Treatment of Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia With ANGPTL3 Inhibitor, Evinacumab

open access: yesJCEM Case Reports, 2023
Abstract Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is an ultra-rare, life-threatening, genetic condition characterized by markedly elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Standard lipid-lowering therapies minimally reduce LDL-C in these patients, and lifelong serial apheresis is the mainstay of treatment ...

Individualized dosing of evinacumab is predicted to yield reductions in drug expenses [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Lipidology, 2023
Evinacumab is a first-in-class inhibitor of angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) for treatment of the rare disease homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). With projected drug costs of $450,000 per person per year, the question rises if cost-efficacy of evinacumab can be further improved.To develop an individualized dosing regimen te reduce ...

Evinacumab for Pediatric Patients With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

open access: yesCirculation
BACKGROUND: Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by severely elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels due to profoundly defective LDL receptor (LDLR) function.

The Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of Evinacumab in Patients With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

open access: yesJACC: Advances, 2023
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is characterized by early-onset atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease due to the high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) burden. Patients with null-null low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) variants respond poorly, if at all, to statins and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 ...

Evinacumab: a new option in the treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia

Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2022
Familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder characterized by elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) since birth and an exceedingly high risk of premature cardiovascular disease, especially in the homozygous form (HoFH). Despite the availability of effective cholesterol-lowering drugs, substantial LDL-C and cardiovascular

Efficacy and Safety of Evinacumab for the Treatment of Hypercholesterolemia: A Meta-Analysis

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 2021
Abstract: Angiopoietin-like protein 3 is essential in lipid metabolism regulation. However, the efficacy and safety of evinacumab (angiopoietin-like protein 3 inhibition drug) for hypercholesterolemia treatment is unknown. In this study, a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of ...

Will evinacumab become the standard treatment for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia?

Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2020
Introduction: Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a very severe genetic form of hypercholesterolemia. Lacking LDL receptors in the liver, subjects with HoFH have raised plasma levels of LDL cholesterol, and up to 100 times higher risk of premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease than the general population.Areas covered: This ...
