At Sea with SEAS: The First Clinical Endpoint Trial for Ezetimibe, Treatment of Patients with Mild to Moderate Aortic Stenosis, Ends with Mixed Results and More Controversy
Heart, Lung, and Circulation, 09/21/09

Hamilton–Craig I et al. – There was no difference in the primary endpoint (a combination of AVR, CV death, non–fatal MI, congestive heart failure from AS progression, coronary revascularisation, hospitalised unstable angina and non–haemorrhagic stroke). Compared with placebo, CVD events were reduced by 4.4% from 20.1% to 15.7% in the simvastatin/ezetimibe group. Cancer incidence and cancer deaths were more frequent in the simvastatin/ezetimibe group. These differences were not related to any form of cancer and did not increase with increased duration of therapy.
