Outcome results

Primary

Change in Total Cholesterol (TC), High Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (HDL-C), Low Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (LDL-C) and Triglycerides (TG) Levels From Baseline to Week-6

Mean Absolute change in lipid profile parameters (TC, HDL-C, LDL-C and TG) calculated by the mean level for each parameter at week 6 minus the mean level at baseline.

Time frame: Baseline,6 weeks

Population: The analysis was done on the Per Protocol Population which consists of all participants who did not violate inclusion/ exclusion criteria, completed the treatment study phase or withdrew from the study due to progression, death, or toxicity (AE related to study drug) and had at least one key response evaluation.
