Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate the lipid-lowering effect and safety of colesevelam therapy administered to heterozygous familial pediatric patients 10 through 17 years of age who are on a stable dose of a pediatric-approved statin monotherapy (atorvastatin, lovastatin, simvastatin or pravastatin), or who are treatment naive to lipid-lowering therapy.
