To test the hypothesis that patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease optimally treated on a statin but with residual atherogenic dyslipidemia (low HDL-C and high triglycerides) will benefit from addition of niacin with fewer CV events compared with placebo. Statin monotherapy trials have found 25–40% CV risk reduction relative to placebo, leaving significant residual risk. Patients with atherogenic dyslipidemia have substantially increased CV risk. Participants were men and women with established CV disease and atherogenic dyslipidemia. Lipid entry criteria varied by gender and statin dose at screening. All participants received simvastatin (or simvastatin plus ezetimibe) at a dose sufficient to maintain LDL-C 40 - 80 mg/dL (1.03 – 2.07 mmol/L). Participants were randomized to extended-release niacin or matching placebo. The primary end-point was time to occurrence of the first of: coronary heart disease death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome, or symptom-driven coronary or cerebral revascularization. This event-driven trial will have 85% power to show a 25% reduction in primary event frequency after 850 patients have experienced a primary outcome event. AIM-HIGH completed enrollment in April 2010. Follow-up is expected to continue through 2012. AIM-HIGH was designed to determine whether treating residual dyslipidemia with niacin further reduces cardiovascular events in patients with CVD on a statin at target levels of LDL-C.
