Brief Summary:

Alirocumab (SAR236553/REGN727) is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9).

Primary Objective of the study:

To demonstrate the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by alirocumab as add-on therapy to stable maximally tolerated daily statin therapy in comparison with ezetimibe after 24 weeks of treatment in participants with hypercholesterolemia at high cardiovascular (CV) risk.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To evaluate the effect of alirocumab in comparison with ezetimibe on LDL-C at other time points
  • To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on other lipid parameters
  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase

Detailed Description:
The maximum study duration was 115 weeks per participant, including a 3-week screening period, 104-week randomized treatment period and 8-week follow-up period.
