Introduction: We designed a randomized, controlled prospective study aimed at comparing efficacy and tolerability of ezetimibe+fenofibrate treatment versus pravastatin monotherapy in dyslipidemic HIV-positive (HIV+) patients treated with protease inhibitors (PIs).
Methods: We consecutively enrolled 42 HIV+ dyslipidemic patients on stable PIs therapy (LDL cholesterol >130 mg/dl or triglycerides 200-500 mg/dl with non-HDL cholesterol >160 mg/dl). After basal evaluation, patients were randomized to a six-month treatment with ezetimibe 10 mg/day+fenofibrate 200 mg/day or with pravastatin 40 mg/day.
