Study Groups

Evolocumab PFS
Participants received evolocumab 140 mg every 2 weeks for 4 weeks (Day 1, Week 2, and Week 4) subcutaneously using a prefilled syringe (PFS). Participants self-administered evolocumab in the clinic on Day 1 under supervision and then self-administered in a home setting at Weeks 2 and 4.
Evolocumab Pre-filled Syringe
Evolocumab subcutaneous injection via a single use, disposable pre-filled syringe.
Evolocumab AI/pen
Participants received evolocumab 140 mg every 2 weeks for 4 weeks (Day 1, Week 2, and Week 4) subcutaneously using a prefilled autoinjector/pen (AI/pen). Participants self-administered evolocumab in the clinic on Day 1 under supervision and then self-administered in a home setting at Weeks 2 and 4.
Evolocumab AI/pen
Evolocumab subcutaneous injection via a handheld mechanical (spring-based) autoinjector/pen.
