Brief Summary
Study design

- Multicenter, double-dummy, double-blinded, randomized, Phase 4 study

- Patients will be randomized to either a study group or a control group in a 1:1 ratio,
and will be orally administered the assigned drugs

Study Objective

-The study is designed to demonstrate that efficacy and safety of morning dosing of Simvast
Controlled Release (CR) Tab is not inferior to evening dosing of Zocor Tab in patients with
stage 3,4,5 chronic kidney disease with hyperlipidemia

Primary objective

-to assess the percent change of LDL-C at Week 8 from baseline in Chronic Kidney
Disease(CKD) stage 3,4,5 with hyperlipidemia subjects.
Detailed Description
The secondary objectives of the study are as follows:

- to assess the change and percent change of TC, HDL-C, TG from baseline.

- to assess the accomplishment rate of therapeutic goals based on the therapeutic
guidance for hyperlipidemia of the Korean Society of Lipidology and Atherosclerosis.

- Subjects considered requiring medication by the principal investigator based on the
therapeutic -guidance for hyperlipidemia of the Korean Society of Lipidology and
Atherosclerosis.

- Patients who understand the study procedures and signed the informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria:

- Patients with a hypersensitivity to HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor or any of its
