Study Groups

Evolocumab AMD

Participants received evolocumab 420 mg once a month subcutaneously using an automated mini-doser (AMD) (one 3.5 mL injection) for 8 weeks (Day 1, Week 4, and Week 8). Participants self-administered evolocumab in the clinic on Day 1 under supervision and then self-administered in a home setting at Weeks 4 and 8.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Evolocumab AMD

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Evolocumab subcutaneous injection using a single use, disposable AMD containing 3.5 mL deliverable volume.

Evolocumab AI/pen

Participants received evolocumab 420 mg once a month subcutaneously using an autoinjector/pen (AI/pen) (three 1.0 mL injections) for 8 weeks (Day 1, Week 4, and Week 8). Participants self-administered evolocumab in the clinic on Day 1 under supervision and then self-administered in a home setting at Weeks 4 and 8.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Evolocumab AI/pen

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Evolocumab subcutaneous injection using a handheld mechanical (spring-based) prefilled AI/Pen, each containing 1.0 mL deliverable volume.
