Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Hypercholesterolaemia
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Drug: Lipid-Modifying Therapy (LMT)
Drug: Antihyperglycemic Drug
Registration Number
NCT02585778
Lead Sponsor
Sanofi
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).

Detailed Description

The maximum study duration was approximately 9 months per participant, including a 6 month treatment period, a screening period of up to 3 weeks, and an 8 week safety observation period.
