Study & Design
- Study Type
- Interventional
- Study Design
- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in mean particle sizes of small dense LDL (sdLDL)-C and LDL-C<br>Primary timeframe: 8 weeks<br>Change in mean particle sizes of sdLDL-C and LDL-C collected at Week 8 or final visit relative to baseline. SdLDL is one kind of lipoproitein which is a small particle with the mean diameter of =<25.5 nm.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1)Change from Baseline in Mean Concentration of Chylomicrons, Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), Low density lipoprotein (LDL), and High density lipoprotein (HDL) for major lipid constituents<br>2)Change from Baseline in Mean Concentration of fatty acids and sdLDL-C in total lipids<br>3)Change in concentration and particle number of lipids, apoprotein and lipoprotein in the blood<br>Secondary timeframe: 8 weeks<br>1) Change at Week 4 and Week 8 from baseline in mean concentration of major lipid constituents calculated for each major lipid constituents. The major lipid constituents include 4 Classes which are Chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, and HDL. 2) Change at Week 4 and Week 8 from baseline in mean concentration of fatty acids and sdLDL-C in total lipids calculated. 3) Change at Week 4 and Week 8 from baseline in mean concentration and particle number of lipids, apoprotein and lipoprotein in the blood calculated.
