Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Alirocumab

Arm Description

Participants received Alirocumab 150 milligram (mg) subcutaneously (SC) once every two weeks (Q2W) or 75 mg SC Q2W added to stable LMT up to a maximum of 120 weeks. Alirocumab dose was either up-titrated from 75 to 150 mg Q2W or down-titrated from 150 to 75 mg Q2W, based on Investigator judgment and treatment response.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) were defined as AEs that that developed or worsened or became serious during the TEAE period (time from the first injection of study drug up to the day of the last injection of study drug + 14 days). A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was a medically important event.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Percent Change From Baseline in Calculated Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) at Week 12
Calculated LDL-C values were obtained using the Friedewald formula. Calculated LDL-C in mg/dL from Friedewald formula (LDL cholesterol = Total cholesterol - HDL cholesterol - [Triglyceride/5]). Baseline value was defined as the last observation before the first dose of the treatment.
Percentage of Participants Reaching Calculated LDL-C <100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L) at Week 12
LDL-Cholesterol was calculated using the Friedewald formula. Percentage of participants who reached calculated LDL-C <100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L) at week 12 were reported.
Percentage of Participants Reaching Calculated LDL-C <70 mg/dL (1.81 mmol/L) at Week 12
LDL-Cholesterol was calculated using the Friedewald formula. Percentage of participants who reached calculated LDL-C <70 mg/dL (1.81 mmol/L) at week 12 were reported.
Percentage of Participants Reaching Calculated LDL-C <70 mg/dL (1.81 mmol/L) and/or >=50% Reduction From Baseline in LDL-C at Week 12
LDL-Cholesterol was calculated using the Friedewald formula. Percentage of participants who reached LDL-C <70 mg/dL at Week 12 and/or >=50% reduction from baseline in LDL-C at Week 12 are reported.
Percent Change From Baseline in Non-High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (Non-HDL-C) at Week 12
Baseline value was defined as the last observation before the first dose of the treatment.
Percent Change From Baseline in Total Cholesterol (Total-C) at Week 12
Baseline value was defined as the last observation before the first dose of the treatment.
Percent Change From Baseline in High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol at Week 12
Baseline value was defined as the last observation before the first dose of the treatment.
Percent Change From Baseline in Triglycerides at Week 12
Baseline value was defined as the last observation before the first dose of the treatment.
Assessment of Participant's Acceptability of Self-Injection Using Self Injection Assessment Questionnaire (SIAQ): Feeling About Injections, Self Confidence, Satisfaction With Self-Injections
Pre-SIAQ: self-completed before first self-injection & Post-SIAQ: self-completed after self-injection. Pre-SIAQ consisted of 7 items grouped into 3 domains:feelings about injections,self-confidence & satisfaction with self-injection. Post-SIAQ consisted of 21 items grouped into 6 domains:feelings about injections,self-image,self-confidence,injection-site reactions,ease of use & satisfaction with self-injection. Participants rated each item on 5-point (or 6-point) semantic Likert-type scale, where lower numbers indicate a worse experience. Item scores were transformed to obtain a score ranging from 0 (worst experience) to 10 (best experience). Transformed scores for items contributing to a domain were then averaged into a domain score. Each domain score ranges from 0 (worst experience) to 10 (best experience), higher score=better acceptability. Domain scores common to the Pre & Post SIAQ were analyzed on participants belonging to Pre & Post-SIAQ population and are reported.
Assessment of Participant's Acceptability of Self-Injection Using Self Injection Assessment Questionnaire (SIAQ): Self Image, Injection-Site Reactions, Ease of Use
SIAQ: contained 2 modules: Pre-SIAQ and Post-SIAQ. Post-SIAQ: self-completed after self-injection. Post-SIAQ consisted of 21 items grouped into 6 domains: feelings about injections, self-image, self-confidence, injection-site reactions, ease of use & satisfaction with self-injection. Participants rated each item on 5-point (or 6-point) semantic Likert-type scale, where lower numbers indicated a worse experience. Item scores were transformed to obtain a score ranging from 0 (worst experience) to 10 (best experience) for each item. Transformed scores for items contributing to a domain were then averaged into a domain score. Each domain score ranges from 0 (worst experience) to 10 (best experience), higher score=better acceptability. Domain scores which are not in common with Pre-SIAQ were analyzed on the Post-SIAQ population and are reported here.

E. Participants suffering from progressive CVD (coronary artery disease, or peripheral arterial occlusive disease or cerebrovascular disease as documented clinically or by imaging techniques, with a subsequent CV event [acute MI, ischemic stroke, ischemia-driven revascularization, unstable angina, transient ischemic attack] occurring despite stable doses of maximally tolerated LMT) with LDL-C concentrations >=100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L). Exclusion criteria: Not on a stable dose of LMT (including statin) for at least 4 weeks prior to the screening visit (Week -3) and from screening to enrollment. Use of a fibrate other than fenofibrate within 4 weeks of the screening visit (Week-3) or between screening and enrollment.

Use of statin other than simvastatin, atorvastatin, or rosuvastatin prior to the screening visit (Week-3) or between screening and enrollment, except when there was a documented reason for intolerance to the above mentioned potent statins (in which case the use of a different statin was allowed). Fasting serum TG >400 mg/dL (>4.52 mmol/L) at the screening visit (Week -3). Uncontrolled hypertension (>180 mmHg systolic and/or >110 mmHg diastolic at randomization visit). New York Heart Association Class III or IV congestive heart failure persisting despite treatment. History of hemorrhagic stroke. Liver transaminases >3 times the upper limit of normal. Laboratory evidence of current hepatitis B or C infection. Creatine kinase >3 times the upper limit of normal. Estimated glomerular filtration rate <30 mL/min/1.73 m^2. Pregnant or breastfeeding woman or with childbearing potential without appropriate contraception. Male participant with a female partner of childbearing potential not protected by a highly-effective method(s) of birth control. Participants eligible for enrollment into an ongoing clinical study of alirocumab conducted at the same investigational site. Hypersensitivity to alirocumab or any of the excipients.
