- Is willing to maintain a cholesterol-lowering diet throughout the study.
- Female of reproductive potential agrees to remain abstinent or to use (or have their partner use) 2 acceptable methods of birth control throughout the study.
- Female receiving non-cyclical hormone therapy, if maintained on a stable dose and regimen for at least 8 weeks prior to the study and if willing to continue the same regimen throughout the study.
- Off-therapy LDL-C levels are: for low risk patients, ≥130 mg/dL and ≤300 mg/dL; for moderate risk patients, ≥100 mg/dL and ≤300 mg/dL; for moderately high risk patients, ≥100 mg/dL and ≤275 mg/dL.
