Brief Summary

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

The present study is aiming at assessing the efficacy and safety of AVE5530 (25mg and 50mg) in a double-blind comparison with placebo in the management of patients with primary hypercholesterolemia. The main objective is to evaluate the effects of AVE5530 on LDL-C level reduction as adjunct to a controlled diet. The effects of AVE5530 on other lipid parameters will be assessed as secondary objectives.
