Percentage change from the phase 2 parent study baseline at week 52 in apolipoprotein B (ApoB), lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]), triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1). The changes in lipid parameters from baseline in patients receiving evolocumab were all statistically significant (p<0.0001, except for the changes in triglycerides which were p<0.05). The reductions in lipid parameters were greater for patients receiving evolocumab+SOC vs SOC alone (p≤0.0002). Error bars represent the standard error. Data in parentheses represent interquartile ranges. Adapted from Koren et al.. SOC: standard of care.
