    Study design: ODYSSEY OUTCOMES was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 study. Patients with a recent MI or unstable angina, and on high-intensity statin (40 or 80 mg atorvastatin or 20 or 40 mg rosuvastatin, or maximally tolerated dose of one of these agents) +/- other lipid-lowering therapy but not at predefined target LDL-C were enrolled.2

    PRALUENT® APPROVED TO REDUCE CV RISK

    Praluent (alirocumab) is indicated in adults with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease to reduce cardiovascular risk by lowering LDL-C levels, as an adjunct to correction of other risk factors:

    • in combination with the maximum tolerated dose of a statin with or without other lipid-lowering therapies or,
    • alone or in combination with other lipid-lowering therapies in patients who are statin-intolerant, or for whom a statin is contraindicated1
