Brief Summary

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

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.
