Brief Summary  

This trial is a phase III, randomized, double blind, active controlled, prospective, parallel group, comparative, multicentric clinical study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of fixed dose combination of Bempedoic Acid plus Rosuvastatin Tablets versus fixed dose combination of Ezetimibe plus Rosuvastatin Tablets in patients with hypercholesterolemia.

 

Patients who are willing and able to participate in the study will sign and date the Informed Consent Form on the day of screening / baseline visit (Visit 1). During this screening period, patients who are willing to give consent will be evaluated for all the eligibility criteria.
