A Multicenter, Open-label Study to Assess the Long-term Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Evolocumab (AMG145) on LDL-C in Subjects With Severe Familial Hypercholesterolemia
A study to assess the long term safety and tolerability of evolocumab (AMG 145) in
adolescents and adults with severe familial hypercholesterolemia.
adolescents and adults with severe familial hypercholesterolemia.
This phase 2/3 open-label extension study was designed to characterize the safety and
tolerability of long-term administration of evolocumab to adults and adolescents with severe
FH (HoFH or non-HoFH severe FH). Participants not on lipid apheresis at enrollment or within
the prior 8 weeks initiated treatment with evolocumab 420 mg once monthly (QM). Participants
on lipid apheresis at enrollment initiated treatment with evolocumab 420 mg once every 2
weeks (Q2W). Dose frequency changes (420 mg QM vs 420 mg Q2W) were permitted at week 12, 24,
or other visits with Sponsor approval. Participants with < 5% LDL-C reduction from baseline
and serum unbound proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) < 100 ng/mL could
discontinue evolocumab. If serum unbound PCSK9 was ≥ 100 ng/mL with QM dosing, the
participant could switch to evolocumab 420 mg Q2W treatment. Participants on apheresis with ≥
5% LDL-C reduction from baseline and serum unbound PCSK9 < 100 ng/mL with Q2W treatment could
switch to QM dosing.
Participants were to continue to receive open-label evolocumab for up to 5 years or until
evolocumab became commercially available in the relevant patient population, whichever
occurred first.
