Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Evinacumab in Pediatric Patients With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

The primary objective for Part A of the study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of evinacumab in pediatric patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).

The primary objective for Part B of the study is to demonstrate a reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by evinacumab in pediatric (5 to 11 years of age) patients with HoFH.

The secondary objective for Part A of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of evinacumab administered intravenous (IV) in pediatric patients with HoFH.

The secondary objectives for Part B of the study are:

* To evaluate the effect of evinacumab on other lipid parameters (ie, apolipoprotein B (Apo B), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), lipoprotein a [Lp(a)]) in pediatric patients with HoFH * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of evinacumab administered IV in pediatric patients with HoFH * To assess the PK of evinacumab in pediatric patients with HoFH * To assess the immunogenicity of evinacumab in pediatric patients with HoFH over time * To evaluate patient efficacy by mutation status

Treatment and study plan

Evinacumab

Drug

Part A: Single IV dose Part B & C: IV dose Q4W

Other names: REGN1500, Evkeeza™

Primary outcomes

  1. Part A: Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of Evinacumab

    Time frame: At day 12

    Cmax was obtained directly from the plasma concentration versus time curve.

  2. Part A: Area Under the Serum Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to the Time of the Last Measurable Concentration (AUClast) of Evinacumab

    Time frame: Up to Week 12

    AUClast was defined as area under the serum concentration time-curve from zero to the last measured concentration.

  3. Part A: Terminal Half-Life (t1/2) of Evinacumab

    Time frame: Up to week 12

    T1/2 was defined as the time required for the plasma concentration of drug to decrease 50 percent in the final stage of its elimination.

  4. Part B: Percent Change in Calculated Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) From Baseline to Week 24

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 24

    Percent change was calculated as 100 multiplied by (calculated LDL-C value at Week 24 minus calculated LDL-C value at baseline) divided by calculated LDL-C value at baseline.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Part A and Part B: Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: Part A: up to Week 24; Part B: up to Week 48

    Any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received investigational medicinal product (IMP) was considered an AE without regard to possibility of causal relationship with this treatment. A serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening, required initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, or considered as medically important event. TEAE was defined as AE starting/worsening after first intake of study drug. TEAE included participants with both serious and non-serious AEs.

    1 participant experienced an AE during part B that was recorded after Part B database lock. This was not reflected in the reported endpoint number of participants of 10.

  2. Part B: Percent Change in Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) From Baseline to Week 24

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 24

    Percent change in Apo B from baseline to Week 24 was reported.

  3. Part B: Percent Change in Non-High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (Non-HDL-C) From Baseline to Week 24

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 24

    Percent change in Non-HDL-C from baseline to Week 24 was reported.

    Percentage of participants who achieved reduction in calculated LDL-C ≥ 50% at Week 24 was reported.

  6. Part B: Percent Change in Calculated Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) From Baseline to Week 24 in Participants Who Have Negative/Negative and Null/Null Mutations

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 24

    Participants with HoFH was classified based on the phenotype of the Low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) mutation(s), ranging from defective mutations (where the LDLR retains some LDL-binding functionality) to null or negative mutations where no functioning LDLR was expressed. Participants who have LDLR activity <15% are considered null and participants whose LDLR activity was impaired but >15% are LDLR defective. Percent change in calculated LDL-C from baseline to Week 24 in participants who have negative/negative and null/null mutations was reported.

  7. Part B: Percent Change in Lipoprotein A (Lp[a]) From Baseline to Week 24

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 24

    Percent change in Lp(a) from baseline to Week 24 was reported.

  8. Part B: Absolute Change in Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) From Baseline at Week 24

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 24

    Absolute change in LDL-C from baseline at Week 24 was reported

  9. Part B: Serum Concentration of Total Evinacumab

    Time frame: Pre-dose at Weeks 0, 4, 8, 12; End of infusion at Weeks 0.006, 4.006, 8.006, 12.006 and 24

    Maximum serum concentration (Cmax,ss) steady state following drug administration.

  11. Part B: Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve at Steady State (AUCtau.ss) of Evinacumab

    Time frame: Post-dose up to day 169

    AUCtau.ss was defined as area under the serum concentration-time curve at steady state of evinacumab

  12. Part B: Minimum Serum Concentration at Steady State (Ctrough.ss) of Evinacumab

    Time frame: Post-dose up to day 169

    Ctrough.ss was defined as minimum serum concentration at steady state of evinacumab

  13. Part B: Percent Change in Calculated Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) From Baseline to Week 24 in Participants Who Have by Null/Null vs. Non-null/Null and Negative/Negative vs.Non-negative/Negative Mutations
