Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Alirocumab (REGN727/SAR236553) in Patients With Primary Hypercholesterolemia and Moderate, High, or Very High Cardiovascular (CV) Risk, Who Are Intolerant to Statins (ODYSSEY ALTERNATIVE) (NCT NCT01709513)

NCT ID: NCT01709513

Last Updated: 2020-06-23

Results Overview

Calculated LDL-C values were obtained from 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 24 regardless of status on- or off-treatment were used in the model (ITT analysis).

Participant Flow

The study was conducted at 67 sites in 8 countries. Overall, 519 participants were screened between 28 September 2012 and 11 August 2013, 158 of whom were screen failures. Screen failures were mainly due to exclusion criteria met. After screening, 361 participants entered into a 4-week single blind placebo run-in period.

At the end of the single blind placebo run-in period, eligible participants were randomized to treatment arms centrally using a 2:2:1 (alirocumab:ezetimibe:atorvastatin) ratio. Randomization was stratified according to prior history of myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke. 314 participants were randomized.
