6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

Adverse Reactions in Adults with Hypercholesterolemia The data in Table 1 are derived from 3 placebo-controlled trials that included 1,833 adults with hypercholesterolemia treated with LEQVIO, including 1,682 exposed for 18 months (median treatment duration of 77 weeks) [see Clinical Studies (14)] .

The mean age of the population was 64 years, 32% of the population were female, 92% were White, 6% were Black or African American, 1% were Asian, and < 1% were other races;

6% identified as Hispanic or Latino ethnicity.

At baseline, 12% of patients had a diagnosis of HeFH and 85% had clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).

Adverse reactions reported in at least 3% of LEQVIO-treated patients, and more frequently than in placebo-treated patients, are shown in Table
