Description
Inclusion Criteria (all of them must be present):
- high cardiovascular risk defined as patients with: Documented cardiovascular disease (CVD), clinical or unequivocal on imaging. Documented clinical CVD includes previous acute myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization and other arterial revascularization procedures, stroke and TIA, aortic aneurysm and PAD. Unequivocally documented CVD on imaging includes plaque on coronary angiography or carotid ultrasound; DM with target organ damage or with a major risk factor such as smoking or marked hypercholesterolaemia or marked hypertension.
- History of statin intolerance, demonstrated by both:
trial of ≥2 statins with intolerance of any dose or to increase statin dose above the total maximum doses because of intolerable: Myopathy or myalgia (muscle pain, ache, or weakness without CK elevation), or Myositis (muscle symptoms with increased CK levels), or Rhabdomyolysis (muscle symptoms with marked CK elevation) and Resolution or improvement of symptoms when the statin dose was decreased or discontinued
- patients with LDL-C ≥70 mg/dL
- end-stage renal disease on chronic hemodialysis
Exclusion Criteria:
- LDL-C <70 mg/dL
- NYHA class III-IV heart failure or last known LVEF <30%
- Uncontrolled serious cardiac arrhythmia, defined as recurrent and highly symptomatic VT, AF with rapid ventricular response, or SVT that are not controlled by medications, within 3 months prior to randomization Planned cardiac surgery or revascularization DM, including: Type 1 DMType 2 DM that is poorly controlled (HbA1c>8.5%) or newly diagnosed within 6 months before randomization; Laboratory evidence of DM during screening (fasting serum glucose ≥126 mg/dL [7.0 mmol/L] or HbA1c≥6.5%) without prior DM diagnosis
- Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as sitting SBP >160mmHg or DBP>100 mm Hg
- Use during the 6 months before LDL-C screening of red yeast rice, niacin >200 mg/d, prescription lipid-regulating drugs (eg, fibrates or derivatives) other than statins, ezetimibe, bile-acid sequestrants, stanols, or stanol esters
- Use during the 12 months before LDL-C screening of a CETP inhibitor such as anacetrapib, dalcetrapib, or evacetrapib
- Use during the 3 months before LDL-C screening of systemic cyclosporine, systemic steroids excluding HRT, vitamin A derivatives (excluding vitamin Ain a multivitamin), or retinol derivatives for the treatment of dermatologic conditions
- Laboratory values at screening TSH < LLN or >1.5 × ULN; CK >3 × ULN; AST or ALT >2 × ULN
- Known concurrent illness within 3 months
- Infection
- Major hematologic, renal, metabolic, GI, or endocrine dysfunction in the judgment of the investigator
- DVT or PE
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or inadequate birth control in premenopausal female subjects
- Previous treatment with evolocumab or any other anti-PCSK9 therapy
- Inability to provide informed consent or to attend follow-up visits
- Unreliability as a study participant based on judgment of investigator's knowledge of the subject (eg, alcohol or other drug abuse, inability or unwillingness to adhere to the protocol, psychosis)
- Current enrollment in another investigational device or drug study or <30 d since ending another investigational device or drug study

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Evolocumab + Ezetimibe
Patients in this arm will receive subcutaneous evolocumab 140 mg every two weeks plus ezetimibe 10 mg per os daily for 24 weeks
|
In the intervention arm evolocumab 140 mg subcutaneous every 2 weeks will be administered for 24 weeks to high cardiovascular risk haemodialized statin intolerant patients with hypercholesterolemia
Ezetimibe 10 mg daily will be administered for 24 weeks to high cardiovascular risk haemodialized statin intolerant patients with hypercholesterolemia in both the placebo arm (plus placebo) and in the intervention arm (plus evolocumab)
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo + Ezetimibe
Patients in this arm will receive subcutaneous placebo every two weeks plus ezetimibe 10 mg per os daily for 24 weeks
|
Ezetimibe 10 mg daily will be administered for 24 weeks to high cardiovascular risk haemodialized statin intolerant patients with hypercholesterolemia in both the placebo arm (plus placebo) and in the intervention arm (plus evolocumab)
In the placebo arm placebo subcutaneous every 2 weeks will be administered for 24 weeks to high cardiovascular risk haemodialized statin intolerant patients with hypercholesterolemia
