E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by REGN727 as add-on therapy to atorvastatin in comparison with ezetimibe (EZE) as add-on therapy to atorvastatin, in comparison with doubling the atorvastatin dose, or in comparison with a therapy switch from atorvastatin to rosuvastatin, after 24 weeks of treatment |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
-To evaluate the reduction of LDL-C by REGN727 75 mg as add-on therapy to atorvastatin in comparison with EZE as add-on therapy to atorvastatin, in comparison with doubling of the atorvastatin dose, or in comparison with a switch from atorvastatin to rosuvastatin after 12 weeks of treatment.
-To evaluate the effect of REGN727 on other lipid parameters eg, apolipoprotein (Apo) B, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), total-cholesterol (C), lipoprotein a (Lp[a]), HDL-C, triglycerides (TG) levels, and ApoA-1 levels.
-To evaluate the safety and tolerability of REGN727.
-To evaluate the development of anti-REGN727 drug antibodies (ADA).

E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Title: A Randomized, Double-Blind Study of the Efficacy and Safety of REGN727 Added-on to Atorvastatin versus Ezetimibe Added-on to Atorvastatin versus Atorvastatin Dose Increase versus Switch to Rosuvastatin in Patients Who are Not Controlled on Atorvastatin.
Objectives: to identify genetic associations with clinical or biomarker response to PCSK9 inhibition, hyperlipidemia, or CVD. If needed, samples may also be used to identify markers associated with toxicity. |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. A patient must meet either 1a or 1b to be eligible for inclusion in the study:
a. Patients with screening (visit 1) LDL-C ≥70 mg/dL (1.81 mmol/L) who are not adequately controlled with a 20 mg or 40 mg stable daily dose of atorvastatin for at least 4 weeks before the screening visit (visit 1), with or without other LMT (excluding EZE). Patients with heFH* or non-FH must also have a history of documented CHD (defined below), or non-CHD CVD (defined below), or diabetes mellitus with target organ damage.
OR
b. Patients with screening (visit 1) LDL-C ≥100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L) who are not adequately controlled with a 20 mg or 40 mg daily dose of atorvastatin for at least 4 weeks before the screening visit (visit 1), with or without other LMT (excluding EZE). Patients must also have heFH*, or have non-FH, without CHD or non-CHD CVD, but with a calculated 10-year fatal CVD risk SCORE ≥5%, or with moderate CKD, or with diabetes mellitus but no target organ damage.
Note: Details for the inclusion criteria are provided below.
2. Provide signed informed consent |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
LDL-C <70 mg/dL (<1.81 mmol/L) in patients with CVD
LDL-C <100 mg/dL (<2.59 mmol/L) in patients without CVD, but with other risk factors
LDL-C >250 mg/dL or TG >400 mg/dL
Homozygous FH or patients receiving plasmapheresis

Use of ezetimibe or red yeast rice products within 4 weeks of screening
Use of systemic corticosteroids or use of fibrates, other than fenofibrate within 6 weeks of the screening
eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73m2
ALT or AST aminotransferase >3 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
