Extrait

The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of once-daily rosuvastatin in reducing LDL-C in children and adolescents aged 10-17 years with HeFH from baseline (Day 0) to the end of the 12-week double-blind treatment period.

Critère d'inclusion

  • Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) is a frequent, inherited disorder of lipoprotein metabolism caused by mutations in the LDL receptor gene. The risk of CHD is approximately 50% by 50 years of age in untreated HeFH. Morphological and functional changes of the arteries are present in hypercholesterolemic children and can predict future CHD, underscoring the importance of aggressive and early treatment of dyslipidemia to prevent premature events in HeFH
