MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Evaluate the efficacy and dose response of once daily oral dosing of GW501516 (2.5 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg) versus placebo in percentage change from baseline in LDL-c levels after 12 Weeks of dosing in subjects with primary hypercholesterolemia on background statin therapy. ;Secondary Objective: • Evaluate the effect of once daily oral dosing of GW501516 (2.5 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg) versus placebo on fasting levels of TC, HDL-c, TG, apolipoproteins, ApoB and ApoAI, non-HDL-c, VLDL-c, FFA and an inflammatory marker hs-CRP during 12 weeks of dosing in subjects with primary hypercholesterolemia on background statin therapy. • Evaluate the safety and tolerability of once daily oral dosing of GW501516 (2.5 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg) versus placebo in subjects with primary hypercholesterolemia on background statin therapy. ;Primary end point(s): Primary and Secondary Endpoints: • Lipids: • LDL-C, HDL-C, TC, TG, non-HDL-C (calculated), VLDL-C and FFA • Apolipoproteins: • ApoB and ApoAI • Inflammatory markers • hs-CRP • Safety Analysis • ECGs • Physical Examination • Vital signs • Clinical Laboratory tests • Body weight • AE’s • Exploratory endpoints: • Lipid sub-fractions: (detailed in Section 5.2.3.1) • Inflammatory and metabolic biomarker endpoints including but not limited to novel biomarkers
