Efficacy and Safety of Alirocumab (SAR236553/REGN727) Versus Ezetimibe on Top of Statin in High Cardiovascular Risk Patients With Hypercholesterolemia (ODYSSEY COMBO II)

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2015-07-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Alirocumab (SAR236553/REGN727) is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9).

Primary Objective of the study:

To demonstrate the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by alirocumab as add-on therapy to stable maximally tolerated daily statin therapy in comparison with ezetimibe after 24 weeks of treatment in participants with hypercholesterolemia at high cardiovascular (CV) risk.

Secondary Objectives:

• To evaluate the effect of alirocumab in comparison with ezetimibe on LDL-C at other time points

• To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on other lipid parameters

• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab

• Phase: Phase 3
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Sanofi
• Collaborator: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals
• Treatments: Antibodies, Monoclonal; Ezetimibe

Criteria

Inclusion criteria:

Participants with hypercholesterolemia and established coronary heart disease (CHD) or CHD risk equivalents who were not adequately controlled with a maximally tolerated daily dose of statin at stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to the screening visit (Week -2).

Exclusion criteria:

• Age < 18 or legal age of adulthood, whichever was greater

• Participants without established CHD or CHD risk equivalents

• LDL-C <70 mg/dL (<1.81 mmol/L) and participants with a history of documented cardiovascular disease

• LDL-C <100 mg/dL (<2.59 mmol/L) and participants without a history of documented CV disease

• Fasting serum triglycerides >400 mg/dL (>4.52 mmol/L)
