Summary: Evaluated ezetimibe with simvastatin versus placebo in patients with chronic kidney disease. The primary endpoint of first major atherosclerotic event (nonfatal MI, coronary death, stroke or arterial revascularization procedure) was reduced with ezetimibe and simvastatin. Note that there was not a ezetimibe alone arm, thus which drug caused to major effect is not able to be determined.
