Further study details as provided by LifeCycle Pharma A/S:

Primary Outcome Measures:

The primary endpoints are the mean percent changes in non-HDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, TG levels from the double-blind baseline (Week 0) to end-of-treatment (Week 52), and from the open-label baseline (Visit 1) to Week 52 (Visit 8). [ Time Frame: 52 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Number (percentage) of subjects at end-of-treatment (Visit 8; Week 52) who achieve the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) goal of non-HDL cholesterol of 30 mg/dL higher than the LDL cholesterol. [ Time Frame: 52 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment:	220
Study Start Date:	October 2007
Estimated Study Completion Date:	February 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	February 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Single: Experimental Open-label LCP-AtorFen	Drug: LCP-AtorFen All subjects will be assigned to receive open-label LCP-AtorFen combination therapy for 52 weeks. Subjects will take a single oral dose of study drug in the evening without regard to meals.

Detailed Description:

POPULATION:

Subjects with mixed dyslipidemia (non-HDL cholesterol > 130 mg/dL and TG ≥ 150 mg/dL and ≤ 500 mg/dL) who completed the double-blind study (LCP-AtorFen-2001; NCT00504829), met the enrollment criteria (all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria), and elected to enter the open-label extension study.

STUDY DESIGN AND DURATION:

This is a 52-week, open-label, single-treatment arm with 8 visits (Weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 52). A maximum of approximately 200 subjects will enter this open-label safety and efficacy extension study from the LCP AtorFen-2001 double-blind study. All subjects enrolled in this study will receive open-label LCP-AtorFen combination therapy. Visit 1 of the extension study corresponds to the last visit of the double-blind study (Visit 6 or Week 12).

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:	Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No

Exclusion Criteria:

Study drug compliance <70% in the double-blind study.
Any ongoing serious adverse event, or any ongoing non-serious moderate or severe adverse event from the double-blind study that is rated as possibly, probably or definitely related to study drug.
Resting blood pressure >/=160 mm Hg systolic and/or >/=100 mm Hg diastolic.
Symptoms of unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness (i.e., signs indicative of possible myopathy), or any diagnosis of myopathy or rhabdomyolysis.
Any clinically significant change in physical exam or electrocardiogram from Visit 2 to Visit 6 of the double-blind study.
Any clinically significant change from Visit 1 to Visit 6 of the double-blind study in medical history including, but not limited to: a diagnosis of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DM); poorly controlled DM; poorly controlled hypertension; significant renal, pulmonary, hepatic, biliary, or gastrointestinal disease; cancer (except non-melanoma skin cancer); and epilepsy.
Unwilling to abstain from medications, supplements, ingredients and herbal therapies that were excluded in the double-blind study and continue to be excluded in the open-label study.
Women who are pregnant, planning to be pregnant during the study period, lactating, or women of childbearing potential (not surgically sterilized between menarche and menopause) who are not using a medically approved method of contraception.
Other exclusion conditions might apply.
