| NCT03337308 | A Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Bempedoic Acid Plus Ezetimibe Fixed-Dose Combination Compared to Bempedoic Acid, Ezetimibe, and Placebo in Patients Treated With Maximally Tolerated Statin Therapy | PHASE3 | COMPLETED | 382 | — | — | Oct 23, 2017 | Jul 18, 2018 | Apr 8, 2020 | 5 | United States |
Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast (water was allowed) at pre-specified intervals. Samples were collected and analyzed for LDL-C. Baseline was defined as the mean of the LDL-C values from Week -2 and predose Day 1/Week 0. Percent change from baseline in LDL-C was analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with treatment group and randomization stratification as a factors and baseline LDL-C as a covariate. Percent change from baseline was calculated as: (\[LDL-C value at Week 12 minus Baseline value\] divided by \[Baseline Value\]) multiplied by 100. For LDL-C, if measured LDL-C value was available, measured LDL-C was used.
