Merck & Co has elected to press on with a controversial study of its combination cholesterol treatment Vytorin that has already cost it nearly $690m to settle securities lawsuits.
The IMPROVE-IT study is comparing Vytorin (simvastatin and ezetimibe) to Zocor (simvastatin) in 18,000 patients and has been cleared to continue after an independent monitoring board concluded there were no safety issues.
