入选标准

  • Each potential patient must satisfy all inclusion criteria to be enrolled in the study. Selected inclusion criteria are listed below; all inclusion criteria are listed in the protocol body.
  • 1. Provision of written informed consent prior to any study-specific procedure
  • 2. Age =18 years or legal age of majority based on regional law, whichever is greater, at Week -5 (Visit S1)
  • 3. Fasting (minimum of 10 hours) calculated LDL-C at Week -5 (Visit S1) as defined by ezetimibe use at screening:
  • For patients who have been taking ezetimibe 10 mg daily prior to Week -5 (Visit S1): Fasting LDL-C =100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L) on stable background lipid-modifying therapy (LMT; greater than or equal to 4 weeks prior to screening).
  • For patients who have not been taking ezetimibe Week -5 (Visit S1): Fasting LDL-C =120 mg/dL (3.1 mmol/L) on stable background LMT (greater than or equal to 4 weeks prior to screening).
  • All patients must have fasting LDL-C =70 mg/dL (1.8 mmol/L) at Week -1 (Visit S3).
  • 4. Currently receiving stable (greater than or equal to 4 weeks prior to screening) background statin dose that does not exceed low dose statin therapy.
  • Note: Patients must report attempting greater than low dose statin therapy and being unable to tolerate it due to an adverse safety effect that started or increased during statin therapy and resolved or improved when statin therapy was discontinued or the dose lowered. Low dose statin therapy is defined as
  • an average daily dose of rosuvastatin 5 mg, atorvastatin 10 mg,
  • simvastatin 10 mg, lovastatin 20 mg, pravastatin 40 mg, fluvastatin 40 mg, or pitavastatin 2 mg.
  • Very low dose statin therapy is defined as an average daily dose of rosuvastatin <5 mg, atorvastatin <10 mg, simvastatin <10 mg,
  • lovastatin <20 mg, pravastatin <40 mg, fluvastatin <40 mg, or
  • pitavastatin <2 mg. Patients on ezetimibe and low or very low dose statin or unable to tolerate any statin at any dose are also eligible.
  • Patients may continue taking low or very low dose statin therapy
  • throughout the study provided that it is stable (greater than or equal to 4 weeks) and well tolerated. Patients unable to take
  • any dose of statins are also eligible provided that statin therapy has been attempted.
  • 5. Men and nonpregnant, nonlactating women. Women must be either
  • Naturally postmenopausal defined as =1 year without menses and
  • - =55 years, or
  • - <55 years with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) =40.0 IU/L, or
  • Surgically sterile including hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, and/or tubal ligation, or
  • Women of childbearing potential willing to use 2 acceptable method of birth control (unless they have agreed to follow the definition of true abstinence). The minimal requirement for adequate contraception should be started on Day 1, continuing during the study period and for at least 30 days after the last dose of study drug. Acceptable methods of birth
  • control include:
  • -oral, implantable, injectable, or topical birth control medications
  • - oral, implantable, or topical birth control medications
  • - placement of an intrauterine device with or without hormones
  • - barrier methods including condom or occlusive cap with spermicidal foam or spermicidal jelly
  • - vasectomized male partner who is the sole partner for this patient
  • - True abstinence: When this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence [eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods], declaration of abstinence
