Primary Outcome Measures:

Number of Patients With Plasma Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) RiboNucleic Acid (RNA) <50 Copies/mL at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]
Number of Patients With Clinical Adverse Experiences (CAEs) Through 24 Weeks [ Time Frame: 24 Week last patient last visit ]
An adverse experience is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR'S (Merck & Co., Inc.) product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product
Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Fasting Serum Cholesterol at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12 ]
Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Non-High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (Non-HDL-C) at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12 ]
Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Fasting Serum Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12 ]
Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Fasting Serum High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12 ]
Median Percent Change From Baseline in Serum Triglyceride at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12 ]
Standard Deviation (Robust): calculated as interquartile range (IQR)/1.075, where IQR=3rd quartile-1st quartile.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Fasting Serum Cholesterol at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24 ]
Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Non-High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (Non-HDL-C) at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24 ]
Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Fasting Serum Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24 ]
Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Fasting Serum High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24 ]
Median Percent Change From Baseline in Serum Triglyceride at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24 ]
Standard Deviation (Robust): calculated as interquartile range (IQR)/1.075, where IQR=3rd quartile-1st quartile.

Other Outcome Measures:

Number of Patients With Serious CAEs Through 24 Weeks [ Time Frame: 24 Week last patient last visit ]
Serious CAEs are any AEs occurring at any dose that; results in death; or is life threatening; or results in a persistent or significant disability/incapacity; or results in or prolongs an existing inpatient hospitalization; or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or is a cancer; or is an overdose
Number of Patients With Drug-related CAEs Through 24 Weeks [ Time Frame: 24 Week last patient last visit ]
Patients with drug-related (as assessed by an investigator who is a qualified physician, according to his/her best clinical judgement) CAEs.
Number of Patients With Serious Drug-related CAEs Through 24 Weeks [ Time Frame: 24 Week last patient last visit ]
Serious CAEs are any AEs occurring at any dose that; results in death; or is life threatening; or results in a persistent or significant disability/incapacity; or results in or prolongs an existing inpatient hospitalization; or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or is a cancer; or is an overdose. Drug-related are as assessed by an investigator who is a qualified physician, according to his/her best clinical judgement
Number of Patients That Died by 24 Week Last Patient Last Visit [ Time Frame: 24 Week last patient last visit ]
Number of Patients That Discontinued Due to CAEs Through 24 Weeks [ Time Frame: 24 Week last patient last visit ]
Number of Patients That Discontinued Due to Drug Related CAEs Through 24 Weeks [ Time Frame: 24 Week last patient last visit ]
Number of Patients With Laboratory Adverse Experiences (LAEs) Through 24 Weeks [ Time Frame: 24 Week last patient last visit ]
A laboratory adverse experience (LAE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR'S (Merck & Co., Inc.) product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product
Number of Patients With Drug-related Laboratory Adverse Experiences (LAEs) Through 24 Weeks [ Time Frame: 24 Week last patient last visit ]
Patients with drug-related (as assessed by an investigator who is a qualified physician, according to his/her best clinical judgement) LAEs
Number of Patients With Serious LAEs Through 24 Weeks [ Time Frame: 24 Week last patient last visit ]
Serious LAEs are any LAEs occurring at any dose that; results in death; or is life threatening; or results in a persistent or significant disability/incapacity; or results in or prolongs an existing inpatient hospitalization; or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or is a cancer; or is an overdose
Number of Patients That Discontinued Due to LAEs Through 24 Weeks [ Time Frame: 24 Week last patient last visit ]
Number of Patients That Discontinued With Drug Related LAEs Through 24 Weeks [ Time Frame: 24 Week last patient last visit ]
Number of patients that discontinued with drug-related (as assessed by an investigator who is a qualified physician, according to his or her clinical judgement) LAEs.
