Abstract：
:We compared the effects of ezetimibe/rosuvastatin 10/5 mg versus rosuvastatin 20 mg on carotid atherosclerotic plaque inflammation measured by 18FDG PET/CT. Fifty patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) were randomly assigned to the ezetimibe/rosuvastatin 10/5 mg and rosuvastatin 20 mg groups. The primary outcome was the percent change in the target-to-background ratio (TBR) of the index vessel in the most diseased segment (MDS), as assessed by 18FDG PET/CT at baseline and at 6 months. Forty-eight patients completed follow-up PET/CT. MDS TBR was - 6.2 ± 13.9% for patients in the ezetimibe/rosuvastatin group and - 10.8 ± 17.7% for those in the rosuvastatin group (difference, 4.6 percentage points; upper limitation of one-sided confidence interval = 13.8; p = 0.60 for noninferiority). In conclusion, combination therapy with ezetimibe 10 mg and rosuvastatin 5 mg compared with rosuvastatin 20 mg did not meet the criterion for non-inferiority for primary outcome, and the present study was not conclusive on whether the former was non-inferior to the latter.
