Comments The primary null hypotheses were tested sequentially in the following order: 1) no difference between the high-dose colesevelam HCl and placebo for percent change in LDL-C from study baseline to Week 8 endpoint with the last observation carried forward (LOCF) and 2) no difference between the low-dose colesevelam HCl and placebo for percent change in LDL-C from study baseline to Week 8 endpoint with LOCF. The hypotheses were tested at a 2-sided significance level of 5%.

A subpopulation of the All High Dose treatment regimen of the Open Label Extension period of participants who were randomized to low dose colesevelam 1.9 grams per day treatment during the Double blind Period. A subpopulation of the All High Dose treatment regimen of the Open Label Extension period of participants who were randomized to high dose colesevelam 3.8 grams per day treatment during the Double blind Period. Open Label Extension was an 18 week open-label treatment period. All participants were treated with 3750 mg colesevelam (high-dose).
