简要总结
The primary purpose of this placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) efficacy and dose-response of gemcabene 300, 600 and 900 mg/day administered as monotherapy or in combination with atorvastatin 10, 40, and 80 mg/day to hypercholesterolemic patients.
Secondary purposes include evaluating the effects of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB), and safety and efficacy of gemcabene monotherapy and gemcabene/atorvastatin combination.
