Fibric Acid Derivatives
Indications: Adjunctive therapy to diet
Hypertriglyceridemia (Type IV and V)
Combined hyperlipidemia (Type IIb) with low HDL
who do not respond to NA
Mechanism of Action: Increases peripheral lipolysis and decreases hepatic
TG production
Efficacy: Decreases TG 25-50%
LDL decreases, remains the same or increases
Increases HDL 15-25% in hypertriglyceridemia
Side Effects: GI upset (8%), cholelithiasis, myositis, abn LFTs
Contraindications: Hepatic or renal dysfunction
Pre-existing gallbladder disease
Intervention Trials: Helsinki Heart Study, LOCAT, BECAIT, VA-HIT, BIP

Helsinki Heart Study
 Primary-prevention, placebo-controlled trial to determine
whether increasing HDL-C levels and decreasing LDL-C
levels would reduce incidence
of CHD
 4,081 dyslipidemic men, aged 40–55 y
 Subjects randomized to gemfibrozil (600 mg BID) or
placebo
 Study duration: 5 y

Angiographic and Clinical Event Trials
Summary
 In angiographic trials, benefits were related to
reductions in LDL-C (apoB-100) and increases in
HDL-C (apoA-I).
 Fibrates have shown benefits in patients with:
 High TG and low HDL-C (Helsinki, BIP)
 Normal LDL-C and low HDL-C (VA-HIT)
 Statins have consistently shown the greatest
benefits in patients with low HDL-C and average
LDL-C (CARE, LIPID, AFCAPS/TexCAPS) or high LDLC (4S, WOSCOPS).
