- Patients who have initiated statin and fibrate therapy at least 6 months prior to screening, and have been receiving a stable dose for at least 3 months prior to screening. [Note: patients not receiving statin or fibrate therapy will be allowed to enter the study providing that this method of treatment is not required as active treatment for their medical condition at the time of screening; if any of these patients develop the need for statin or fibrate therapy during the course of the study, therapy will be started without the need to withdraw the patient from the study.]
