         [1018]     The conversion of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) to mevalonate is an early and rate-limiting step in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway. This step is catalyzed by the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase. Statins inhibit HMG-CoA reductase from catalyzing this conversion.

         [1021]     Given the positive correlation between lipid modulation and lipid fraction modulation in blood with the development of various disease/conditions such as cardiovascular and cerebral vascular diseases, the compounds/combinations of this invention and the salts of such compounds, by virtue of their pharmacologic action, are useful for the prevention, arrestment and/or treatment of disease states/conditions as described above. These include cardiovascular disorders and complications due to cardiovascular disease. In particular, given the correlation between HDL modulation and the disease/conditions described above the CETP compounds described herein and combinations thereof by virtue of their HDL modulating pharmacologic action (e.g., HDL elevation) are useful for the prevention, arrestment and/or treatment of the disease states/conditions as described above.  
         [1022]     The utility of the compounds/combinations of the invention and the salts of such compounds as medical agents in the treatment of the above described disease/conditions in mammals (e.g. humans, male or female) is demonstrated by the activity of the compounds of this invention in conventional assays (e.g., in vivo assays, in vitro assays) known to those skilled in the art including those described herein. In particular, the PLASMA LIPIDS ASSAY described below may be used to determine the level of HDL modulation for a given compound/combination and thus its therapeutic impact for the disease/conditions described above. Such assays also provide a means whereby the activities of the compounds/combinations of this invention and the salts of such compounds (or the other agents described herein) can be compared to each other and with the activities of other known compounds. The results of these comparisons are useful for determining dosage levels in mammals, including humans, for the treatment of such diseases. For example, the characterization of the impact of of the compounds/combinations of this invention and the salts of such compounds (or the other agents described herein) on various lipid fractions can be determined by methods known in the art as are described in Methods in Enzymology, Vol. 129: Plasma Lipoproteins, Pt. B: Characterization, Cell Biology, and Metabolism. Albers, John J.; Segrest, Jere P.; Editors. USA. (1986), (Academic Press, Orlando, Fla.) and Methods in Enzymology, Vol. 128: Plasma Lipoproteins, Pt. A: Preparation, Structure, and Molecular Biology. Segrest, Jere P.; Albers, John J.; Editors. USA. (1986), 992 pp. (Academic Press, Orlando, Fla.). In particular, the  PLASMA LIPIDS ASSAY  described below may be used to determine the level of HDL modulation for a given compound/combination and thus its therapeutic impact for the disease/conditions described above.  
         [1023]     The following are exemplary assays.  
       CETP In Vitro Asssay  
       [1024]     The following is a brief description of the assay of cholesteryl ester transfer in human plasma (in vitro) and animal plasma (ex vivo): CETP activity in the presence or absence of drug is assayed by determining the transfer of  3 H-labeled cholesteryl oleate (CO) from exogenous tracer HDL to the nonHDL lipoprotein fraction in human plasma, or from  3 H-labeled LDL to the HDL fraction in transgenic mouse plasma. Labeled human lipoprotein substrates are prepared similarly to the method described by Morton in which the endogenous CETP activity in plasma is employed to transfer  3 H—CO from phospholipid liposomes to all the lipoprotein fractions in plasma.  3 H-labeled LDL and HDL are subsequently isolated by sequential ultracentrifugation at the density cuts of 1.019-1.063 and 1.10-1.21 g/ml, respectively. For the activity assay,  3 H-labeled lipoprotein is added to plasma at 10-25 nmoles CO/ml and the samples incubated at 37° C. for 2.5-3 hrs. Non—HDL lipoproteins are then precipitated by the addition of an equal volume of 20% (wt/vol) polyethylene glycol 8000 (Dias). The samples are centrifuged 750 g×20 minutes and the radioactivity contained in the HDL containing supernatant determined by liquid scintillation. Introducing varying quantities of the compounds of this invention as a solution in dimethylsulfoxide to human plasma, before addition of the radiolabeled cholesteryl oleate, and comparing the relative amounts of radiolabel transferred allows relative cholesteryl ester transfer inhibitory activities to be determined.  
       CETP In Vivo Asssay  
       [1025]     Activity of these compounds in vivo can be determined by the amount of agent required to be administered, relative to control, to inhibit cholesteryl ester transfer activity by 50% at various time points ex vivo or to elevate HDL cholesterol by a given percentage in a CETP-containing animal species. Transgenic mice expressing both human CETP and human apolipoprotein Al (Charles River, Boston, MA) may be used to assess compounds in vivo. The compounds to be examined are administered by oral gavage in an emulsion vehicle containing olive oil and sodium taurocholate. Blood is taken from mice retroorbitally before dosing. At various times after dosing, ranging from 4 h to 24 h, the animals are sacrificed, blood obtained by heart puncture, and lipid parameters measured, including total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. CETP activity is determined by a method similar to that described above except that  3 H-cholesteryl oleate containing LDL is used as the donor source as opposed to HDL. The values obtained for lipids and transfer activity are compared to those obtained prior to dosing and/or to those from mice receiving vehicle alone.  
       Plasma Lipids Assay  
       [1026]     The activity of these compounds may also be demonstrated by determining the amount of agent required to alter plasma lipid levels, for example HDL cholesterol levels, LDL cholesterol levels, VLDL cholesterol levels or triglycerides, in the plasma of certain mammals, for example marmosets that possess CETP activity and a plasma lipoprotein profile similar to that of humans (Crook et al. Arteriosclerosis 10, 625, 1990). Adult marmosets are assigned to treatment groups so that each group has a similar mean ±SD for total, HDL, and/or LDL plasma cholesterol concentrations. After group assignment, marmosets are dosed daily with compound as a dietary admix or by intragastric intubation for from one to eight days. Control marmosets receive only the dosing vehicle. Plasma total, LDL, VLDL and HDL cholesterol values can be determined at any point during the study by obtaining blood from an antecubital vein and separating plasma lipoproteins into their individual subclasses by density gradient centrifugation, and by measuring cholesterol concentration as previously described (Crook et al. Arteriosclerosis 10, 625, 1990).  
         [1027]     Conventional clinical designs and methods of modifying those clinical protocols to facilitate the testing of the compounds/combinations of this invention and the salts of such compounds (or the other agents described herein) for the various disease/conditions described above are known to those skilled in the art.  
         [1028]     For example, in such clinical studies levels of atherosclerotic plaque can be measured by various imaging techniques e.g., Intracardiac ultrasound (ICE), quantitative coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) including coronary intravascular ultrasound, corotid intimal medial thickness (CIMT) measurement, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance coronary angiography, flow-mediated dilatation, positron emission tomography, multislice computed tomography, electron beam computed tomography (EBT), mechanical multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT), echo cardiography, coronary angiography, radiography and radionucleotide imaging.  
         [1029]     These imaging techniques and the interpretation of them are known and are further described in for example, “Measurement of Subclinical Atherosclerosis:beyond risk factor assessment”, Current Opinion in Lipidology 13, 595-603 (2002); “A Comparison of Intravascular, Ultrasound With Coronary Angiography for Evaluation of Transplant Coronary Disease in Pediatric Heart Transplant Recipients”, Journal of Heart &amp; Lung Transplantation 22, 44-49 (2003); and “Assessment of Calcium Scoring Performance in Cardiac Computed Tomography”, European Radiology 13, 484-97 (2003).  
         [1030]     The compounds of the present invention are generally administered in the form of a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one of the compounds of this invention together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. Thus, the compounds of this invention can be administered either individually or together in any conventional oral, parenteral or transdermal dosage form.  
         [1031]     For oral administration a pharmaceutical composition can take the form of solutions, suspensions, tablets, pills, capsules, powders, and the like. Tablets containing various excipients such as sodium citrate, calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate are employed along with various disintegrants such as starch and preferably potato or tapioca starch and certain complex silicates, together with binding agents such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, gelatin and acacia. Additionally, lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate and talc are often very useful for tablenfing purposes. Solid compositions of a similar type are also employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules; preferred materials in this connection also include lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols. When aqueous suspensions and/or elixirs are desired for oral administration, the compounds of this invention can be combined with various sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents, emulsifying agents and/or suspending agents, as well as such diluents as water, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin and various like combinations thereof.  
         [1032]     The combinations of this invention may also be adminstered in a controlled release formulation such as a slow release or a fast release formulation. Such controlled release formulations of the combination of this invention may be prepared using methods well known to those skilled in the art. The method of adminstration will be determined by the attendant physician or other person skilled in the art after an evaluation of the subject&#39;s condition and requirements. The generally preferred formulation of amlodipine is Norvasc®.  
         [1033]     Many of the CETP inhibitors of this invention are poorly soluble and a dosage form that increases solubility facilitates the administration of such compounds. One such dosage form is a dosage form comprising (1) a solid amorphous dispersion comprising a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor and an acidic concentration-enhancing polymer; and (2) an acid-sensitive HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. This dosage form is more fully described in U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60/435345 filed on Dec. 20, 2002 and entitled “Dosage Forms Comprising a CETP Inhibitor and an HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor” the specification of which is hereby incorporated by reference.  
         [1034]     The compounds of this invention either alone or in combination with each other or other compounds generally will be administered in a convenient formulation. The following formulation examples only are illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.  
         [1035]     Combination tablets of amlodipine besylate, torcetrapib, and atorvastatin hemicalcium were prepared at a scale of ˜1 kg according to the procedure immediately following the Table. The doses prepared and the composition of the tablets are detailed in the following Table.

         [1036]     A separate granulation or blend of each active component was prepared initially and these three powder mixtures were combined in different proportions to provide the desired dose combinations.  
         [1037]     The atorvastatin hemicalcium granulation was prepared by making a solution of the hydroxypropyl cellulose and polysorbate 80 in water. The remaining components (except magnesium stearate) were then charged to a fluid bed granulator and wet-granulated with the binder solution by fluidizing them in a warm air stream (30-60 C) while spraying the binder solution onto the powders in the granulator. After all the binder solution had been sprayed the granules were dried in the fluidized bed, and milled to remove any large (&gt;1 mm) agglomerates. The granules were lubricated by blending them with magnesium stearate.  
         [1038]     A dispersion of torcetrapib in the polymer hypromellose (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) acetate succinate was made by dissolving both components in acetone and spray drying (see U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60/435,345) the resulting solution in conventional spray drying equipment. The torcetrapib granulation was made by blending the resulting spray dried dispersion, microcrystalline cellulose, crospovidone, and magnesium stearate together and dry granulating the powder blend by roller compaction. Standard pharmaceutical roller compaction equipment and operating conditions were used. The resulting compacted ribbons were milled to produce granules suitable for further processing. The calcium phosphate and magnesium stearate were added and blended with the granules to create the final lubricated torcetrapib blend.  
         [1039]     The amlodipine besylate was simply blended with its excipients to produce a lubricated amlodipine powder blend.  
         [1040]     The three active granulations/blends were blended together in the desired proportions using a low-shear twin-shell blender and tableted using a single punch eccentric tablet press.  
         [1041]     Administration of the compounds of this invention can be via any method which delivers a compound of this invention systemically and/or locally. These methods include oral routes, parenteral, intraduodenal routes, etc. Generally, the compounds of this invention are administered orally, but parenteral administration (e.g., intraveneous, intramuscular, subcutaneous or intramedullary) may be utilized, for example, where oral administration is inappropriate for the target or where the patient is unable to ingest the drug.  
         [1042]     These methods and combinations are useful depending on the indication/condition to treat mammals including humans. In addition, they are useful to advantageously and/or selectively treat a variety of patient subgroups including males, females, the elderly (&gt;60), infants (&lt;2), pediatrics, diabetics (Type I and/or II), patients without a history of coronary events (i.e. primary prevention), patients who have had at least one coronary event (i.e., secondary prevention), patients who have had a cerebrovascular event (e.g., stroke or transient ischemic event), patients with total cholesterol above 250, patients with total cholesterol above 200, patients with total cholesterol below 200, patients with HDL&lt;30/40/50/60, patients with high HDL, different ethnic subpopulations (africans, turkish, hispanics, asians), woman ±HRT (pre/post menopausal), smokers, patients with low HDL due to diet, patients with secondary reductions in HDL due to other medications (e.g., androgen agonists), patients with peripheral vascular disease, patients with normal HDL-C e.g., between 40 and 60 mg/dec, stroke patients without a history of coronary heart disease (with or without abnormal cholesterol levels), patients with metabolic syndrome, patients with the apo-E4 allele, patients with BMI greater than 30, and obese patients.  
         [1043]     In general an amount of a compound(s)/combination(s) of this invention is used that is sufficient to achieve the therapeutic effect desired (e.g., HDL elevation). The amount will, of course, be dependent on the subject being treated, on the severity of the affliction, on the manner of administration and on the judgement of the prescribing physician.  
         [1044]     In general an effective dosage for the CETP inhibitors of this invention, their prodrugs and the salts of such compounds and progrugs is in the range of about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg/day, preferably about 0.1 to about 5 mg/kg/day.  
         [1045]     An especially preferred dosage of [2R,4S]-4-[(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-methoxycarbonyl-amino]-2-ethyl-6-trifluoromethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-quinoline-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (torcetrapib) is about 15 mg per day to about 240 mg per day, preferably about 30 mg per day to about 120 mg per day. The dosage may be administered in single or multiple dosages (e.g., bid).  
         [1046]     A dosage of the combination pharmaceutical agents (e.g., antihypertensive agents, statins) to be used in conjunction with the CETP inhibitors is used that is effective for the indication being treated.  
         [1047]     For example, typically an effective dosage for HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors is in the range of about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg/day.  
         [1048]     For example, typically an effective dosage for atorvastatin calcium (known as atorvastatin hemicalcium or LIPITOR) or other salts of atorvastatin is about 10 mg to about 80 mg per day (e.g., 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg 80 mg).  
         [1049]     For example, typically an effective dosage for antihypertensives is in the range of about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg/day.  
         [1050]     For example, typically an effective dosage of amlodipine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., amlodipine besylate, amlodipine mesylate) is in the range of about 5 mg to about 10 mg per day.  
         [1051]     An exemplary dosage for the triple combination of amlodipine and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., amlodipine besylate)/atorvastatin and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., atorvastatin hemicalcium)/ and [2R,4S]-4-[(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-methoxycarbonyl-amino]-2-ethyl-6-trifluoromethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-quinoline-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (torcetrapib) is in the range of 5-10 mg per day/10-80 mg per day/30-120 mg per day.  
         [1052]     For purposes of parenteral administration, solutions in sesame or peanut oil or in aqueous propylene glycol can be employed, as well as sterile aqueous solutions of the corresponding water-soluble salts. Such aqueous solutions may be suitably buffered, if necessary, and the liquid diluent first rendered isotonic with sufficient saline or glucose. These aqueous solutions are especially suitable for intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous and intraperitoneal injection purposes. In this connection, the sterile aqueous media employed are all readily obtainable by standard techniques well-known to those skilled in the art.  
         [1053]     Methods of preparing various pharmaceutical compositions with a certain amount of active ingredient are known, or will be apparent in light of this disclosure, to those skilled in this art. For examples, see  Reminqton&#39;s Pharmaceutical Sciences,  Mack Publishing Company, Easter, Pa., 15th Edition (1975).  
         [1054]     Pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention may contain 0.1%-95% of the compound(s) of this invention, preferably 1%-70%. In any event, the composition or formulation to be administered will contain a quantity of a compound(s) according to the invention in an amount effective to treat the condition or disease of the subject being treated.  
         [1055]     Since the present invention relates to the treatment of diseases and conditions with a combination of active ingredients which may be administered separately, the invention also relates to combining separate pharmaceutical compositions in kit form. The kit includes two separate pharmaceutical compositions: amlodipine or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof and a statin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The kit includes container means for containing the separate compositions such as a divided bottle or a divided foil packet, however, the separate compositions may also be contained within a single, undivided container. Typically the kit includes directions for the administration of the separate components. The kit form is particularly advantageous when the separate components are preferably administered in different dosage forms (e.g., oral and parenteral), are administered at different dosage intervals, or when titration of the individual components of the combination is desired by the prescribing physician.  
         [1056]     It should be understood that the invention is not limited to the particular embodiments described herein, but that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this novel concept as defined by the following claims.
