Brief Summary:

Primary Objectives:

  • To demonstrate the superiority of alirocumab in comparison with placebo in the reduction of calculated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in participants with diabetes treated with insulin and with hypercholesterolemia at high cardiovascular risk not adequately controlled on maximally tolerated LDL-C lowering therapy.
  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab in participants with diabetes treated with insulin.

Secondary Objective:

To demonstrate that alirocumab was superior in comparison to placebo in its effects on other lipid parameters (i.e., measured LDL-C, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [non-HDL-C], apolipoprotein B [Apo B], total cholesterol [TC], lipoprotein a [Lp(a)], high density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C], triglyceride [TG] levels, triglyceride rich lipoproteins [TGRL], apolipoprotein A-1 [Apo A-1], apolipoprotein C-III [Apo C-III], and LDL particle number and size).
