Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C)
Baseline; Week 12

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.

Secondary Endpoints
Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein (hsCRP)
Baseline; Week 12
Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Non-high-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (Non-HDL-C)
Baseline; Week 12
Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Total Cholesterol (TC)
