Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Fasting Serum Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12
Number of Patients With Clinical Adverse Experiences (CAEs) Through 24 Weeks
Time Frame: 24 Week last patient last visit
An adverse experience is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR'S (Merck \& Co., Inc.) product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product

Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12
Standard Deviation (Robust): calculated as interquartile range (IQR)/1.075, where IQR=3rd quartile-1st quartile.
