Evaluation of Alirocumab Versus Ezetimibe on Top of Statin in Asia in High Cardiovascular Risk Patients With Hypercholesterolemia

Primary Objective: To demonstrate the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by alirocumab as add-on therapy to stable maximally tolerated daily statin therapy in comparison to ezetimibe 10 mg daily after 24 weeks of treatment in Asia in participants with hypercholesterolemia at high cardiovascular (CV) risk. Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate the effect of alirocumab 75 mg in comparison with ezetimibe 10 mg on LDL-C after 12 weeks of treatment. * To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on other lipid parameters: e.g., apolipoprotein B (Apo B), non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), lipoprotein a (Lp\[a\]), HDL-C, triglycerides (TG), apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo A-1). * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab. * To evaluate the development of anti-alirocumab antibodies. * To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of alirocumab.
