Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this research study is to measure the amount of atorvastatin and ETC-1002 in the blood, to determine how ETC-1002 affects the level of LDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and other markers of health and disease in blood and urine, and to see how ETC-1002 is tolerated in the body compared to placebo when added to stable atorvastatin 80 mg background therapy in statin-treated patients.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Taking daily stable statin doses for at least 4 weeks prior to screening visit.
* LDL-C between 100-220 mg/dL for patients taking daily high-intensity statin (for 4 weeks prior to switching to sponsor -provided atorvastatin 80 mg/day and stopping all other lipid-regulating drugs and supplements) at the screening visit; or,
* LDL-C between 115-220 mg/dL for patients taking moderate- or low-intensity statin (for 4 weeks prior to switching to sponsor -provided atorvastatin 80 mg/day and stopping all other lipid-regulating drugs and supplements) at the screening visit.
* Must be willing to discontinue other lipid-regulating therapies during the study

Exclusion Criteria

* History of acute significant cardiovascular disease.
* Current clinically significant cardiovascular disease.
* History of inability to tolerate any statin at any dose due to muscle-related pain or weakness.
