Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Percentage Change From Baseline in Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C)
Baseline (predose) and Week 4

Blood collected at baseline (predose) and after 4 weeks of treatment to determine LDL-C levels. LDL-C was calculated using the Friedewald equation. If triglycerides (TG) exceeded 400 mg/dL (4.6 mmol/L), LDL-C was determined by reflex beta-quantitation method. The percentage change from baseline at Week 4 was summarized.

Secondary Endpoints
Percentage of Participants Who Experience at Least 1 Adverse Event (AE)
Up to 14 days post last dose of study drug (up to 6 weeks)
Percentage of Participants That Had Study Drug Discontinued Due to an AE
up to 4 weeks
Percentage Change From Baseline in Non-High-Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (Non-HDL-C)
