Evaluation of Alirocumab in Addition to Lipid-Modifying Therapy in Patients With High Cardiovascular Risk and Hypercholesterolemia in South Korea and Taiwan

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Hypercholesterolemia
Interventions
Drug: Placebo (for Alirocumab)
Drug: Alirocumab
Drug: Lipid-Modifying Therapy (LMT)
Registration Number
NCT02289963
Lead Sponsor
Sanofi
Brief Summary

Primary Objective:

To demonstrate the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by alirocumab as add-on therapy to stable maximally tolerated daily statin therapy with or without other lipid-modifying therapy (LMT) in comparison with placebo after 24 weeks of treatment in high cardiovascular risk participants with hypercholesterolemia in South Korea and Taiwan.

Secondary Objectives:

* To evaluate the effect of alirocumab in comparison with placebo on LDL-C after 12 weeks of treatment.

* To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on other lipid parameters: apolipoprotein B (Apo B), non high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), lipoprotein (a) (Lp \[a\]), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TGs), and apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo A-1).

* To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab.

* To evaluate the development of anti-alirocumab antibodies (ADA).

Detailed Description

The maximum study duration was approximately 35 weeks per participant, including up to 3 weeks screening period, 24 weeks double-blind treatment period, and 8 weeks follow-up period.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent Change From Baseline in Calculated LDL-C at Week 24 - Intent-to-Treat (ITT) AnalysisFrom Baseline to Week 24

Adjusted Least-squares (LS) means and standard errors at Week 24 were obtained from a mixed-effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) to account for missing data. All available post-baseline data up to Week 24 regardless of status on- or off-treatment were used in the model (ITT analysis).
