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

Summary

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
