NCT05361421

Brief Summary

Although there have been studies regarding intensive lowering of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol with high intensity statins in patients with cardiovascular disease, elderly patients were either excluded or accounted only a small portion of study subjects. Therefore, this study sought to compare the clinical outcomes according to the LDL-cholesterol therapy targeting (intensive targeting \[LDL-cholesterol \<55mg/dL\] vs. conventional therapy \[moderate intensity statin therapy\]) in elderly patients with ≥75 years and documented cardiovascular disease.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical efficacy of intensive lipid-lowering therapy

    Composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke, coronary revascularization, and hospitalization for angina

    3 years

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Efficacy endpoint

    3 years

  • Safety endpoint

    3 years

Study Arms (2)

Intensive targeting group

EXPERIMENTAL

Intensive lipid loweroing therapy with LDL-cholesterol goal of \<55mg/dL

Drug: Intensive targeting group

Conventional therapy group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Initiate and maintain moderate intensity statin therapy

Drug: Conventional therapy group

Interventions

Intensive lipid lowering therapy with LDL-cholesterol goal of \<55mg/dL. Atorvastatin 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80mg are allowed to use and ezetimibe or PCSK-9 inhibitor may be considered in patients who could not achieve target LDL-cholesterol level even with the maximum dose of study drugs (atorvastatin 80mg) by the discretion of the investigator.

Intensive targeting group

Only moderate intensity statin therapy (atorvastatin 5, 10, and 20mg ) are allowed. Ezetimibe or PCSK-9 inhibitor is not allowed to use.

Conventional therapy group
