipidemia Who Also Have Metabolic Syndrome
Run by JW Pharmaceutical · NCT07523971 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This will try a fixed-dose pitavastatin/ezetimibe pill in adults with dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome to see if it lowers LDL cholesterol and is safe over 48 weeks.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥19 years) with dyslipidemia who meet metabolic syndrome criteria and who are being prescribed or considered for pitavastatin/ezetimibe, including those with inadequate response to prior lipid therapy or who have been off lipid regulators for at least 4 weeks, are the ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with contraindications to pitavastatin/ezetimibe, those already well controlled on other lipid-lowering regimens, or those unable to attend follow-up visits are unlikely to gain benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label observational study enrolling adults diagnosed with dyslipidemia who meet criteria for metabolic syndrome and who are prescribed pitavastatin/ezetimibe (2/10 mg or 4/10 mg) as part of routine care. No treatment is assigned by the protocol; investigators will treat patients according to usual practice and the study will record outcomes at baseline, 24 weeks and 48 weeks. The primary outcome is percent change in LDL-C from baseline to 24 weeks, with secondary lipid endpoints and the proportion reaching LDL-C targets at 24 and 48 weeks. Safety will be monitored by recording adverse events and serious adverse events throughout the 48-week observation period.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the fixed-dose pitavastatin/ezetimibe pill could lower LDL cholesterol more effectively than current regimens and simplify treatment for patients with metabolic syndrome.
How similar studies have gone: Randomized and observational studies of statin plus ezetimibe combinations have consistently shown additional LDL-C lowering, so this approach is supported overall though specific fixed-dose pitavastatin/ezetimibe data are less extensive.
