Brief Summary

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

The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of evolocumab subcutaneously once every 2 weeks (Q2W) and once monthly (QM), compared with placebo, on percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in adults with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH).
