Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Number of Participants With Adverse Events
The severity of each adverse event (AE) was graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for AEs (NCI-CTCAE) grading scale, where grade 1 = mild AE, grade 2 = moderate AE, grade 3 = severe AE, grade 4 = life-threatening AE and grade 5 = death due to AE.
From first dose of study drug in Study 20110271 up to 30 days after the last dose or until the end of study date, whichever was earlier; median duration of treatment was 48.7 months.
Secondary Outcomes (7)

Study Arms (1)
Evolocumab
EXPERIMENTALParticipants received 420 mg evolocumab every month (participants not on lipid apheresis) or every 2 weeks (participants on lipid apheresis) for up to 5 years. Participants could switch dosing regimens at week 12 or 24 based on LDL-C and serum unbound proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) levels.
Interventions
Evolocumab was administered by subcutaneous injection either once a month (QM) or once every two weeks (Q2W).
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- \- Participated in Study 20110233 (NCT01588496) or another qualifying evolocumab parent protocol and have a diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia.
- Have a diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia AND
- Males and females ≥ 12 to ≤ 80 years of age
- Stable low-fat diet and lipid-lowering therapies for at least 4 weeks
- Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) \>= 130 mg/dl (3.4 mmol/L) for subjects without diagnosed coronary heart disease (CHD)/CHD risk equivalent OR LDL-C \>= 100 mg/dl (2.6 mmol/L) for subjects with diagnosed CHD or CHD risk equivalent OR apheresis patients have no LDL-C entry requirement
- Fasting triglycerides ≤ 400 mg/dL(4.5 mmol/L)
- Body weight of \> 40 kg or greater at screening for subjects less than 18 years of age
You may not qualify if:
- New York Heart Failure Association (NYHA) class III or IV or last known left ventricular ejection fraction \< 30%

- Planned cardiac surgery or revascularization
- Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia
- Uncontrolled hypertension
