| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The main objective of this study is to show the safety and tolerability of Simvapufa, a new fixed dose combination of Simvastatin and omega-3 fatty acids, administered to patients with acute coronary syndrome.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective is to compare the effect of Simvapufa and extemporaneous combination of Simvastatin and omega-3 fatty acids on lipid metabolism, incorporation of omega-3 PUFA in red blood cell membranes, systemic inflammatory markers, vascular inflammation markers and thrombogenesis in patients with acute coronary syndrome;Primary end point(s): All the efficacy end-points are analytical evaluations performed on biological samples (plasma and urine). Two different central laboratories will perform such determinations and the central laboratories will be blinded in term of patients treatment. In order to reduce intra-patient variability, run-in samples and end of study samples will be analyzed in the same analytical session, where stability of the analytes will allow that. #61623; Traditional markers of lipid metabolism: Total cholesterol, HDL-Cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol, APO B and APO A1, Triglycerides, #61623; Systemic inflammatory markers: C-reactive protein (high sensitivity method) #61623; Serum glucose, insulin. #61623; EPA and DHA levels in plasma and red blood cell membranes. | — |
