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).
- Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
- Capable of giving signed informed consent.
- Exclusion criteria:
- Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (clinically or previous genotyping).
- Patient who has received LDL-C plasmapheresis treatment within 2 months prior to the screening visit, or has plans to receive it during the study.

- Planned to undergo scheduled PCI, CABG, carotid or peripheral revascularization during the study.

- 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.

- Estimated glomerular filtration rate \<30 mL/min/1.73 m2.
- 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).
- Participants are employees of the clinical study site or other individuals directly involved in the conduct of the study, or immediate family members of such individuals.
