Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of subcutaneous AMG 145 every-2-weeks (Q2W) or every-4-weeks (Q4W), compared with placebo, on percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) when used as monotherapy in hypercholesterolemic subjects with a 10 year Framingham risk score of 10% or less.;Secondary Objective: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of 6 dose regimens of SC AMG 145 monotherapy, compared with placebo and with ezetimibe, in subjects with hypercholesterolemia and a 10 year Framingham risk score of 10% or less - To evaluate the effects of 12 weeks of SC AMG 145 monotherapy, ezetimibe, and placebo on absolute change in LDL-C, and percent change in non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), apolipoprotein B (ApoB), total cholesterol/HDL-C ratio, and ApoB/Apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA1) ratio in subjects with hypercholesterolemia and a 10 year Framingham risk score of 10% or less - To characterize pharmacokinetics of AMG 145 following SC injection in subjects with hypercholesterolemia ;Primary end point(s): The percent change from baseline in LDL-C at week 12.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From baseline to week 12

Secondary
