Additional analyses included
the relationship between Lp(a) lowering and lowering of
UC LDL-C and apolipoprotein B and the effects of sex,
age, baseline LDL-C and statin therapy on Lp(a) lowering.
In addition, the phase II open-label extension study
(NCT01439880) allowed for evaluation of evolocumab
maintenance or discontinuation on Lp(a) levels during the
first 12 weeks of follow-up for patients re-randomized to
receive either evolocumab, 420 mg Q4W, or to continue with
background lipid-lowering standard of care (SOC) therapy.
