Evolocumab Plus Ezetimibe in Haemodialized Statin-intolerant Patients With Hypercholesterolemia

Hypercholesterolemia Clinical Trial

Official title:
Phase IV Study for Efficacy and Safety of Evolocumab Added to Ezetimibe (Standard of Care) in High Cardiovascular Risk Haemodialized Statin Intolerant Patients With Hypercholesterolemia

Clinical Trial Summary

Evolocumab is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) and lowers low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, reducing in turn the risk of cardiovascular events. Whether evolcumab is effective in haemodialized patients is uncertain. The investigators will conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to assess the feasibility, safety, and LDL-C-lowering efficacy of evolocumab in high cardiovascular risk haemodialized statin intolerant patients with hypercholesterolemia. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive evolocumab (140 mg subcutaneous every 2 weeks + ezetimibe 10 mg per os daily) or matching placebo (subcutaneous every 2 weeks + ezetimibe 10 mg per os daily) for 24 weeks. The primary efficacy end point will be the proportion of patients that will reduce LDL-C < 55 mg/dL in the evolocumab group compared to placebo at 24 weeks. The key secondary efficacy end points will be: the reduction of LDL-C from baseline at 4, 6 and 12 weeks; the reduction of HDL-C, non-HDL cholesterol and triglycerides from baseline at 24 weeks. Every adverse event (serious and non-serious) correlated to drug infusion will be recorded (safety end-point).
