Brief Summary:
Primary Objective:
To demonstrate the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by alirocumab administration as add-on therapy to non-statin lipid modifying therapy (LMT) including diet therapy alone or the lowest strength of statin in comparison with placebo after 12 weeks of treatment in participants with hypercholesterolemia.
Secondary Objective:
* To evaluate the effect of two treatment regimens 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), triglyceride (TG), and apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo A-1).
* To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab administration.
* To evaluate the development of anti-alirocumab antibodies.
* To evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of alirocumab administration.
* To evaluate the long-term safety in participants receiving open-label alirocumab administration.
Detailed Description:
The duration of study per participant was approximately 71 weeks consisting of a run-in period (4 weeks), a screening period (3 weeks), a double-blind treatment period (12 weeks), and an open-label treatment period (52 weeks).
