Official title
CSP #363 - The VA HDL Intervention Trial (HIT): Secondary Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease in Men With Low HDL-Cholesterol and Desirable LDL-Cholesterol
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This was a double-blind randomized trial comparing 1200 mg per day of gemfibrozil with placebo in 2531 men with coronary heart disease, an HDL-C of 40mg/dl or less, an LDL-C of 140 mg/dl or less, and triglycerides of 300mg/dl or less. The primary outcome was nonfatal myocardial infarction(MI) or death from coronary causes. The median follow-up was 5.1 years. There was a risk reduction of 22% in the primary outcome (p=.0006) and 24% risk reduction in the combined endpoint of stroke, MI, and CHD death. The rate of events was reduced by raising HDL-C and lowering triglycerides without lowering LDL-C (N Engl J Med 1999;341:410-418).
