Details and patient eligibility

About

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.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria :

  • Participants hospitalized for ACS (Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI], Acute non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [NSTEMI], and unstable angina.
  • LDL-C >=100 mg/dL at ACS diagnosis.
  • Participants who has stenosis with at least >50% stenosis angiographically within 1 week after the ACS onset, and has analyzable coronary intravascular Ultrasound image.
  • Participants aged >=20 years old at ACS diagnosis.
  • Negative Hepatitis B surface antigen, negative Hepatitis B core antibody, and negative Hepatitis C antibody. Or, negative Hepatitis B surface antigen, positive Hepatitis B core antibody, negative Hepatitis B deoxyribonucleic acid, and negative Hepatitis C antibody.
  • Written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria:

  • Participants who had previously treated with at least one dose of any anti-proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 monoclonal antibody.

  • Uncontrolled hypertension (multiple reading with systolic blood pressure >180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >110 mmHg) between ACS diagnosis and randomization visit.

  • Known history of hemorrhagic stroke.

  • Currently under treatment for cancer.

  • Participants on LDL apheresis.

  • Any clinically significant abnormality identified that in the judgment of the Investigator or any sub-Investigator would preclude safe completion of the study or constrain endpoints assessment such as major systemic diseases, participants with short life expectancy.

  • Considered by the Investigator or any sub-Investigator as inappropriate for this study for any reason, including:

    • Unable to meet specific protocol requirements, such as scheduled visits;
    • Investigator or any sub-Investigator, pharmacist, study coordinator, other study staff or relative thereof directly involved in the conduct of the protocol, etc;
    • Presence of any other conditions (eg, geographic, social, etc.) actual or anticipated, that the Investigator feels would restrict or limit the participant's participation for the duration of the study.
  • Laboratory findings measured within 4 weeks after the ACS diagnosis (positive serum or urine pregnancy test in females of childbearing potential).

The above information was not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a participant's potential participation in a clinical trial.

Drug: Atorvastatin
Drug: Anticoagulants
Drug: Ezetimibe
Drug: Rosuvastatin
Alirocumab
Experimental group
Description:
Alirocumab will be given subcutaneously every 2 weeks on top of stable dose statin therapy (atorvastatin or rosuvastatin) with or without stable dose non-statin LMTs.
Treatment:
Drug: Bezafibrate
Drug: Antiplatelets
Drug: Fenofibrate
Drug: Atorvastatin
Drug: Anticoagulants
Drug: Ezetimibe
Drug: Rosuvastatin
Drug: Alirocumab SAR236553
