    Treatments

    Studied treatment Simvastatin 20mg/Ezetimibe 10mg
    Control treatment placebo
    Remarks 3 arms: Simvastatin 20 mg, Simvastatin 20mg/Ezetimibe 10mg and placebo

    Patients

    Patients patients with established chronic kidney disease (dialysis or pre-dialysis)
    Inclusion criteria history of chronic kidney disease (CKD): either patients who are pre-dialysis (with a plasma or serum creatinine greater than or equal to 150 micromol/l [greater than or equal to 1.7 mg/dl] in men, or greater than or equal to 130 micromol/l [greater than or equal to 1.5 mg/dl] in women) or patients on dialysis (haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis); men or women aged greater than or equal to 40 years
    Exclusion criteria definite history of myocardial infarction or coronary revascularisation procedure; functioning renal transplant, or living donor-related transplant planned; less than 2 months since presentation as an acute uraemic emergency; definite history of chronic liver disease, or abnormal liver function (i.e. alanine aminotransferase [ALT] > 1.5 x upper limit of normal [ULN] or, if ALT not available, aspartate aminotransferase [AST] > 1.5 x ULN); evidence of active inflammatory muscle disease (e.g. dermatomyositis, polymyositis), or creatinine kinase (CK) >3 x ULN; definite previous adverse reaction to a statin or to ezetimibe; concurrent treatment with a contraindicated drug (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor ("statin"); fibric acid derivative ("fibrate"); nicotinic acid; macrolide antibiotic (erythromycin, clarithromycin); systemic use of imidazole or triazole antifungals (e.g. itraconazole, ketoconazole); protease-inhibitors (e.g. antiretroviral drugs for HIV infection); nefazodone; ciclosporin); child-bearing potential; known to be poorly compliant with clinic visits or prescribed medication; medical history that might limit the individual's ability to take trial treatments for the duration of the study (e.g. severe respiratory disease, history of cancer other than non-melanoma skin cancer, or recent history of alcohol or substance misuse)

    Method and design

    Randomized effectives 4193 / 4191 (studied vs. control)
    Design Parallel groups
    Blinding double-blind
    Follow-up duration 4.9 years
    Number of centre 300
    Geographic area 20 countries
    Hypothesis Superiority
    Primary endpoint vascular events: cardiac death, MI, any stroke, or any revascularization
    Remarks There is a certain incertitude concerning the primary endpoint (apparently changed by the Steering committe before the trial ended but this change was not endorsed by the sponsor) Statistical analysis plan is not clear too, with or without the inclusion of patients initially allocated to simvastatin alone and re-randomized to either combination or placebo for the remainder of the study period
