Dyslipidemia of Obesity Intervention in Teens Trial

This trial of pitavastatin will determine efficacy and safety in this high risk population
and provide evidence for clinicians to target this treatable risk factor to achieve an impact
on early atherosclerosis, and potentially achieve primary prevention of adult cardiovascular
disease.

Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of pitavastatin for 2 years
comparing the effect of study drug versus placebo on vascular measures in at least 354 obese
(body mass index >95th percentile) adolescents with CDO (defined as high non-HDL-C + high
TG/HDL-C ratio or low HDL-C). Enrollment will take place over 18 months.

Inclusion Criteria:

- BMI >95th percentile (using CDC BMI charts)

- Fasting lipid profile x2 each with all of the following:

- LDL-C <160 mg/dL, and

- TG <500 mg/dL, and

- TG/HDL-C ratio > 3.0 or HDL-C <45 mg/dL for boys or HDL-C <50 mg/dL for girls,
and

- non-HDL-C >145 mg/dL

- Participant consent, or parental/guardian consent and participant assent

- Participant fluency in English

Exclusion Criteria:

for age, sex and height percentile + 5 mmHg; confirmed after an appropriate
evaluation)

- Diabetes (type 1 or type 2) by American Diabetes Association criteria (fasting glucose
>126 mg/dL, random glucose >200 mg/dL, or 2-hour oral glucose tolerance testing
glucose >200 mg/dL)

- Prediabetes or polycystic ovary syndrome on insulin sensitizing therapy

- Known renal insufficiency

- Uncontrolled thyroid disease

- Proteinuria suggestive of renal disease (urine protein: creatinine >0.2)

- Syndromic patients or patients with neurocognitive delay precluding adherence with
study drug

- Liver disease other than non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) either diagnosed or
suggested by alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≥ 50 U/L, or severe NAFLD indicated by ALT
≥ 200 U/L

- Unexplained persistent elevated creatine kinase (CK) level >3x upper limit of normal

- Plans to leave the geographic area before completion of the anticipated 2 years of
trial participation

- Any unstable medical or emotional condition or chronic disease that would preclude
