Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 4.1.1 Signed informed consent 4.1.2 Male or female = 40 to = 85 years of age at signing of informed consent 4.1.3 History of clinically evident cardiovascular disease as evidenced by ANY of the following: o diagnosis of myocardial infarction o diagnosis of non-hemorrhagic stroke (TIA does not qualify as stroke for inclusion) o symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD), as evidenced by intermittent claudication with ankle-brachial index (ABI) 5 years prior to screening will be determined by the sponsor 4.1.4 At least 1 major risk factor or at least 2 minor risk factors below: Major Risk Factors (1 Required): o diabetes (type 1 or type 2) o age = 65 years at randomization (and = 85 years at time of informed consent) o MI or non-hemorrhagic stroke within 6 months of screening o additional diagnosis of myocardial infarction or non-hemorrhagic stroke excluding qualifying MI or non-hemorrhagic stroke (a) o current daily cigarette smoking o history of symptomatic PAD (intermittent claudication with ABI 2.0 mg/L by central laboratory before randomization o Most recent LDL-C = 130 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/L) or non-HDL-C = 160 mg/dL (4.1 mmol/L) by central laboratory before randomization o metabolic syndrome (b) 4.1.5 Most recent fasting LDL-C = 70 mg/dL (= 1.8 mmol/L) or non-HDL-C = 100 mg/dL (= 2.6 mmol/L) by central laboratory during screening after = 2 weeks of stable lipid lowering therapy per Appendix E 4.1.6 Most recent fasting triglycerides = 400 mg/dL (4.5 mmol/L) by central laboratory before randomization (a)Note: there is no time limit on additional qualifying medical history. (b)Definition: metabolic syndrome for this protocol is defined as = 3 of the following (Alberti et al, 2009): • waist circumference > 102 cm (> 40 in.) for men and > 88 cm (> 35 in.) for women (Asian men, including Japanese > 90 cm; Asian women, except Japanese > 80 cm; Japanese women > 90 cm) • triglycerides = 150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L) by central laboratory at final screening • HDL-C =65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 12375

Main Objective: To evaluate the effect of treatment with evolocumab, compared with placebo, on the risk for cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, or coronary revascularization, whichever occurs first, in subjects with clinically evident cardiovascular disease.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are to evaluate the effect of treatment with evolocumab, compared with placebo, in subjects with clinically evident cardiovascular disease on the risk for: • cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke • cardiovascular death • death by any cause • myocardial infarction • stroke • coronary revascularization • cardiovascular death or hospital admissions for worsening heart failure • fatal or non-fatal ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the time to cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, hospitalization for unstable angina, stroke, or coronary revascularization, whichever occurs first. (Note: The primary endpoint includes all adjudicated strokes, ischemic and hemorrhagic.);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary endpoint is the time to cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, hospitalization for unstable angina, stroke, or coronary revascularization, whichever occurs first.
