Conclusions Alirocumab treatment achieved a significantly greater reduction in LDL-C and allowed a greater proportion
of patients to achieve LDL-C goals, versus placebo after 24 weeks in high cardiovascular risk patients with suboptimally
controlled hypercholesterolemia at baseline despite receiving maximally tolerated statin with or without other lipid-lowering
therapy. The frequency of treatment-emergent adverse events and study medication discontinuations were generally
comparable between treatment groups. (Am Heart J 2015;169:906-915.e13.)
