Comparison of effects on lipids of combinations of nicotinic acid with a statin in comparison with a combination of a statin with ezetimibe or rosuvastatin monotherapy in a 12-week, open-label, randomized trial in 292 patients indicated for LDL-cholesterol lowering therapy. Patients received rosuvastatin (20–40 mg), rosuvastatin plus Niaspan® (10/1000 mg or 20/1000 mg), atorvastatin plus Niaspan® (20/1000 mg or 40/2000 mg), or simvastatin plus ezetimibe (20/10 mg or 40/10 mg). Significance values are from ANOVA across groups. Drawn from data presented by McKenney et al (2006).
