Long Term Safety Study of PRALUENT

May 20, 2021 updated by: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals

Long Term Safety Study of PRALUENT in Patients With Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia or With Non-Familial Hypercholesterolemia at High and Very High Cardiovascular Risk and Previously Enrolled in the Neurocognitive Function Trial

The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the long term safety of PRALUENT in participants with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) or non-familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) participants at high or very high cardiovascular risk who completed the neurocognitive function study R727-CL-1532 (NCT02957682).

The secondary objectives of the study were:

  • To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)
  • To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on other lipid parameters
  • To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on gonadal steroid hormones

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

38 years to 83 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Key Inclusion Criteria:

Participants randomized into the neurocognitive function study (R727-CL-1532) who completed treatment and the end of study (EOS) visit with no premature or permanent discontinuation of study drug.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Significant protocol deviation in the parent study (neurocognitive function study R727-CL-1532: NCT02957682) based on the investigator's or sponsor's judgment, such as noncompliance
  2. Any participant who experienced an AE leading to permanent discontinuation from the neurocognitive function study R727-CL-1532 (NCT02957682).
  3. Any new condition or worsening of an existing condition which, in the opinion of the investigator or per the PRALUENT local label, would make the participant unsuitable for enrollment or could interfere with the participant participating in or completing the open-label extension (OLE) study
  4. Known hypersensitivity to monoclonal antibody or any component of the drug product
  5. Pregnant or breastfeeding women

Note: Other inclusion/ exclusion criteria apply

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE) After First Administration of Study Drug Through the Last Dose of Study Drug Plus 2 Weeks
Time Frame: After first administration of study drug through the last dose of study drug plus 2 weeks, up to 80 weeks
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study drug which may or may not have a causal relationship with the study drug. AEs include serious adverse events (SAEs), AEs leading to treatment discontinuation, and adverse events of special interest (AESI). AESI include local injection site reactions, general allergic events, elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels greater than or equal to (≥) 3 upper limit normal (ULN) (if baseline is less than (<) ULN)/ALT ≥2 x ULN (if baseline ≥ ULN), neurologic events, neurocognitive events (according to Customized Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities [MedDRA] Query [CMQ] by Sponsor grouping and CMQ by FDA grouping), cataract, new onset diabetes (NOD), hepatic disorders, and diabetes mellitus (DM)/diabetic complications.
After first administration of study drug through the last dose of study drug plus 2 weeks, up to 80 weeks
