Product Name: pyridoxine 10mg
Product Code: A11HA02

Primary Outcome(s)

Main Objective: The effect of ezetimibe on cholesterol levels. Previous studies have shown that ezetimibe 10mg reduces cholesterol levels by 18%.


Secondary Objective: To establish the effects, toxicity and therefore safety of ezetimibe in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis by monitoring liver function enzymes. Ezetimibe has been found to produce non-significant changes in liver enzymes.

The effect of pyridoxine on haemoglobin concentration. Because previous pyridoxine should increase haemoglobin only in patients who have a deficiency, we would expect only occasional, individual changes. The effect on the group mean haemoglobin is likely to be small (<0.5 g/100ml).

Primary end point(s): In the general population, previous drug trials showed ezetimibe produces a decrease in plasma total choleserol concentration of ~18%. Reductions of even 5% are thought to be clinically useful and can be acheived by lifestyle intervention. Our primary end-point is the reduction in plasma total cholesterol concentration achieved by ezetimibe in patients with PBC.
