Inclusion criteria in the randomized double-blind period: Participants who are not adequately controlled based on sample taken at qualifying pre randomization visit, despite stabilized dose of rosuvastatin 10 mg (defined by measured LDL-C ≥2.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL) and ≤4.9 mmol/L (190 mg/dL).

  • Planned to undergo scheduled PCI, CABG, carotid or peripheral revascularization during the study.
  • Severe hypertension (treated or untreated) with systolic blood pressure (SBP) \>160 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) \>100 mm Hg at study entry.
  • History of severe congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class IIIb or IV) within the past 12 months.
  • Presence of any clinically significant uncontrolled endocrine disease known to influence serum lipids or lipoproteins, according to Investigator's medical judgement.
  • Uncontrolled (as determined by fasting glucose \>180 mg/mL or HbA1c \>9%) or newly diagnosed (within 3 months of study entry) diabetes mellitus at the screening visit.
  • History of cancer within the past 5 years, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or in situ cervical cancer.
  • Conditions/situations such as:
  • Patient with a short life expectancy.
  • Patient with conditions/concomitant diseases making them non-evaluable for the primary efficacy endpoint, according to Investigator's medical judgement.
  • Requirement for concomitant treatment that could bias primary evaluation, according to Investigator's medical judgement.
  • Impossibility to meet specific protocol requirements (eg, ability to make study visits).
  • Patient is the Investigator or any Sub-Investigator, research assistant, pharmacist, study coordinator, other study staff or relative thereof directly involved in the conduct of the study.
  • Patient not suitable for participation, whatever the reason, as judged by the Investigator, including medical or clinical conditions, or patients potentially at risk of noncompliance to study procedures.
  • Known history of hypersensitivity reaction to statins and/or ezetimibe.
  • Current myopathy.
  • A history of statin-induced myopathy or rhabdomyolysis.
  • Current active liver disease including unexplained, persistent elevations of serum transaminases and any serum transaminase elevation exceeding 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN) range at the screening visit.
  • All contraindications to the active comparator (rosuvastatin) and background therapies or warning/precaution of use (when appropriate) as displayed in the respective National Product Labeling.
  • Patients not previously instructed on a cholesterol-lowering diet prior to the screening visit.
  • Use of systemic corticosteroids, unless used as replacement therapy for pituitary/adrenal disease with a stable regimen for at least 6 weeks prior to screening visit.
  • Use of hormone replacement therapy or oral contraceptives unless regimen has been stable in the past 6 weeks prior to the screening visit and no plans to change the regimen during the study.
  • Concomitant administration of cyclosporine (at screening and randomization visits).
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients receiving protease inhibitors (at screening and randomization visits).
  • Patient who has taken any active investigational drugs (E10/R10) within 1 month or 5 half-lives prior to screening, whichever is longer.
  • Laboratory findings obtained during the screening visit (V1):
  • Fasting serum TGs \>400 mg/dL.
  • Positive serum pregnancy test.
  • Serum creatine kinase \>3 times ULN.
  • Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) \< lower limit of normal (LLN) or \> ULN.

  • Alanine aminotransferase or AST \>3 x ULN.
  • Individuals accommodated in an institution because of regulatory or legal order; prisoners or subjects who are legally institutionalized.
  • Any technical/administrative reason (eg, patient homeless) that makes it impossible to enroll/randomize the patient in the study.
  • Alcohol abuse according to Investigator's medical judgement.
  • Participants are dependent on the Sponsor or Investigator (in conjunction with Section 1.61 of the ICH-GCP Ordinance E6).
