Participant Flow

Adults with fasting low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ≥ 75 mg/dL and triglycerides ≤ 400 mg/dL were eligible. The first patient enrolled on 5 January 2012 and the last patient enrolled on 12 October 2012. All patients were counseled on the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes diet.

Patients were assigned to 1 of 4 background lipid-lowering regimens for a 4-12 week stabilization period: diet alone, diet and 10 mg atorvastatin daily, diet and 80 mg atorvastatin daily, or diet, 80 mg atorvastatin and 10 mg ezetimibe daily. Patients meeting criteria were randomized 2:1 to evolocumab or placebo, stratified by background therapy.
