  • To assess the additional benefit of evinacumab for the treatment of children and adolescents aged 5 to < 12 years with homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia, in whom dietary and pharmacological options for lowering lipids have been exhausted, the pharmaceutical manufacturer cites the single-arm study R1500-CL-17100.
  • Due to the lack of a comparator, the single-arm study R1500-CL-17100 is not suitable for drawing conclusions regarding the additional benefit of evinacumab compared with the appropriate comparator therapy.
