Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of the study is to determine the proportion of patients with elevated triglycerides (TG), without familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) due to loss of function (LoF) mutations in lipoprotein lipase (LPL), and a history of hypertriglyceridemia (HTG)-associated acute pancreatitis (AP) who experience a recurrent episode of AP after treatment with evinacumab versus placebo.

The secondary objectives of the study are:

• To determine the change in the standard lipid profile after therapy with evinacumab versus placebo

• To determine the changes in specialty lipoprotein parameters (ApoC3, ApoB48, ApoB100, and nuclear magnetic resonance [NMR] lipid profile) after therapy with evinacumab versus placebo

• To measure the number of AP episodes per patient

• To assess the safety and tolerability of evinacumab

• To assess the potential immunogenicity of evinacumab

• To assess the concentrations of total evinacumab and total angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3)

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of Participants With at Least One Positively Adjudicated Acute Pancreatitis (AP) Episode	All AP (Acute Pancreatitis) episodes occurred post-study drug treatment.	Baseline to 52 weeks
Secondary	Percent Change in Apolipoprotein C3 (ApoC3) From Baseline to Week 52	Apolipoproteins transport lipids through the body by binding with fat and cholesterol to form lipoproteins. ApoC3 was a component of very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglyceride-rich chylomicrons and regulates lipid metabolism. Percent change in ApoC3 from Baseline to Week 52 was reported.	Baseline to week 52
Secondary	Percent Change in Fasting Triglycerides (TGs) - (From Baseline to Week 52)		Baseline to week 52
Secondary	Percent Change in Total Cholesterol (TC) - (Baseline to Week 52)		Baseline to week 52
Secondary	Percent Change in Non-high-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (Non-HDL-C) - (From Baseline to Week 52)		Baseline to week 52
Secondary	Percent Change in Apolipoprotein B48 (ApoB48) From Baseline to Week 52		Baseline to week 52
Secondary	Percent Change in Apolipoprotein B100 (ApoB100) Levels From Baseline to Week 52		Baseline to week 52
Secondary	Percent Change in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)-Determined Particle Size and Number From Baseline to Week 52		Baseline to week 52
Secondary	Number of Independently Adjudicated Positive Episodes of Acute Pancreatitis (AP) Per Participant		Up to 52 weeks
Secondary	Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs		From start of study drug administration up to off drug follow-up (up to Week 72)
Secondary	Number of Participants With TEAEs Based on Severity	AE was defined any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered with a study drug, which does not necessarily had a causal relationship with this treatment. TEAEs are defined as AEs that developed or worsened during the treatment period. Severity of TEAEs was graded according to the following scale: Mild: Does not interfere in a significant manner with the participants normal functioning level, Moderate: Produces some impairment of functioning but is not hazardous to health and Severe: Produces significant impairment of functioning or incapacitation and is a definite hazard to the participants health.	From start of study drug administration up to off drug follow-up (up to Week 72)
Secondary	Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline in Laboratory Parameters	Clinical laboratory parameters included biochemistry, hematology and urinalysis. The number of participants with clinically significant changes from baseline in laboratory parameters were reported. Clinical significance was determined by the investigator.	From start of study drug administration up to off drug follow-up (up to Week 72)
Secondary	Number of Participants With Positive Treatment-emergent Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADA)	Treatment-Emergent ADA was defined as any positive post baseline assay response when baseline results were negative or missing. Treatment-Emergent ADA responses were further classified as: Persistent (a positive result in the ADA assay detected in at least 2 consecutive post baseline samples separated by at least a 16-week post baseline period [based on] nominal sampling time], with no ADA-negative results in-between, regardless of any missing samples); Indeterminate (a positive result in the ADA assay at the last collection time point only, regardless of any missing samples); Transient (not persistent/indeterminate, regardless of any missing samples). Number of participants with positive treatment-emergent ADA response during Week 52 were reported.	Baseline to Week 52
Secondary	Number of Participants With Positive Neutralizing Antibodies (NAb)	NAb positive was defined as presence of at least one positive nAb sample.	Baseline to Week 52
Secondary	Percent Change in Fasting High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) From Baseline to Week 52	Percent Change in fasting HDL-C from Baseline to Week 52 was reported.	Baseline to Week 52
Secondary	Percent Change in Fasting Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL-C) From Baseline to Week 52	LDL-C levels were determined in beta-quantification with ultracentrifugation method. Percent change in fasting LDL-C from Baseline to Week 52 was reported.	Baseline to Week 52
Secondary	Concentration of Total Evinacumab in Serum	Concentration of total evinacumab in serum by time at Pre-dose and End of Infusion were analyzed and reported.	Pre-dose and End of Infusion (EOI) at Weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 36, 40, 44, and 48; Pre-dose at Weeks 28 and 52
Secondary	Concentration of Total Angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) in Serum	Concentration of total ANGPTL3 in serum by time were analyzed and reported.	Pre-dose and End of Infusion (EOI) at Weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 36, 40, 44, and 48; Pre-dose at Weeks 28 and 52
