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

I have HoFH and need more treatment to lower my lipids.

Exclusion Criteria

Any new condition or worsening of an existing condition, which in the opinion of the investigator would make the patient unsuitable for enrollment, or could interfere with the patient participating in or completing the study
Women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to practice highly effective contraception prior to the initial dose/start of the first treatment, during the study, and for at least 24 weeks after the last dose of study drug.
