Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | ERN + Simvastatin | Extended release niacin plus simvastatin~Extended release niacin: 2,000 mg/day or 1,500 mg/day if higher dose not tolerated~Simvastatin: Dose adjusted to achieve LDL-C 40 mg/dL - 80 mg/dL, adding ezetimibe (10 mg/day) if needed to achieve LDL-C target | 282 | 1,718 | OG000 |
| Group 2 | Placebo + Simvastatin | Simvastatin alone~Simvastatin: Dose adjusted to achieve LDL-C 40 mg/dL - 80 mg/dL, adding ezetimibe (10 mg/day) if needed to achieve LDL-C target | 274 | 1,696 | OG001 |
