MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess long-term safety and tolerability of pitavastatin 4 mg QD. To assess the efficacy of pitavastatin (4 mg) and atorvastatin (20 mg and 40 mg QD)in terms of LDL-C target attainment (European Atherosclerosis Society [EAS] and National Cholesterol Education Program [NCEP]) following 16 weeks and 44 weeks of treatment in this study (equivalent to 24 and 52 weeks total 4 mg pitavastatin treatment, respectively) using an up titration regimen for atorvastatin only.;Secondary Objective: To assess the efficacy of pitavastatin (4 mg QD) and atorvastatin (20 mg, and 40 mg QD) on LDL-C levels and on other lipid and lipoprotein fractions (TC, HDL-C, TC: HDL-C ratio, TG, apolipoprotein A1 and B [Apo A1 and Apo-B], Apo-B:ApoA1 ratio, high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs CRP), adiponectin, small-dense LDL, remnant-like-particle cholesterol [RLP-C], non HDL-HDL ratio and oxidized LDL).;Primary end point(s): The long-term safety and tolerability of pitavastatin 4 mg QD will be assessed. The efficacy of pitavastatin (4 mg) and atorvastatin (20 mg and 40 mg QD) in terms of LDL-C target attainment (European Atherosclerosis Society [EAS] and National Cholesterol Education Program [NCEP]) following 16 weeks and 44 weeks of treatment in this study (equivalent to 24 and 52 weeks total 4 mg pitavastatin treatment, respectively) using an up titration regimen for atorvastatin only, will be assessed.
