Trial name or title ODYSSEY DM‐Dyslipidemia
Methods Open‐label parallel randomised controlled trials
Participants Inclusion criteria
  • Patients with type 2 diabetes and mixed dyslipidaemia whose non‐high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (non‐HDL‐C) is not adequately controlled with a stable, maximum dose/regimen of statin that is tolerated by the patient

  • 18 years of age or older

  • Documented history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or at least 1 additional cardiovascular risk factor

  • Non‐HDL‐C ≥ 100 mg/dL

  • Triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dL and < 500 mg/dL

  • Stable antihyperglycaemic agents for ≥ 3 months

  • No change in weight ≥ 5 kg within the prior 3 months

  • On stable dose of medications that are known to influence weight and/or lipids within the previous 3 months


Exclusion criteria
  • Use of any lipid‐modifying therapies other than statins within the previous 4 weeks (e.g. ezetimibe, fenofibrate, nicotinic acid, omega‐3 fatty acids) or use of over‐the‐counter products/nutraceuticals known to impact lipids (e.g. red yeast rice) within previous 4 weeks

  • Currently drinking more than 2 standard alcoholic drinks per day

  • Body mass index (BMI) > 45 kg/m² or currently enrolled in a weight loss programme and still in active phase of weight loss

  • Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥ 9%

Interventions
  • Experimental: Alirocumab will be injected subcutaneously every 2 weeks starting with dose 1, with potential blinded uptitration to dose 2 at week 12. Background therapy such as antihyperglycaemic agents and statins will be administered as applicable or as per Investigator's judgement. Placebo injection for training purposes will be administered to participants Interventions: drug: ALIROCUMAB SAR236553 (REGN727)


Drug: placebo Drug: statins
  • Active comparator: Usual care will be administered orally on the basis of selection of the investigator before randomisation and includes initiation of ezetimibe, fenofibrate, nicotinic acid or omega‐3 fatty acids. Alternatively, if randomised to the usual care arm, the investigator may select no additional lipid‐lowering agents. Background therapy such as antihyperglycaemic agents and statins will be administered as applicable or as per Investigator's judgement. Placebo injection for training purposes will be administered to participantsI
