A Randomized, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Active-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of REGN727/SAR236553 in Patients With Primary Hypercholesterolemia Who Are Intolerant to Statins
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Atorvastatin, Ezetimibe, and 2 other interventions for Hypercholesterolemia. Completed, enrolled 314 participants across 70 sites in 8 countries.
Detailed Summary
This is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, parallel-group, multi-national, multi-center study to compare alirocumab (REGN727/SAR236553) versus ezetimibe in participants with primary hypercholesterolemia and moderate, high, or very high CV risk, who are intolerant to statins. An atorvastatin arm is added to determine that the population selected in the study is a truly statin intolerant population by assessing skeletal muscle-related adverse events.
