    Time frame: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. The proportion of patients on lipid-lowering treatment reaching the LDL-C goals according to the NCEP ATP III/ updated 2004 NCEP ATP III , in the following sub-populations: - primary/secondary prevention patients and with metabolic syndromes

    Time frame: 24 weeks

  2. The proportion of patients on lipid-lowering treatment reaching the LDL-C goals according to the Third Joint European Task Force guideline, in the following sub-populations: - primary/secondary prevention patients and with metabolic syndromes

    Time frame: 24 weeks

  3. Determinants (e.g. patient and physician characteristics , country-specific guidelines or recommendations) for undertreatment of hypercholesterolemia

    Time frame: 24 weeks

  4. Physician characteristics associated with the allocation of treatment regimen.

    Time frame: 24 weeks

  5. The proportion of patients on lipid-lowering treatment reaching the non HDL-C goals according to the NCEP ATP III/ updated 2004 NCEP ATP III , in the sub-population patients with fasting triglycerides<200 mg/d

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 24, 2012, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
