Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of pitavastatin 1 mg QD, 2 mg QD, and 4 mg QD to placebo in terms of the percentage reduction in LDL-C in children or adolescent patients with high-risk hyperlipidaemia at steady state (Week 12).;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of this study are the following: • To compare the efficacy of pitavastatin 1 mg QD, 2 mg QD, and 4 mg QD to placebo in terms of the change or percent change in secondary lipid parameters in children and adolescent patients with high-risk hyperlipidaemia over 12 weeks; • To measure PK parameters at each dose level; and • To compare the safety and tolerability of pitavastatin 1 mg QD, 2 mg QD, and 4 mg QD to placebo in children and adolescent patients with high-risk hyperlipidaemia over 12 weeks.;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint of this study is the percent change in LDL-C from baseline to Week 12 endpoint.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: see above

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Percent change in LDL-C from baseline over 12 weeks of treatment (Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12); • Percentages of patients who achieve AHA minimal (130 mg/dL [3.4 mmol/L]) and ideal (110 mg/dL [2.8 mmol/L]) LDL-C targets over 12 weeks of treatment; • Percent changes in HDL-C, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), TC, TG, apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1), and Apo B from baseline over 12 weeks of treatment; and • Changes in TC:HDL-C ratio, non-HDL-C:HDL-C ratio, and Apo B:Apo A1 ratio from baseline over 12 weeks of treatment.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: see above
