* Jane Duncan and Mark Williams are not
actual patients.
†Individual results may vary.
Hypothetical patient results are based on 4 randomized,
placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group studies including type IIb
patients (N=242) with the following mean baseline lipid values:
Total-C 312.8 mg/dL; LDL-C 219.8 mg/dL; HDL-C 46.7 mg/dL; and TG 231.9
mg/dL. Patients were randomized to either fenofibrate (n=126) at a
dose equivalent to 145 mg TriCor per day or placebo (n=116). Duration
of study treatment was 3 to 6 months. P<0.05 vs placebo. (1)
