Study in Participants With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH)

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) with alirocumab subcutaneous (SC) every 2 weeks (Q2W) in comparison to placebo after 12 weeks of treatment. The secondary objectives of the study are: * To evaluate the effect of alirocumab Q2W on other lipid parameters (ie, apolipoprotein \[Apo\] A-1 and B, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol \[non-HDL-C\], total-cholesterol \[TC\], proportion of participants with 15%, 30%, and 50% LDL-C reductions, Lp(a), HDL-C, triglycerides \[TG\]) in participants with HoFH * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab SC Q2W in participants with HoFH * To assess the pharmacokinetics of alirocumab SC Q2W in participants with HoFH * To assess the potential development of anti-drug (alirocumab) antibodies
