Effect of High-intensity Statin With Ezetimibe COmbination theRapy Versus High-intensity sTatin Monotherapy After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Drug-eluting Stents; the ESCORT Trial
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
ezetimibe/high-intensity statin combination therapy (ezetimibe 10mg plus atoravastatin 40mg): The initial dose of lipid-lowering therapy will be ezetimibe 10mg plus atoravastatin 40mg. During follow-up, the dose of ezetimibe 10mg plus atoravastatin 40mg is strongly recommended to be maintained.
high-intensity statin monotherapy (atoravastatin 40mg): The initial dose of lipid-lowering therapy will be atoravastatin 40mg. During follow-up, the dose of atoravastatin 40mg is strongly recommended to be maintained.
Study summary
This study sought to evaluate whether ezetimibe combination to high-intensity statin therapy will have more prominent beneficial effect compared to high-intensity statin monotherapy in patients who underwent coronary revascularization with newer generation drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. Furthermore, the optimal OCT-based optimal expansion criteria as well as the efficacy and safety of newer generation will be investigated.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Clinical efficacy of lipid lowering therapy — Within 3 years after the enrollment
Composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), any coronary revascularization, hospitalization for unstable angina, or nonfatal stroke within 3 years
