Safety and Effectiveness of Evinacumab for the Treatment of Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- HoFH patients having been previously or being currently treated with evinacumab or clinical diagnosis of HoFH requiring additional lipid lowering therapy.
Exclusion Criteria:

-
Pregnant or breastfeeding women;
-
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.
