Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percent Change From Baseline in Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) at Week 12: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Analysis
Baseline to Week 12

Adjusted least square (LS) means and standard errors were obtained from the mixed model analysis with repeated measures (MMRM) to account for missing data using all available post-baseline data from Week 4 to Week 48 regardless of status on- or off-treatment used in the model (ITT analysis).

DB Period: Percent Change From Baseline in Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) at Week 24: Intent-to-treat (ITT) Estimand
Baseline, Week 24

Adjusted least square (LS) means and standard errors (SE) were obtained from mixed-effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) model. All post-baseline data available up to Week 24 were used and missing data were accounted for by the MMRM model. MMRM model was run on participants with a Baseline value and a post-baseline value for at least one timepoint used in the model.

Percentage of SYDNEY-Associated Product Technical Complaints (PTCs) (Overall) at the Unsupervised Injections: Single-Arm Period
From Week 4 up to Week 12

SYDNEY-associated PTC was defined as any complaint reported on the participant complaint form that triggered an investigation by the device department and was categorized as either device-related, participant-related, or undetermined whether or not associated with an adverse event (AE). Overall category included total of all 3 types of PTCs. The percentage of SYDNEY-associated PTCs was calculated as: Number of PTCs / Number of unsupervised injections\*100. The confidence interval (CI) was calculated using the Wilson score method.

Percentage of SYDNEY-Associated Product Technical Complaints (PTCs) (by Type) at the Unsupervised Injections: Single-Arm Period
From Week 4 up to Week 12

SYDNEY-associated PTC was defined as any complaint reported on the participant complaint form that triggered an investigation by the device department and was categorized as either device-related, participant-related, or undetermined whether or not associated with an AE.

Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
From first injection of investigational medicinal product (IMP) up to 2 weeks after last dose of study drug (Week 120)

Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) were defined as AEs that that developed or worsened or became serious during the TEAE period (time from the first injection of study drug up to the day of the last injection of study drug + 14 days). A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was a medically important event.

Percent Change From Baseline in Calculated Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) at Week 8
Baseline, Week 8

Percent change in calculated LDL-C was defined as 100\*(calculated LDL-C value at Week 8 - calculated LDL-C value at baseline)/calculated LDL-C value at baseline. All available baseline and post-baseline calculated LDL-C value during the OLDFI efficacy treatment period \& within one of the analysis windows up to Week 8 were used in the model. OLDFI efficacy treatment period was defined as the period from first investigational medicinal product (IMP) injection to last OLDFI IMP injection + 21 days(for Cohorts 1 \& 2) or +35 days (for Cohorts 3 \& 4). Adjusted Least-squares (LS) mean \& standard error (SE) at Week 8 were obtained from mixed-effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) analysis, with fixed categorical effects of alirocumab dose/dose regimen (30 mg Q2W \[\<50 kg\], 40 mg Q2W \[\<50 kg\], 50 mg Q2W \[\>=50 kg\], 75 mg Q2W \[\>=50 kg\], 75 mg Q4W \[\<50 kg\],150 mg Q4W \[\>=50 kg\], 150 mg Q4W \[\<50 kg\] and 300 mg Q4W (\[\>=50 kg\] dose), time point \& dose/dose regimen-by-time point interaction.
