Summary

This study will evaluate the lipid-lowering effect and safety of colesevelam therapy administered to heterozygous familial pediatric patients 10 through 17 years of age who are on a stable dose of a pediatric-approved statin monotherapy (atorvastatin, lovastatin, simvastatin or pravastatin), or who are treatment naive to lipid-lowering therapy.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Male or female patients
  • Ages 10 to 17 years inclusive
  • Diagnosis of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia
  • On a stable dose of statin monotherapy or are treatment naive to lipid- lowering agents
  • On a low-cholesterol diet

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients should not have serious concomitant conditions that could interfere with the analysis of the results or that could interfere with the well-being of the patients
