Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)Up to Week 82
TEAEs are defined as adverse events that began or worsened in severity after the first dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP) until 30 days after the last dose in the Open-Label Extension (OLE) Study.
SecondaryPercent Change From Parent Study Baseline in Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) at Weeks 52 and 78Baseline; Week 52 and Week 78
Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as: LDL-C value at Week 52/Week 78 minus Parent Study Baseline value divided by Parent Study Baseline value multiplied by 100. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values at screening and predose Day 1/Week 0 (Visit T1) in the Parent Study.
SecondaryMean Change From Parent Study Baseline in LDL-C at Weeks 52 and 78Baseline; Week 52 and Week 78
Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Mean change from Baseline was calculated as: Mean LDL-C value at Week 52/Week 78 minus Mean Parent Study Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values at screening and predose Day 1/Week 0 (Visit T1) in the Parent Study.
SecondaryPercent Change From Parent Study Baseline in Non-High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (Non-HDL-C) at Weeks 52 and 78Baseline; Week 52 and Week 72
Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as: non-HDL-C value at Week 52/Week 78 minus Parent Study Baseline value divided by Parent Study Baseline value multiplied by 100. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values at screening and predose Day 1/Week 0 (Visit T1) in the Parent Study.
SecondaryPercent Change From Parent Study Baseline in Total Cholesterol at Weeks 52 and 78Baseline; Week 52 and Week 78
Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as: Total cholesterol value at Week 52/Week 78 minus Parent Study Baseline value divided by Parent Study Baseline value multiplied by 100. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values at screening and predose Day 1/Week 0 (Visit T1) in the Parent Study.
SecondaryPercent Change From Parent Study Baseline in Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) at Weeks 52 and 78Baseline; Week 52 and Week 78
Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as: ApoB value at Week 52/Week 78 minus Parent Study Baseline value divided by Parent Study Baseline value multiplied by 100. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values at screening and predose Day 1/Week 0 (Visit T1) in the Parent Study.
SecondaryPercent Change From Parent Study Baseline in High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (Hs-CRP) at Weeks 52 and 78Baseline; Week 52 and Week 78
Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as: hs-CRP value at Week 52/Week 78 minus Parent Study Baseline value divided by Parent Study Baseline value multiplied by 100. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values at screening and predose Day 1/Week 0 (Visit T1) in the Parent Study.
SecondaryPercent Change From Parent Study Baseline in Triglycerides at Weeks 52 and 78Baseline; Week 52 and Week 78
Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as: Triglycerides value at Week 52/Week 78 minus Parent Study Baseline value divided by Parent Study Baseline value multiplied by 100. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values at screening and predose Day 1/Week 0 (Visit T1) in the Parent Study.
SecondaryPercent Change From Parent Study Baseline in High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) at Weeks 52 and 78Baseline; Week 52 and Week 78
Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as: HDL-C value at Week 52/Week 78 minus Parent Study Baseline value divided by Parent Study Baseline value multiplied by 100. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values at screening and predose Day 1/Week 0 (Visit T1) in the Parent Study.
SecondaryPercent Change From Open-Label Extension (OLE) Study Baseline in LDL-C at Weeks 52 and 78Baseline; Week 52 and Week 78
Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as: LDL-C value at Week 52/Week 78 minus OLE Study Baseline value divided by Parent Study Baseline value multiplied by 100. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing record prior to treatment start in the OLE Study.
