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 PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9).

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 in comparison with ezetimibe after 24 weeks of treatment in participants with hypercholesterolemia at high cardiovascular (CV) risk.

Secondary Objectives:

* To evaluate the effect of alirocumab in comparison with ezetimibe 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

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The maximum study duration was 115 weeks per participant, including a 3-week screening period, 104-week randomized treatment period and 8-week follow-up period.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

Exclusion Criteria

* Age \< 18 or legal age of adulthood, whichever was greater
* Participants without established CHD or CHD risk equivalents
* LDL-C \<70 mg/dL (\<1.81 mmol/L) and participants with a history of documented cardiovascular disease
