A Multicenter, Randomized, Open-label, Parallel-group Usability Study of the Commercial 1 mL Alirocumab Auto-injector Device (AI) and the New 2 mL Auto-injector Device (SYDNEY) in High or Very High Cardiovascular Risk Patients With Hypercholesterolemia Not Adequately Controlled With Their Lipid-Modifying Therapy

Primary Objective:

To collect real-use (usability) data assessing the robustness and user interaction of the new
alirocumab auto-injector device (which is referred to as SYDNEY), in unsupervised settings.

Secondary Objective:

Device-related:

- To collect real-use (usability) data assessing the robustness and user interaction of
SYDNEY and the current alirocumab auto-injector device (which is referred to as AI) in
supervised settings.

Pharmacokinetics:

- To compare alirocumab pharmacokinetics (PK) administered using SYDNEY and AI.

- To evaluate alirocumab PK administered using SYDNEY.

Anti-drug antibodies:

- To evaluate the development of anti-drug (alirocumab) antibodies (ADA).

Efficacy/pharmacodynamics:

- To compare the percent and absolute change in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
(LDL-C) using SYDNEY and AI.

- To evaluate the percent and absolute change in LDL-C using SYDNEY.

Safety:

- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab using both SYDNEY and AI.

Total study duration per patient is expected to be up to 18 weeks, with up to 2 weeks of
screening period and 16 weeks of study treatment period.

Inclusion criteria :

- Patients are in either category A or B (below), and are not adequately controlled with
a stable daily dose of atorvastatin (20 mg or 40 mg), or rosuvastatin (10 mg or 20 mg)
for at least 4 weeks prior to the screening visit (Week -2), with or without other
lipid-modifying therapy (LMT):

- A. Patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) (diagnosis
based on either genotyping or clinical criteria) OR

- B. Non-FH patients at high or very high cardiovascular (CV) risk. High and very
high cardiovascular risk patients include patients with coronary heart disease
(CHD), non-CHD cardiovascular disease (CVD), and other risk factors.

- Patient willing and able to self-inject for the duration of the study.

Exclusion criteria:

- Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) <70 mg/dL (<1.81 mmol/L) at the screening
visit.

- Currently taking a daily dose of statin that is not atorvastatin 20 mg or 40 mg, or
rosuvastatin 10 mg or 20 mg.

- Not on a stable dose of LMT (including statin) for at least 4 weeks, prior to the
screening visit and from screening to randomization.

- Having previously used any device for the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type
9 (PCSK9) inhibitor administration, or having participated in any clinical trial for a
PCSK9 inhibitor.

- Fasting serum Triglyceride (TG) >400 mg/dL (>4.52 mmol/L) at the screening visit.
