A Study Of Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics And Safety Of Adding ETC-1002 To Atorvastatin 80 mg

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to measure the amount of atorvastatin and ETC-1002 in the blood, to determine how ETC-1002 affects the level of LDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and other markers of health and disease in blood and urine, and to see how ETC-1002 is tolerated in the body compared to placebo when added to stable atorvastatin 80 mg background therapy in statin-treated patients.
