Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Alirocumab (REGN727/SAR236553) in Patients With heFH (Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia) Who Are Not Adequately Controlled With Their LMT (Lipid-Modifying Therapy) (NCT NCT01709500)

NCT ID: NCT01709500

Last Updated: 2015-10-28

Results Overview

Calculated LDL-C values were obtained using the Friedewald formula. Adjusted Least- squares (LS) means and standard errors at Week 24 were obtained from a mixed -effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) to account for missing data. All available post -baseline data from Week 4 to Week 52 regardless of status on- or off-treatment were used in the model.

Participant Flow

The study was conducted at 26 sites in 4 countries. Overall, 322 participants were screened between 28 Nov 2012 and 26 Apr 2013, 73 of whom were screen failures.

Randomization was stratified according to prior history of myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke, and intensity of statin treatment. Assignment to treatment arms was done centrally using an Interactive Voice/Web Response System in a 2:1 (alirocumab: placebo) ratio after confirmation of selection criteria.
