Brief Summary
Primary Objective: To demonstrate the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by alirocumab as add-on therapy to stable maximally tolerated daily statin therapy with or without other lipid-modifying therapy (LMT) in comparison with placebo after 24 weeks of treatment in high cardiovascular risk participants with hypercholesterolemia in South Korea and Taiwan. Secondary Objectives:
- To evaluate the effect of alirocumab in comparison with placebo on LDL-C after 12 weeks of treatment.
- To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on other lipid parameters: apolipoprotein B (Apo B), non high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), lipoprotein (a) (Lp \[a\]), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TGs), and apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo A-1).
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab.
- To evaluate the development of anti-alirocumab antibodies (ADA).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percent Change From Baseline in Calculated LDL-C at Week 24 - Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Analysis
Adjusted Least-squares (LS) means and standard errors at Week 24 were obtained from a mixed-effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) to account for missing data. All available post-baseline data up to Week 24 regardless of status on- or off-treatment were used in the model (ITT analysis).

Study Arms (2)
Placebo Q2W
PLACEBO COMPARATORPlacebo (for alirocumab) subcutaneous (SC) injection every 2 weeks (Q2W) added to stable Lipid-Modifying Therapy (LMT) for 24 weeks.
Alirocumab 75 mg Q2W/Up to 150 mg Q2W
PLACEBO COMPARATORAlirocumab 75 mg SC injection Q2W added to stable LMT for 24 weeks. Alirocumab dose up-titrated to 150 mg Q2W from Week 12 when LDL-C levels ≥70 mg/dL (1.81 mmol/L) at Week 8.
Interventions
Solution for injection, one subcutaneous injection in the abdomen with a disposable auto-injector.
Solution for injection, one subcutaneous injection in the abdomen with a disposable auto-injector.
Statins (Rosuvastatin, Simvastatin or Atorvastatin) at stable dose with or without other LMT as clinically indicated.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- 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 with or without other LMT, both at stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to screening visit (Week -3).
You may not qualify if:
- Aged \<18 years or legal age of adulthood, whichever was greater.
- Participants without established CHD or CHD risk equivalent.
- LDL-C \<70 mg/dL (\<1.81 mmol/L) in participants with a history of documented cardiovascular disease.
- LDL-C \<100 mg/dL (\<2.59 mmol/L) in participants without a history of documented cardiovascular disease.
- Not on a stable dose of LMT (including statin) for at least 4 weeks prior to the screening visit (Week -3) or between screening to randomization visits.
- 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 20 mg or simvastatin 40 mg.
- Fasting serum triglycerides \>400 mg/dL (\>4.52 mmol/L) at the screening period.
- The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a participants's potential participation in a clinical trial.
