A Study to Evaluate Tolerability and Efficacy of Evolocumab (AMG 145) in Japanese Subjects

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Hypercholesterolemia and High Risk for Cardiovascular Events
Registration Number
NCT01652703
Lead Sponsor
Amgen
Brief Summary

The primary objective is to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of subcutaneous evolocumab every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks, compared with placebo, on percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) when used in addition to statin therapy in Japanese adults with hypercholesterolemia and high cardiovascular risk.
