Detaljerad beskrivning
Elevated plasma cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) and various other plasma lipid imbalances (dyslipidemias) are major risk factors for coronary heart disease. It has been established that lowering the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol plasma concentration effectively reduces cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. As a result of this finding, the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III identifies control of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol as essential in the prevention and management of coronary heart disease.
Currently, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) are the first-line monotherapies prescribed to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, after diet and therapeutic lifestyle change. However, low doses of statins often fail to produce the Adult Treatment Panel III-recommended levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol reduction, making it necessary to increase the dose or add an additional treatment. This in turn may result in decreased tolerability and potential safety concerns.
At higher doses, statins are associated with various myopathies ranging from rare occurrences of rhabdomyolysis and myositis to more frequent symptoms of muscle weakness, cramps, or pain; these can occur with mild or no increases in creatine kinase. Statin use also is associated with increases in liver transaminase levels. These tolerability and safety concerns may contribute to the high discontinuation rates of statins and their prescription at low, and often ineffective, doses.
TAK-475 (lapaquistat acetate) inhibits the cholesterol synthesis pathway at a different step than statins (acting on squalene synthase rather than 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A); it does not reduce concentrations of isoprenylated intermediates believed to be responsible for the myopathies associated with statin use.
This study was conducted to determine whether lapaquistat acetate with fenofibrate has the potential to be more effective than fenofibrate by itself in lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Beskrivning
Inclusion Criteria:
- Women of childbearing potential must not be pregnant as determined by a negative serum human chorionic gonadotropin, not lactating, not planning on becoming pregnant between Screening and 30 days following the last dose of study medication, and agreed to use acceptable forms of contraception during the study.
- Prior to Randomization, must have a mean low density lipoprotein cholesterol greater than or equal to 100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L) for 2 consecutive samples. The difference between the two individual low density lipoprotein cholesterol values not to exceed 15% of the higher value.
- Prior to Randomization, must have mean triglycerides greater than or equal to 150 and less than or equal to 600 mg/dL (1.70 and 6.78 mmol/L, respectively) for 2 consecutive samples. The upper value for either triglycerides sample must have been less than or equal to 650 mg/dL (7.35 mmol/L).
- Clinical laboratory evaluations (including clinical chemistry [fasted for at least 10 hours], hematology and urinalysis) within the reference range for the testing laboratory unless results deemed not clinically significant or considered within normal limits for this subject by the investigator or the sponsor.
- Willing and able to continue to comply with a standardized low cholesterol diet.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase level of greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal, active liver disease or jaundice.
