  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [Up to Week 82]

      TEAEs are defined as adverse events that began or worsened in severity after the first dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP) until 30 days after the last dose in the Open-Label Extension (OLE) Study.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percent Change From Parent Study Baseline in Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) at Weeks 52 and 78 [Baseline; Week 52 and Week 78]

      Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as: LDL-C value at Week 52/Week 78 minus Parent Study Baseline value divided by Parent Study Baseline value multiplied by 100. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values at screening and predose Day 1/Week 0 (Visit T1) in the Parent Study.

    2. Mean Change From Parent Study Baseline in LDL-C at Weeks 52 and 78 [Baseline; Week 52 and Week 78]

      Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Mean change from Baseline was calculated as: Mean LDL-C value at Week 52/Week 78 minus Mean Parent Study Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values at screening and predose Day 1/Week 0 (Visit T1) in the Parent Study.

    3. Percent Change From Parent Study Baseline in Non-High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (Non-HDL-C) at Weeks 52 and 78 [Baseline; Week 52 and Week 72]

      Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as: non-HDL-C value at Week 52/Week 78 minus Parent Study Baseline value divided by Parent Study Baseline value multiplied by 100. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values at screening and predose Day 1/Week 0 (Visit T1) in the Parent Study.

    4. Percent Change From Parent Study Baseline in Total Cholesterol at Weeks 52 and 78 [Baseline; Week 52 and Week 78]

      Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as: Total cholesterol value at Week 52/Week 78 minus Parent Study Baseline value divided by Parent Study Baseline value multiplied by 100. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values at screening and predose Day 1/Week 0 (Visit T1) in the Parent Study.

      Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as: Triglycerides value at Week 52/Week 78 minus Parent Study Baseline value divided by Parent Study Baseline value multiplied by 100. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values at screening and predose Day 1/Week 0 (Visit T1) in the Parent Study.

    8. Percent Change From Parent Study Baseline in High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) at Weeks 52 and 78 [Baseline; Week 52 and Week 78]

    Title Percent Change From Parent Study Baseline in Non-High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (Non-HDL-C) at Weeks 52 and 78
    Description Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as: non-HDL-C value at Week 52/Week 78 minus Parent Study Baseline value divided by Parent Study Baseline value multiplied by 100. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values at screening and predose Day 1/Week 0 (Visit T1) in the Parent Study.

    Title Percent Change From OLE Baseline in Hs-CRP at Weeks 52 and 78
    Description Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as: hs-CRP value at Week 52/Week 78 minus OLE Study Baseline value divided by OLE Study Baseline value multiplied by 100. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing record prior to treatment start in the OLE Study.

    Arm/Group Description In the parent study (Study 1002-040), participants received placebo tablet, once daily by mouth for 52 weeks. In addition, participants received stable background lipid-modifying therapy(ies), including a maximally tolerated statin, throughout the study. Participants received open-label bempedoic acid 180 milligrams (mg) once daily by mouth for up to 78 weeks after rolling over from the parent study, followed by a 4-week period off of IMP. In the parent study, participants received bempedoic acid 180 mg tablet, once daily by mouth for 52 weeks. In addition, participants received stable background lipid-modifying therapy(ies), including a maximally tolerated statin, throughout the study. Participants received open-label bempedoic acid 180 mg once daily by mouth for up to 78 weeks after rolling over from the parent study, followed by a 4-week period off of IMP. In the parent study, participants received either bempedoic acid 180 mg tablet or matching placebo, once daily by mouth for 52 weeks.
