Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of subcutaneous (SC) AMG 145 administered every 2 weeks (Q2W) and monthly (QM) when used in combination with a statin, compared with placebo, on percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in subjects with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia.;Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of SC AMG 145 Q2W and QM used in combination with a statin, compared with placebo or ezetimibe, in subjects with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia • To assess the effects of 12 weeks of SC AMG 145 Q2W and QM used in combination with a statin compared to placebo or ezetimibe, on change from baseline in LDL-C, and percent change from baseline in non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), apolipoprotein B (ApoB), total cholesterol/HDL-C ratio, ApoB/Apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA1) ratio lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], triglycerides, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), and HDL-C in subjects with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia • To assess the effects of 12 weeks SC AMG 145 Q2W and QM compared with ezetimibe, on percent of subjects attaining LDL-C < 70 mg/dL (1.8 mmol/L);Primary end point(s): Co-Primary Endpoints • Mean percent change from baseline in LDL-C at weeks 10 and 12 • Percent change from baseline in LDL-C at week 12;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Co-Primary Endpoints • Mean percent change from baseline in LDL-C at weeks 10 and 12 • Percent change from baseline in LDL-C at week 12

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Co-secondary endpoints of the means at weeks 10 and 12 and at week 12 for: Tier 1 endpoints • Change from baseline in LDL-C • Percent change from baseline in non-HDL-C • Percent change from baseline in ApoB • Percent change from baseline in the total cholesterol/HDL-C ratio • Percent change from baseline in ApoB/ApoA1 ratio Tier 2 endpoints • LDL-C response (LDL-C < 70 mg/dL [1.8 mmol/L]) • Percent change from baseline in Lp(a) • Percent change from baseline in triglycerides • Percent change from baseline in HDL-C • Percent change from baseline in VLDL-C;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Co-secondary endpoints of the means at weeks 10 and 12 and at week 12 for: Tier 1 endpoints • Change from baseline in LDL-C • Percent change from baseline in non-HDL-C • Percent change from baseline in ApoB • Percent change from baseline in the total cholesterol/HDL-C ratio • Percent change from baseline in ApoB/ApoA1 ratio Tier 2 endpoints • LDL-C response (LDL-C < 70 mg/dL [1.8 mmol/L]) • Percent change from baseline in Lp(a) • Percent change from baseline in triglycerides • Percent change from baseline in HDL-C • Percent change from baseline in VLDL-C
