Eligibility
Recruits 43 paediatric patients.
- Pregnancy Exclusion
- 1. Age ≥12 years, non pregnant, non lactating, do not plan to become pregnant during the study
- Vulnerable Population
- Includes adolescents (≥12 years). Assent and parental/guardian consent procedures are provided: multiple assent forms for younger participants (eg, Assent 12-13, Assent 12-14, Assent 14-17, Assent 15-17) and Parent/Guardian ICFs are included among submitted documents. Subject information and informed consent forms (including parental/guardian ICFs and pregnancy/newborn-related ICFs) are available for sites; materials exist in multiple language versions for different Member States.
Inclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- 1. Age ≥12 years, non pregnant, non lactating, do not plan to become pregnant during the study\n- 2. Body weight ≥35 kg at Screening as patients could theoretically be <35 kg as the study continues.\n- 3. HoFH based on a supportive genetic test or a clinical diagnosis (total cholesterol >500 mg/dL[13 mmol/L] OR treated LDL-C concentration of ≥300 mg/dL [≥8 mmol/L] either accompanied by TGs <300 mg/dL [3.4 mmol/L] AND both parents with documented total cholesterol >250 mg/dL [6.5 mmol/L] OR cutaneous or tendinous xanthoma before 10 years of age)\n- 4. LDL-C ≥70 mg/dL (1.8 mmol/L). For adolescents 12 to <18 years of age LDL-C ≥116 mg/dL (3 mmol/L)\n- 5. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≤9.5%\n- 6. Total bilirubin <2xULN, unless in previously confirmed cases of Gilbert's syndrome\n- 7. Alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase <3×ULN\n- 8.

Exclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- 1.

Use of evinacumab within 3 months before Day 1. Evinacumab use is prohibited during the study. In regions where evinacumab is available, the physician must justify and document in source documents and eCRF(s) why a patient is not receiving evinacumab therapy as part of standard of care (eg, safety, tolerability, reimbursement/cost, patient choice, etc.)\n- 4. Non-response to evinacumab, defined as LDL-C reduction <15% from baseline after 2 doses\n- 5. Use of any other investigational agent or device within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before Day 1\n- 6. Use of systemic corticosteroids (unless used as replacement therapy for pituitary/adrenal disease with a stable regimen)\n- 7. Estimated glomerular filtration rate <30 mL/min"}
Endpoints
