Alirocumab (SAR236553/REGN727) is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). Primary Objective of the study: * To demonstrate the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by alirocumab as add-on therapy to stable maximally tolerated daily statin therapy with or without other lipid-modifying therapy (LMT) in comparison with placebo after 24 weeks of treatment in high cardiovascular (CV) risk participants with hypercholesterolemia Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate the effect of alirocumab in comparison with placebo on LDL-C at other time points * To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on other lipid parameters * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab
The maximum study duration was 62 weeks per participant, including a 2-week screening period, 52-week randomized treatment period, and 8-week follow-up period.

Percent Change From Baseline in Calculated LDL-C at Week 24 - Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Analysis
Adjusted Least-squares (LS) means and standard errors at Week 24 were obtained from a mixed-effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) to account for missing data. All available post-baseline data from Week 4 to Week 52 regardless of status on- or off-treatment were used in the model (ITT analysis).
Time frame: From Baseline to Week 52
Percent Change From Baseline in Calculated LDL-C at Week 24 - On-Treatment Analysis
Adjusted LS means and standard errors at Week 24 were obtained from MMRM model including available post-baseline on-treatment data from Week 4 to Week 52 (i.e. up to 21 days after last injection) (on-treatment analysis).
Time frame: From Baseline to Week 52
Percent Change From Baseline in Calculated LDL-C at Week 12 - ITT Analysis
