Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Primary Hypercholesterolemia
Interventions
Drug: Placebo of HS-25
Registration Number
NCT03413462
Lead Sponsor
Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd.
Brief Summary

To determine the efficacy of HS-25 (20mg) in reducing low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels after a 12-week period of treatment in adults with primary hypercholesterolemia;

To determine the safety of HS-25 (20mg) in subjects with LDL-C

Detailed Description

This is a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to assess the effects of the cholesterol absorption inhibitor HS-25 on LDL-C levels in adults who have untreated LDL-C levels ranging from 3.36-4.88mmol/L(130-189 mg/dL)and fasting triglyceride levels \< 350 mg/dL. Eligibility is restricted to 18-75 years old men or women who are using a highly effective birth control method or are not of childbearing potential. Patients with diabetes, a history of myocardial infarction or other clinical evidence of atherosclerotic vascular disease are not eligible for participation in the study.
