Evaluation of Alirocumab Versus Ezetimibe on Top of Statin in Asia in High Cardiovascular Risk Patients With Hypercholesterolemia (ODYSSEY EAST)
Hypercholesterolemia
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Hypercholesterolemia
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion criteria:
Participants with hypercholesterolemia and established coronary heart disease (CHD) or CHD risk equivalents who are not adequately controlled with a maximally tolerated daily dose of statin at a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to the screening visit (Week -3).
Exclusion criteria:
- Participants without established CHD or CHD risk equivalents.
- LDL-C <70 mg/dL (<1.81 mmol/L) at the screening visit (Week -3) in participants with history of documented CV disease.
- LDL-C <100 mg/dL (<2.59 mmol/L) at the screening visit (Week -3) in participants without history of documented CV disease.
- Change in statin dose or dose regimen from screening to randomization.
- Currently taking a statin other than atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, or simvastatin.
- Atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, or simvastatin was not taken daily or not taken at a registered dose.
- Daily doses above atorvastatin 80 mg, rosuvastatin 40 mg, or simvastatin 40 mg.
- Use of cholesterol absorption inhibitor (ie, ezetimibe), omega-3 fatty acid (at doses ≥1000 mg daily), nicotinic acid, fibrates, bile acid-binding sequestrant, or red yeast rice products in the past 4 weeks prior to screening visit (Week -3).
- Fasting serum triglycerides >400 mg/dL (>4.52 mmol/L) at the screening period.

Active Comparator
Experimental
Ezetimibe 10 mg
Alirocumab 75 mg Q2W/up to 150 mg Q2W
Oral ezetimibe 10 mg capsule once daily with or without food for 24 weeks and subcutaneous placebo injection for alirocumab every 2 weeks (Q2W) for 22 weeks added to lipid modifying therapy (LMT).
Subcutaneous injection of alirocumab 75 mg Q2W and oral placebo capsule for ezetimibe once daily with or without food added to stable LMT for 24 weeks. Alirocumab dose up-titrated to 150 mg Q2W from Week 12 when LDL-C level was >=70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) (1.81 millimoles per liter [mmol/L]) at Week 8.
