- Conditions
- HypercholesterolemiaFamilial Hypercholesterolemia
- Interventions
- Other: No intervention
- Registration Number
- NCT02808403
- Lead Sponsor
- Amgen
- 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
Recruitment & Eligibility
- Status
- COMPLETED

- All
- Target Recruitment
- 6000
- Patients for whom evolocumab is prescribed at participating medical institutions in accordance with the approved Japan prescribing information (i.e., those with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (Heterozygous or Homozygous and Hypercholesterolemia who have high risk factors for cardiovascular event and do not respond sufficiently to HMGCoA reductase inhibitor (statin) for hypercholesterolemia).
- No exclusion criteria are applied.

Group Intervention Description Evolocumab exposed No intervention Patients for whom evolocumab is prescribed. Dosage, period (start/end date), frequency of injection (Every 2 weeks (Q2W), Every 4 weeks (Q4W)), drug withdrawal (Yes or No, date, reason) and injection site (upper arm, abdomen, thigh) of evolocumab will be collected.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Laboratory values for HDL-C 2 years Incidence of adverse events and adverse drug reactions 2 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-C 2 years Laboratory values for total cholesterol 2 years Laboratory values for triglycerides 2 years Laboratory values for lipoprotein(a) 2 years This will be measured if feasible.
Laboratory values for Apolipoprotein (Apo) A1 2 years This will be measured if feasible.
Laboratory values for Apolipoprotein (Apo) Apo B 2 years This will be measured if feasible.
Laboratory values for Apolipoprotein (Apo) Apo E 2 years This will be measured if feasible.
