Number of Participants With Anti-evolocumab Antibodies57 daysBlood samples were tested using an electrochemiluminescence-based bridging immunoassay to detect antibodies capable of binding to evolocumab.
Number of Participants With Adverse EventsFrom the first dose of study drug up until Day 57The severity of each adverse event was graded using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4. A serious adverse event is defined as an adverse event that meets at least 1 of the following serious criteria: * fatal; * life threatening (places the participant at immediate risk of death); * requires in patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; * results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; * congenital anomaly/birth defect; * other medically important serious event. The investigator assessed whether each adverse event was possibly related to the study drug.
