Efficacy and Safety of Alirocumab Versus Placebo on Top of Maximally Tolerated Lipid Lowering Therapy in Patients With Hypercholesterolemia Who Have Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes and Are Treated With Insulin (ODYSSEY DM - Insulin)

Summary

Primary Objectives: * To demonstrate the superiority of alirocumab in comparison with placebo in the reduction of calculated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in participants with diabetes treated with insulin and with hypercholesterolemia at high cardiovascular risk not adequately controlled on maximally tolerated LDL-C lowering therapy. * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab in participants with diabetes treated with insulin. Secondary Objective: To demonstrate that alirocumab was superior in comparison to placebo in its effects on other lipid parameters (i.e., measured LDL-C, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol \[non-HDL-C\], apolipoprotein B \[Apo B\], total cholesterol \[TC\], lipoprotein a \[Lp(a)\], high density lipoprotein cholesterol \[HDL-C\], triglyceride \[TG\] levels, triglyceride rich lipoproteins \[TGRL\], apolipoprotein A-1 \[Apo A-1\], apolipoprotein C-III \[Apo C-III\], and LDL particle number and size).
