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 ]

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