Primary Outcome Measures:

The primary objectives of the study are to assess the non-HDL cholesterol and triglyceride lowering efficacy as well as the HDL cholesterol increasing efficacy of LCP AtorFen versus atorvastatin. [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

The secondary objectives of the study are to assess the non-HDL and LDL cholesterol lowering efficacy as well as the HDL cholesterol increasing efficacy of LCP-AtorFen versus fenofibrate. [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]

Study Completion Date:	February 2008
Primary Completion Date:	February 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
1: Experimental LCP-AtorFen	Drug: LCP-AtorFen anti-dyslipidemia
2: Active Comparator atorvastatin	Drug: atorvastatin anti-dyslipidemia
3: Active Comparator fenofibrate	Drug: fenofibrate anti-dyslipidemia

Detailed Description:

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, 12 week study with a 52-week open-label follow-up to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LCP-AtorFen (the combination of atorvastatin and fenofibrate) in the treatment of hyperlipidemia.

After a wash-out phase, eligible patients will be randomized on a 1:1:1 ratio to either LCP-AtorFen, atorvastatin or fenofibrate for 12 weeks. After the completion of the 12-week phase, all eligible patients will be offered to receive open-label LCP-AtorFen for another 52 weeks.

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years and older

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

A diagnosis of dyslipidemia (non-HDL-C >130 mg/dL and Triglycerides > or equal to 150 mg/dL and < or equal to 500 mg/dL).
Subject may be currently on a statin or other lipid-lowering therapy but must be willing and able to washout for 8 weeks if on a fibrate or high-dose niacin, 6 weeks if on a statin or low-dose niacin per day, or 4 weeks if on a bile acid sequestrant, ezetimibe, or >1000 mg of fish oil per day.
Other inclusion criteria might apply

Exclusion Criteria:

TGs > 500 mg/dL.
History of coronary heart disease (CHD), transient ischemic attacks, stroke or revascularization procedure in the six months prior.
Presence of an aortic aneurysm or resection of an aortic aneurysm within six months.
Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (glycosylated hemoglobin >8.0% )or diabetes mellitus requiring insulin therapy.
Known lipoprotein lipase impairment or deficiency or Apo C-II deficiency or familial dysbetalipoproteinemia.
History of pancreatitis.
Known allergy or sensitivity to statins or fibrates.
Poorly controlled hypertension.
Other exclusion criteria might apply.
