Study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AMG 145, in people with elevated LDL-C and not treated with any other lipid-lowering medications.To do this, AMG 145 will be compared with placebo and with ezetimibe.

A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo and Ezetimibe-controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Lipid Lowering Monotherapy With AMG 145 in Subjects With a 10-Year Framingham Risk Score of 10% or Less. MENDEL-2 Monoclonal antibody against PCSK9 to reduce Elevated LDL-C in subjects currently Not receiving Drug therapy for Easing Lipid levels
