Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
|
Inclusion criteria: 1. Provision of signed informed consent prior to any study-specific
procedure.
2. Patient reported SI due to an adverse safety effect that started or
increased during statin therapy and resolved or improved when statin
therapy was discontinued resulting in an inability to tolerate:
• 2 or more statins at any dose, or
• 1 statin at any dose and unwilling to attempt a second statin or
advised by a physician to not attempt a second statin.
Please note that patients currently tolerating very low dose statin
therapy (an average daily dose of rosuvastatin <5 mg, atorvastatin <10
mg, simvastatin <10 mg, lovastatin <20 mg, pravastatin <40 mg,
fluvastatin <40 mg, or pitavastatin <2 mg) are considered to be
intolerant to that low dose statin. Patients may continue taking very low
dose statin therapy throughout the study provided that it is stable (used
for at least 4 weeks prior to screening) and well tolerated.
3. Written confirmation by both patient and investigator that the patient
is statin intolerant as defined above, aware of the benefit of statin use
to reduce the risk of MACE including death, and also aware that many
other patients who are unable to tolerate a statin are able to tolerate a
different statin or dose.
4. Age =18 years or legal age of majority based on regional law,
whichever is greater, and =85 years at Week -5 (Visit S1).
5. Men and nonpregnant, nonlactating women. Women must be one of
the following:
• Naturally postmenopausal defined as =1 year without menses and:
o =55 years, or
o <55 years with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) =40.0 IU/L, or
• Surgically sterile including hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy,
and/or tubal ligation, or
• Women of childbearing potential willing to use an acceptable
method(s) of birth control during the study and for 30 days after the end
of treatment including:
o oral, topical, injectable, or implantable birth control medications,
o placement of an intrauterine device with or without hormones,
o barrier methods including condom or occlusive cap with spermicidal
foam or spermicidal jelly,
o vasectomized male partner who is the sole partner for this patient,
o true abstinence that is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of
the patient (periodic abstinence [eg, calendar, ovulation,
symptothermal, postovulation methods], declaration of abstinence for
the duration of the study or withdrawal are not acceptable methods of
true abstinence).
There are no protocol-specific birth control requirements for men with
partners who are able to become pregnant.
6. Fasting LDL-C =100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L) at Week -5 (Visit S1) while
taking stable (4 weeks prior to Visit S1) and optimized background LDLC-
lowering therapies that may include very low dose statin (see
definition above), ezetimibe, niacin, bile acid resins, fibrates, and/or
proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors.
7. History of, or at high risk for, CVD including documented evidence of
one or more of the following:
a. Documented history of CVD (ie, secondary prevention)
• Coronary artery disease, defined by:

revascularization, peripheral arterial revascularization, ischemic stroke,
carotid endarterectomy, carotid stenting.
b. Recent (within 90 days of screening) unstable or symptomatic cardiac
arrhythmia (including any associated medication changes). Patients with
stable well-controlled atrial arrhythmias will be allowed to participate in
the study.

and/or radiation in the past 5 years. Nonmetastatic basal or squamous
cell carcinoma of the skin and cervical carcinoma in situ are allowed.
10. Unexplained creatine kinase (CK) >3 × ULN at Week -5 (Visit S1) (ie,
not associated with recent trauma or physically strenuous activity).
Patients with an explained CK elevation must have single repeat CK =3 ×
ULN prior to randomization.
11. History within the last 2 years of drug, alcohol, amphetamine and
derivatives, or cocaine abuse. Patients with amphetamine derivatives
prescribed by and under the care of a health care practitioner can be
enrolled after evaluation by the investigator.
12. Blood transfusion for any reason within 30 days prior to
randomization.
13. Use of any experimental or investigational drugs within 30 days prior
to screening or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer.

Primary Outcome(s)
|
Main Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate whether administration of bempedoic acid 180 mg/day versus placebo reduces the risk of MACE (Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event) in patients with, or at high risk for, CVD who are statin intolerant.
|

|
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: MACE is defined as CV death, nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke or coronary revascularization.
|
Secondary Objective: • To evaluate whether long-term treatment with bempedoic acid 180 mg/day versus placebo reduces the risk of other clinical endpoints of CV morbidity and mortality and all-cause mortality.
• To evaluate the effect of long-term treatment with bempedoic acid 180 mg/day versus placebo on LDL-C and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP).
• To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of bempedoic acid 180 mg/day compared to placebo.
• To evaluate the 12-month efficacy of treatment with bempedoic acid 180 mg/day versus placebo on absolute change in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1C) in the inadequately controlled diabetes efficacy population (patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and having an HbA1C of 7% or greater at baseline) • To evaluate whether long-term treatment with bempedoic acid 180 mg/day versus placebo reduces the risk of new-onset diabetes
