Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare the dose response and safety of Niacin ERLovastatin Niaspan and Lovastatin with each other in subjects with leg pain caused by a narrowing of their leg arteries

At least 870 subjects with leg pain caused by a narrowing of their leg arteries will take part in this study

Both Niaspan and lovastatin Mevacor are approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration FDA to treat high cholesterol Niacin ERLovastatin Advicor a combination of these two drugs is also approved by the FDA to treat high cholesterol The use of Niacin ERLovastatin to treat narrowing of leg arteries and relieve intermittent claudication leg pain caused by narrowing of the arteries in the leg is considered investigational An investigational use is one that is not approved by the FDA
Detailed Description: This is a Phase 3 32-week double-blind diet-intervention randomized parallel group ten-arm multi-center multi-national dose titration study evaluating the safety and efficacy of NL in patients with intermittent claudication IC

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NL in patients with IC The primary efficacy analysis will be the percent change from baseline in Peak Walking Time PWT calculated from the natural logarithm of the ratio of the time walked on treadmill at the Week 32 Visit divided by the time walked at baseline Other efficacy measures will include Claudication Onset Time COT percent changes from baseline to Week 32 changes in Ankle Brachial Index ABI Quality of Life QoL percent changes at Weeks 20 and 32 lower limb amputations composite of cardiovascular events MI stroke and vascular death and coronary and peripheral artery revascularizations Safety variables will include serum transaminases routine chemistry parameters hematology and adverse events Pharmacokinetic analyses will be conducted as well
