Study Design

Study 306: 12-week, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group, active-controlled, non-inferiority, Phase 3 study in patients ≥65 years with primary hyperlipidemia or mixed dyslipidemia comparing pitavastatin 1 mg (n=207), 2 mg (n=224), and 4 mg (n=210) with pravastatin 10 mg (n=103), 20 mg (n=96), and 40 mg (n=102), respectively.

Pravachol is a registered trademark of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company.

*Pitavastatin was not studied against pravastatin 80-mg dose.

Non-inferiority of pitavastatin to a given dose of pravastatin was considered demonstrated if the lower bound of the 95% CI for the mean treatment difference was greater than -6% for the mean percent change in LDL-C.

IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. This information will not be disclosed to third parties by Kowa. This data will only be used for the stated purpose and will not be used for any unsolicited communication unless you give us permission.

Cookies

Third parties, including our service providers or marketing partners, may collect information about a visitor to our site over time and/or across different websites when the visitor uses our website.
