  4. Ezetimibe Phase III Pooled Monotherapy: Efficacy Results LDL-C HDL-C TG Placebo Placebo (n=409) Ezetimibe 10 mg (n=1234) Placebo (n=409) Ezetimibe 10 mg (n=1234) Placebo (n=409) Ezetimibe10 mg (n=1234) EZ 10 mg 3.5 0.3 1.0* 0 -5 -10 -15 -20 -1.6 Mean % Change in LDL from Baseline at Week 12 -4.2* -17.4* * p <0.01 vs. placebo

  5. Ezetimibe Phase III Monotherapy:Pooled Safety Results No. of Patients/Total (%) Placebo Ezetimibe (n=431) (n=1288) Adverse events 285 (66) 802 (62) Gastrointestinal 93 (22) 230 (18) DC 2° AE 11 (2.6) 51 (4) Liver function tests (3 x ULN) ALT 2 (<1) 7 (<1) AST 3 (<1) 6 (<1) GGT 10 (2) 20 (2) Total bilirubin 0 0 ALP 0 0 Creatine kinase (CK) elevations 5-10 x ULN 0 8 (<1) 10 x ULN 1 (<1) 3 (<1)

  6. Results: Added Efficacy Across the Lipid Profile Regardless of Statin Used * * ‡ * * * * * * * * Lovastatin Pravastatin Simvastatin Atorvastatin * *p<0.01 for EZE + statin vs statin alone; ‡p=0.22 for EZE + statin vs statin alone

  7. Ezetimibe Co-administered with Statins • Ezetimibe co-administered with low dose statins, offers broader lipid control than that achieved by increasing the dose of the statin alone Additional 5% 6% HDL–C TG 40% Additional -10% LDL–C 20% TG Additional -14 to 18 %

  8. Homozygous FH Study: Efficacy on LDL-C When Added to Ongoing 40 mg of Statin % Change From Baseline (Statin 40 mg) 14% 21% * * n=50 *P<0.01 vs statin 80 mg
