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

Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Samples were collected and analyzed for LDL-C. Baseline was defined as the average of LDL-C values at the Screening Visit 3 (Visit S3) and the Treatment Visit 1 (Visit T1) (last 2 non-missing values on or prior to Day 1). If only 1 value was available, the single value was used as Baseline. Percent change from Baseline for LDL-C was analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), with treatment as factor and Baseline lipid parameter as a covariate. Missing data for LDL-C was imputed using the last observation carried forward (LOCF) method. 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 a measured LDL-C value was available, measured LDL-C was used.
