This randomized trial showed that among individuals at high risk of cardiovascular disease, treatment with torcetrapib (60 mg/day) plus atorvastatin (10–80 mg/day) versus atorvastatin alone was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events despite a 72% increase in HDL-C and 25% decrease in LDL-C levels.

2. Nissen, S. E. et al. Effect of torcetrapib on the progression of coronary atherosclerosis. N. Engl. J. Med. 356, 1304–1316 (2007). This randomized trial showed that despite a 61% increase in HDL-C and a 20% decrease in LDL-C, torcetrapib in combination with atorvastatin versus atorvastatin alone did not significantly decrease the progression of coronary atherosclerosis among 1,188 patients with CHD.

3. Kastelein, J. J. et al. Effect of torcetrapib on carotid atherosclerosis in familial hypercholesterolemia. N. Engl. J. Med. 356, 1620–1630 (2007). Compared to atorvastatin therapy alone, the combination of torcetrapib with atorvastatin did not further reduce carotid atherosclerosis but was associated with progression of atherosclerosis in the common carotid segment among 850 patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia, despite a significant 50% elevation in HDL-C levels.

Torcetrapib in combination with atorvastatin versus atorvastatin alone did not affect carotid atherosclerosis progression despite a 63% increase in HDL-C and 18% decrease in LDL-C.
