Primary Endpoint
Comparison of the rosuvastatin therapy (10mg daily, titrated to 20mg at 12 weeks if necessary), alone or in combination with enhanced compliance initiatives, at 6 months, in bringing subjects with prim. hypercholesterolaemia to the EAS LDL-C target goals

Study Overview

Brief Summary

24 week open label study to compare the treatment either with rosuvastatin or rosuvastatin plus initiatives to improve compliance. If the subject does not reach the EAS LDL-C treatment goal at week 12, rosuvastatin will be titrated from 10mg to 20mg.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Comparison of the rosuvastatin therapy (10mg daily, titrated to 20mg at 12 weeks if necessary), alone or in combination with enhanced compliance initiatives, at 6 months, in bringing subjects with prim. hypercholesterolaemia to the EAS LDL-C target goals

Secondary Outcomes

  • To investigate the effect of rosuvastatin, both with and without compliance initiatives on number and percentage of subjects within the EAS or local LDL-C and TC target goals after 12 week therapy,
  • Safety of treatment.
