Evinacumab for High Cholesterol
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
This is an open-label study designed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of evinacumab, a fully human ANGPTL3 antibody, in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH), in a real-life setting in Canada. Eligible patients for this study are male and female adult patients with HoFH. Evinacumab will be added on top of the patient's background lipid-modifying therapy (LMT), including statins, ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitors, lomitapide or other lipid lowering therapies. This study will be conducted using an hybrid (on-site, foldable sites) approach. Patients will enter the current study, in an open-label treatment period, following their screening. This study will continue until reimbursement of evinacumab in Canada or for a maximum of 24 months. The end of study (EoS) visit will be scheduled 4 weeks after the last dose has been injected and will be followed by a 52-week follow-up.
Eligibility Criteria
Adults with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) who are already on or need additional lipid-lowering therapy can join this trial. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, and women able to have children but not using effective birth control, cannot participate.Inclusion Criteria
