Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of subjects in entire group who achieved low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target of <115 mg/dL
Week 12
Secondary Outcomes (7)
Mean percent change from baseline in LDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), non-HDL-C (triglycerides of >200 mg/dL), total cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B for statin-naive patients
Weeks 6 and 12
Proportion of subjects across different LDL-C strata who achieved LDL-C target
Week 6
Proportion of diabetic subjects in entire group who achieved LDL-C target
Week 12
Proportion of subject on statin therapy at baseline who achieved LDL-C target and total cholesterol target (<190 mg/dL)
Week 12
Change from baseline in hemoglobin A1c levels
Week 12
- +2 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Previous Treatment with a Usual Maintenance Dose of a Statin
EXPERIMENTALStatin-Naive
EXPERIMENTALInterventions
In previously treated patients, starting atorvastatin doses (oral tablets given once daily) of 20 mg (in patients with LDL-C levels between 115 and 164 mg/dL at baseline) or 40 mg (in patients with LDL-C levels between 165 and 235 mg/dL at baseline) were given for 6 weeks. If LDL-C target was achieved at Week 6, doses remained the same. If LDL-C target was not achieved at Week 6, doses were doubled.

You may qualify if:
- Dyslipidemia
- At a high risk for coronary heart disease
You may not qualify if:
- Use of higher than usual maintenance doses of statin drugs at screening
