Study summary

Primary Objective:

To compare the efficacy of alirocumab (Praluent®) with standard of care (SoC) on coronary atheroma progression (percent change in normalized total atheroma volume [TAV]) after 9 months of treatment in participants who had acute coronary syndrome (ACS) within 4 weeks prior to randomization, with hypercholesterolemia treated with statin.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To compare the efficacy of alirocumab (Praluent®) with SoC on secondary endpoints including absolute change in percent atheroma volume and normalized TAV after 9 months of treatment.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of alirocumab (Praluent®) on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B, triglycerides, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and lipoprotein (a) after 9 months treatment.
  • To evaluate the safety of alirocumab (Praluent®) including the occurrence of cardiovascular events (coronary heart disease death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, fatal and non-fatal ischemic stroke, unstable angina requiring hospitalization) throughout the study.

Adverse events

Collected over All Adverse Events (AEs) were collected from signature of the informed consent form up to 21 days after last dose of study drug, or end of study, whichever comes first (up to 39 weeks) regardless of seriousness or relationship to investigational product. Non-serious events are listed at a 5% frequency threshold.
