Brief summary

The main purpose of this study is to measure how much of the drug gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it when given once a day for 12, 24, and 52 weeks to participants with abnormal amounts of cholesterol and/or fat in the blood stream. Information about any side effects that may occur will also be collected. This study will also evaluate how the study drug reacts in the body when given once a day for 12, 24 and 52 weeks and how the body responds and returns to normal when the treatment is complete. The relationship between study drug and the results from the how the study drug reacts in the body may be explored, if needed.

Participant flow

Pre-assignment details

Participants were enrolled into 3 parallel cohorts. Each participant received a single dose, after which PK was evaluated for 7 days, and then continued receiving once daily doses for 12, 24, or 52 weeks. After the last once-daily dose, PK was again evaluated in each participant until the concentration of evacetrapib was too low to be measurable.
