Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of Participants who Achieve Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) goal (High-risk <100 mg/dL; Moderate-high and High risk <130 mg/dL) [ Time Frame: Week 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Change in LDL-C level From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Number of High-risk Participants who Achieve an LDL-C < 70 mg/dL [ Time Frame: Week 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in Serum LDL From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in Total Cholesterol From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in High-density lipoprotein (HDL) From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in Serum Triglycerides (TG) From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in Serum Non-HDL From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in LDL-C/HDL-C Ratio From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Number of Participants who Achieve non-HDL-C goal (High-risk <100 mg/dL; Moderate-high and High risk <160 mg/dL)) [ Time Frame: Week 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
