A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Alirocumab in Patients With Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia Undergoing Lipid Apheresis Therapy
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the
effect of alirocumab in comparison with placebo on the frequency of LDL apheresis treatments
in patients with HeFH undergoing LDL apheresis therapy.
