Long-term Safety and Tolerability of SAR236553 (REGN727) in High Cardiovascular Risk Patients With Hypercholesterolemia Not Adequately Controlled With Their Lipid Modifying Therapy: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Placebo (for alirocumab), Alirocumab, and 1 other intervention for Hypercholesterolemia. Completed, enrolled 2,341 participants across 320 sites in 27 countries.
Detailed Summary
Alirocumab (SAR236553/REGN727) is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9). Primary Objective of the study: To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of alirocumab in high cardiovascular risk participants with hypercholesterolemia not adequately controlled with their current lipid modifying therapy (LMT). Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels after 24 weeks of treatment in comparison with placebo. * To evaluate the effect of alirocumab in comparison with placebo on LDL-C at other time points. * To evaluate the effects of alirocumab on other lipid parameters.
