Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Alirocumab (SAR236553/REGN727) is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9).

Primary Objective of the study:

* 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 (CV) risk participants with hypercholesterolemia

Secondary Objectives:

* To evaluate the effect of alirocumab in comparison with placebo on LDL-C at other time points
* To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on other lipid parameters
* To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab

Study Groups

Placebo Q2W

Placebo (for alirocumab) every 2 weeks (Q2W) added to stable Lipid-Modifying Therapy (LMT) for 52 weeks.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo (for alirocumab)

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Participants with hypercholesterolemia and established coronary heart disease (CHD) or CHD risk equivalents who were not adequately controlled with a maximally tolerated daily dose of statin with or without other LMT, both at stable dose for at least 4 weeks to 6 weeks prior to screening (Week -2)

Exclusion Criteria

* Age \<18 or legal age of adulthood, whichever was greater
* Participants without established CHD or CHD risk equivalent
* LDL-C \<70 mg/dL (\<1.81 mmol/L) and participants with a history of documented cardiovascular disease
* LDL-C \<100 mg/dL (\<2.59 mmol/L) and participants without a history of documented cardiovascular disease
* Not on a stable dose of LMT (including statin) for at least 4 weeks and/or fenofibrate for at least 6 weeks, as applicable, prior to the screening visit (Week -2) and from screening to randomization
* Fasting serum triglycerides \> 400 mg/dL (\>4.52 mmol/L)
