Overview

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.

Arms & Interventions

Alirocumab 75 mg Q2W/Up to 150 mg Q2W

Alirocumab 75 mg SC injection Q2W added to stable LMT for 24 weeks. Alirocumab dose up-titrated to 150 mg Q2W from Week 12 when LDL-C levels ≥70 mg/dL (1.81 mmol/L) at Week 8.

Intervention: Alirocumab

Placebo Q2W

Placebo (for alirocumab) subcutaneous (SC) injection every 2 weeks (Q2W) added to stable Lipid-Modifying Therapy (LMT) for 24 weeks.

Intervention: Placebo (for Alirocumab)

Placebo Q2W

Placebo (for alirocumab) subcutaneous (SC) injection every 2 weeks (Q2W) added to stable Lipid-Modifying Therapy (LMT) for 24 weeks.

Intervention: Lipid-Modifying Therapy (LMT)

Alirocumab 75 mg Q2W/Up to 150 mg Q2W

Alirocumab 75 mg SC injection Q2W added to stable LMT for 24 weeks. Alirocumab dose up-titrated to 150 mg Q2W from Week 12 when LDL-C levels ≥70 mg/dL (1.81 mmol/L) at Week 8.

Intervention: Lipid-Modifying Therapy (LMT)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percent Change From Baseline in Calculated LDL-C at Week 24 - Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Analysis

Time Frame: From 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).
