- Change from baseline in triglycerides (TG) relative to placebo at 6 weeks [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks ]The dose response signal of 3 dose regiments of LCQ908 in patients at risk for non-FCS chylomicronemia as was measured by change from baseline in triglycerides (TG) relative to placebo at 6 weeks.
- Change from baseline in triglycerides after adding LCQ908 to background therapy of fenofibrate or Fish Oil at 12 weeks [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12 weeks ]
- Changes from baseline in triglycerides after treatment with LCQ908 monotherapy relative to fenofibrate or fish oil at 6 weeks [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks ]
- Change from baseline in triglycerides after treatment with LCQ908 monotherapy relative to placebo at 12 weeks [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12 weeks ]
- Number of patients in LCQ908 monotherapy with adverse events , serious adverse events and death [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
- changefrom baseline in lipids and lipoprotein profiles [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks ]
