Summary
Brief summary
The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of evolocumab subcutaneous (SC)
monotherapy every 2 weeks (Q2W) and monthly (QM), compared with placebo and ezetimibe, on
percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in adults with a
10-year Framingham risk score of 10% or less.
