Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants With Full Administration of Evolocumab at Both Weeks 4 and 8

    Self-administration of evolocumab was assessed by a telephone interview at Weeks 4 and 8. Each participant was asked about all attempted injection(s) and if the injection was administered in part, full, or none at all. Results only include full administrations that occurred inside the prespecified visit window.

    Weeks 4 and 8

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Percent Change From Baseline in LDL-C at the Mean of Weeks 10 and 12

    Baseline and Weeks 10 and 12

Study Arms (2)

Evolocumab AMD

EXPERIMENTAL

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.

Biological: Evolocumab AMD

Evolocumab AI/pen

EXPERIMENTAL

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.

Biological: Evolocumab AI/pen

Interventions
