Safety and Tolerability of Repatha® (Evolocumab) in Indian Participants With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

A Multicenter, Open-label, Single-arm, Study to Evaluate Safety and Tolerability of Repatha in Patients With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) in India

To describe the safety and tolerability of evolocumab in participants with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) in India. All participants will receive evolocumab over an 8-week period.

An open-label, multicentre, phase 4 study to describe the safety and tolerability of evolocumab in 30 Indian participants with HoFH. Subjects who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria and laboratory assessments at screening will be enrolled and will be required to maintain their current lipid-lowering drug therapy throughout the duration of the trial. Participants will receive evolocumab 420 mg subcutaneous (SC) once monthly (QM) and study visits will occur approximately every 4 weeks. Apheresis participants will receive evolocumab 420 mg SC every 2 weeks to correspond with their apheresis schedule. Final administration of evolocumab (for all participants) will occur at week 8. The end of study (EOS) visit will occur at week 12 for all participants.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Male or female ≥ 12 to ≤ 80 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent
• Diagnosis of HoFH based on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), familial history and xanthoma
• On a low-fat diet and receiving background lipid-lowering therapy stable for 4 weeks prior to screening and during the time frame of the trial
• Fasting LDL-C at screening > 130 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/L)
• Fasting triglycerides at screening ≤ 400 mg/dL (4.5 mmol/L)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Use of mipomersen or lomitapide within 6 months of screening.
• Known active infection or major hematologic, renal, metabolic, gastrointestinal, hepatic, or endocrine dysfunction
• Currently receiving treatment in another investigational device or drug study, or less than 30 days since ending treatment on another investigational device or drug study(ies)
• Female subject is pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant or breastfeed

• Subject has known sensitivity to any of the products to be administered during dosing
