Full description

This is a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to assess the effects of the cholesterol absorption inhibitor HS-25 on LDL-C levels in adults who have untreated LDL-C levels ranging from 3.36-4.88mmol/L(130-189 mg/dL)and fasting triglyceride levels < 350 mg/dL. Eligibility is restricted to 18-75 years old men or women who are using a highly effective birth control method or are not of childbearing potential.
