Official Title: A Worldwide, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, 12-Week Study to Assess the Efficacy and Tolerability of Anacetrapib When Added to Ongoing Lipid-Lowering Therapy in Adult Patie

Brief Summary: This study will evaluate the safety and effect of anacetrapib on low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) when added to ongoing lipid-lowering therapy. The primary hypothesis is that treatment with anacetrapib 100 mg for 12 weeks will lower LDL-C to a greater extent than treatment with placebo.
