Principal inclusion criteria

Patient is male or female ≥18 and ≤85 years of age on day of signing informed consent.
Patient has primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia based on medical history (previous diagnosis), historic lipid values (within 6 months of screening), or as otherwise determined by the investigator through optional lipid measurements at screening visit (Visit 1 or prior to washout period).
Patient meets one of the following triglyceride (TG) criteria:
a. Patient is on niacin, statin, or fibrate and has TG <500 mg/dL (5.65 mmol/L) at or within 6 months of washout (Pre-screen visit).
b. Patient is not on any lipid-modifying therapy or is on lipid-modifying therapy other than niacin, statin, or fibrate and has TG <600 mg/dL (6.78 mmol/L) at or within 6 months of screening (Visit 1 for naïve patients or Prescreen visit for washout patients).

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

Patient is high risk (CHD or CHD risk equivalent based on NCEP ATP III) AND is on a statin. Note: High risk patients not currently being treated with a statin are eligible
