Participant Flow

One-hundred male and female (Tanner stages II to V, at least 1 year post-menarche) children and adolescents (aged 10 to 17 years with Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia were randomized into the study, from 20 sites located in The United States (3 sites), The Netherlands (7 sites), Norway (1 site), Spain (3 sites), and Canada (6 sites).

Patients entered a 6 week dietary lead-in/drug washout period. Eligible patients were then randomly assigned to double-blind treatment with rosuvastatin 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, or matching placebo, administered orally once daily for 12 weeks.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Population: Intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis set included all randomized patients who took study medication and had both a baseline reading and at least 1 post-baseline reading for the variable being analyzed. Analyses were performed using the last-observation-carried-forward (LOCF) method on the ITT analysis set for all efficacy outcome variables.
