Brief Summary

The purpose of this post-marketing survey is to obtain real-world information on the safety and effectiveness of evolocumab in Japan.

Detailed Description

The objectives of study are to 1) determine the incidence of adverse events and adverse drug reactions among patients receiving evolocumab for up to 2 years, and 2) identify and describe patient characteristics (e.g. demographics, medical history) associated with the safety and effectiveness of evolocumab therapy for the patients with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (Heterozygous or Homozygous) and Hypercholesterolemia in Japan

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Laboratory values for HDL-C2 years
Incidence of adverse events and adverse drug reactions2 years

The incidence of adverse events and drug reactions will be described using the same units (events per 1000 person-years). Adverse events (including seriousness and causal relations to drug or device), inclusive of reaction at local injection sites, and other safety information (e.g. overdose, lack of effectiveness, pregnancy and lactation with or without adverse event) will be described.

Laboratory values for LDL-C2 years
Laboratory values for total cholesterol2 years
Laboratory values for triglycerides2 years
Laboratory values for lipoprotein(a)2 years

This will be measured if feasible.

Laboratory values for Apolipoprotein (Apo) A12 years

This will be measured if feasible.

Laboratory values for Apolipoprotein (Apo) Apo B2 years

This will be measured if feasible.

Laboratory values for Apolipoprotein (Apo) Apo E2 years

This will be measured if feasible.
