Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Calculated Low-Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (LDL-C)Baseline; 12 weeks

Percent change from Baseline was calculated as the (\[post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value\] divided by the Baseline value) x 100. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values from Weeks -1 and 0. Least square (LS) mean percent change from Baseline to Week 12 was based on an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with effects of treatment and triglyceride (TG) stratum and Baseline value as a covariate. Missing LDL-C values at Week 12 were imputed using the last observation carried forward (LOCF) procedure (only post-Baseline values were carried forward).

Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in LDL-C by Triglyceride (TG) StratumBaseline; 12 weeks

Percent change from Baseline was calculated as the (\[post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value\] divided by the Baseline value) x 100. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values from Weeks -1 and 0. LS mean percent change from Baseline to Week 12 was based on an ANCOVA model with effects of treatment and center and Baseline value as a covariate. Missing LDL-C values at Week 12 were imputed using the LOCF procedure (only post-Baseline values were carried forward).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Missing values at Week 12 were imputed using the LOCF procedure (only post-Baseline values were carried forward).

Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in High-Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (HDL-C)Baseline; 12 weeks
