The Rogosin Institute Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia Repository

This repository will establish for the first time a system to carefully assess and monitor over time the general health and the amount of cholesterol in the arteries of U.S. children and adults with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (hoFH). Patients with this very rare disorder have very high blood levels of cholesterol from birth due to the inheritance of an abnormal gene from each parent. As a result, if untreated, heart attacks and sudden death occur in childhood. Treatments such as LDL-apheresis and liver transplant will lower the cholesterol level, but the best treatment and the best way to monitor the effect of the treatment on the arteries are unknown. The collection of clinical data and blood for analysis of known and yet-to-be discovered markers and predictors of arterial disease will yield new information about the natural history of the disorder and response to treatment. The repository will greatly aid the development of specific protocols that seek to learn more about this disease and new therapies.

A Phase 3 Study of Zodasiran in Adolescent and Adult Subjects With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (YOSEMITE)

This multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of zodasiran subcutaneous (SC) injection in subjects 12 years of age and older with genetically or clinically diagnosed Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). After completion of the double blind (DB) treatment period subjects will be eligible to continue in the optional open-label extension (OLE) period of the study. All placebo subjects who opt to continue will transition to active drug during the OLE Period.

Study of Zodasiran in Adolescent Participants With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of zodasiran subcutaneous (sc) injection in participants 12 to \<18 years of age with genetically or clinically diagnosed homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ≥116 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) on maximally tolerated lipid-lowering therapy.

HoFH, the International Clinical Collaborators Registry

Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH), a rare inherited disorder caused by bi-allelic mutations in the LDL Receptor pathway, is characterized by extremely elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from birth and premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Our current knowledge about HoFH is disjointed and largely stems from relatively small case series and expert opinion. HICC (Homozygous FH International Clinical Collaborators) is a global consortium of clinicians who are contributing de-identified data of patients diagnosed with HoFH with the goal to advance our understanding of this rare disease.

Study of ARO-ANG3 in Participants With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HOFH)

Participants with documented homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) who have provided informed consent will receive 2 open-label doses of ARO-ANG3 and be evaluated for safety and efficacy parameters through 36 weeks. Participants who complete the first 36 week treatment period may opt to continue in an additional 24-month extension period during which they will receive up to 8 doses open-label doses of ARO-ANG3.

Evaluate the Long-term Efficacy and Safety of SHR-1918 in Patients With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

A multicenter, single arm, open label phase II clinical study evaluating the long-term efficacy and safety of SHR-1918 in homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia patients

NGGT006 Gene Therapy for Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

This is an early phase 1, open-label, single-center, dose-escalation, pilot trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an intravenous infusion of NGGT006 in homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) patients with LDLR mutations. NGGT006 is an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector carrying codon-optimized human LDLR gene, driving the expression of LDLR protein with normal function and promoting the clearance of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).

LOWER: Lomitapide Observational Worldwide Evaluation Registry

This global product exposure registry is a multicentre, long-term, prospective, observational cohort study (exposure registry), designed to evaluate the long term safety and effectiveness of lomitapide.
