| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome name:The endpoint value is defined as the last post-baseline measurement during the double-blind treatment period of 12 weeks, without taking into account whether the patient took the study drug during that period. Measure:Percentage change from the LDL-C baseline to the final point after 12 weeks of treatment Timepoints:12 weeks | — |
