Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Clinical Trial to Assess the Long Term Safety and Tolerability of MK-0653C in Japanese Participants With Hypercholesterolemia (MK-0653C-384) (NCT NCT02460159)

NCT ID: NCT02460159

Last Updated: 2024-05-16

Results Overview

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. The percentage of participants that reported at least 1 AE was summarized.
