Participant Flow

In total 934 patients were enrolled to the study, the study was conducted at 13 investigational sites in China. The first patient was enrolled on 27 May 2008, the last patient was completed on 16 Jul 2009.

There is a dietary lead in period before randomization. 934 patients started the dietary lead in period. 436 patients completed this period. The baseline measurement is based on the ITT population. Patients included in ITT population in each arm is : Rosuvastatin 5mg 136, Rosuvastatin 10mg 139 and Atorvastatin 10mg 139.
