Further study details as provided by AstraZeneca:

Primary Outcome Measures:

To compare the efficacy of rosuvastatin alone with rosuvastatin combined with ezetimibe by measuring fasting low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels at baseline and Week 6

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To compare the efficacy of rosuvastatin alone with rosuvastatin combined with ezetimibe by measuring fasting blood lipid levels levels at baseline and Week 6
Safety: by measuring adverse events & abnormal laboratory markers to compare safety & tolerability of rosuvastatin alone with rosuvastatin combined with ezetimibe
