Brief summary

The primary purpose of this study is to test the effect and safety of three different doses of ABT-143 compared to simvastatin in subjects with elevated levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides.

Detailed description

There are 4 treatment groups in the study: ABT-143 capsules 20/135 mg, ABT-143 capsules 10/135 mg, ABT-143 5/135 mg, and simvastatin capsules 40 mg. The primary outcome measure only compares 2 of these groups: ABT-143 capsules 20/135 mg and the simvastatin capsules 40 mg groups, therefore there are only results for these 2 groups and not all 4 groups for this outcome measure . Secondary outcome measure (mean percent change in LDL-C comparing ABT-143 capsules 10/135 mg to simvastatin capsules 40 mg) only compares these 2 groups: ABT-143 capsules 10/135 mg and simvastatin capsules 40 mg, therefore there are only results for these 2 groups and not all 4 groups for this outcome measure. Secondary outcome measure (mean percent change in LDL-C comparing ABT-143 capsules 5/135 mg to simvastatin capsules 40 mg) only compares these 2 groups: ABT-143 capsules 5/135 mg and simvastatin capsules 40 mg, therefore there are only results for these 2 groups and not all 4 groups for this outcome measure. For the other pre-specified outcome measures, median percent change in triglycerides from baseline to the final visit and mean percent change in HDL-C from baseline to the final visit for the full analysis sets, all 3 ABT-143 capsules 20/135 mg, 10/135 mg, and 5/135 mg groups were compared to the simvastatin capsules 40 mg group, therefore there are results for all 4 treatment groups for these outcome measures.

Outcome results

Primary

Mean Percent Change From Baseline to the Final Visit in Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) (Full Analysis Set)

The mean percent change from Baseline to the Final Visit in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, comparing the following two treatment groups: ABT-143 capsules 20/135 milligrams versus simvastatin capsules 40 milligrams for the full analysis set.

Time frame: Baseline to 8 weeks

Population: Full Analysis Set was used and defined as all randomized participants who had both a baseline value and at least 1 post-baseline value for LDL-C. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used to impute values for participants missing a post-baseline visit value. Only post-baseline values were carried forward.
