Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of MCI-196 over placebo and non-inferiority with simvastatin in reducing serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol in subjects with chronic kidney disease Stage V on dialysis. This study incorporates a Washout Period and two treatment periods - an active comparison phase and a placebo-controlled withdrawal phase.

Interventions

Tablets of 3 g to 12 g/day (3 times a day) with dose escalation design during 16 weeks of Active Comparison Phase, and 4 weeks of fixed dose during Withdrawal Phase (Week 16 to Week 20)

Tablets once a day, for 16 weeks of Active Comparison Phase, and 4 weeks of fixed dose during Withdrawal Phase (Week 16 to Week 20)

DRUGSimvastatin

Tablets of 10 mg to 40 mg/day (once a day) with dose escalation design during 16 weeks of Active Comparison Phase, and 4 weeks of fixed dose during Withdrawal Phase (Week 16 to Week 20)

DRUGPlacebo of MCI-196

Tablets 3 times a day for 16 weeks of Active Comparison Phase, and 4 weeks of fixed dose during Withdrawal Phase (Week 16 to Week 20)
