Overview
Brief Summary
The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of subcutaneous (SC) evolocumab every 2 weeks (Q2W) and monthly (QM), compared with ezetimibe, on percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in hypercholesterolemic adults unable to tolerate an effective dose of a statin (HMG-CoA (5-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A) reductase inhibitors).
