Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (heFH) NordestgaardBG et al. Eur Heart J. 2013;34:3478–90 PijlmanAH et al. Atherosclerosis. 2010;209(1):189-194. • HeFH is one of the most common genetic diseases (prevalence 1/200 to 1/500) characterised by: • extremely high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)1 • premature atherosclerosisand cardiovascular disease (CVD)1 • A large proportion (~80%) of adult patients with heFHon lipid-lowering treatment do not reach the LDL-C goal of <2.5 mmol/L (100 mg/dL)2 • The treatment goal for adult patients with heFH who also have coronary heart disease or diabetes is<1.8 mmol/L (70 mg/dL)1

Baseline Characteristics †Diagnosis of heFH must be made either by genotyping or by clinical criteria. For those patients not genotyped, the clinical diagnosis may be based on either the Simon Broome criteria for definite FH or the WHO/Dutch Lipid Network criteria with a score of >8 points. ‡In FH I, one patient was categorised as “probable” FH by clinical criteria – genotyping results for this patient are pending.
Lipid Medication and LDL-C at Baseline †Patients should receive either rosuvastatin 20-40 mg, atorvastatin 40-80 mg daily, or simvastatin 80 mg daily unless not tolerated and/or appropriate other dose given according to the judgement of the investigator. ‡High-intensity statin: atorvastatin 40-80 mg or rosuvastatin 20-40 mg daily.

Safety Analysis (Pooled Data from FH I and FH II)All Data Collected Until Last Patient Visit at Week 52 • 4 TEAE-related deaths were all in alirocumab arm, 2 due to metastatic cancer (non-small cell lung and pancreatic), 2 due to MI (1 acute, 1 sudden cardiac death) †Adjudicated CV events include all CV AEs positively adjudicated. The adjudication categories are the following: CHD death, non-fatal MI, fatal and non-fatal ischaemic stroke, unstable angina requiring hospitalisation, congestive heart failure requiring hospitalisation, ischaemia-driven revascularisation procedure (PCI, CABG). Statistical analyses have not been performed.

Conclusions • In heFHpatients not well controlled on maximally-tolerated statin ± other lipid-lowering therapy: • Self-administered alirocumab produced significantly greater LDL-C ↓ vs. placebo at W24 (LS mean difference of 51.4-57.9%) • Majority of pts (>70%) achieved their LDL-C goals at W24 • Mean achieved LDL-C levels of 1.7-1.9 mmol/L (65.9-74.3 mg/dL) at W52 with alirocumab • ~50% did not require a dose ↑ to alirocumab 150 mg Q2W • Safety and tolerability were generally comparable in alirocumab and placebo groups
