Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to determine whether pharmacologic lowering of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), initiated in healthy young to middle aged adults can eliminate or markedly reduce the composite endpoint of incident all cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke or coronary revascularization.
