Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The primary goal is to assess the impact of Evolocumab therapy on platelet function of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) patients in a randomized, double blind study. Evolocumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets circulating PCSK9, increases hepatic LDL receptor, decreases plasma LDL cholesterol and reduces risk of cardiovascular events. Evolocumab (brand name Rapatha) has been approved by FDA along with diet and maximally tolerated statin therapy in adults with FH or atherosclerotic heart or blood vessel problems, who need additional lowering of LDL cholesterol. The secondary goal is to determine if platelet activation or the response to Evolocumab therapy is modified by rs3184504 polymorphism. The investigators believe that these investigations will complement ongoing studies to demonstrate that Evolocumab reduces athero-thrombotic risk and aid the decision-making as to whether Evolocumab can reduce the atherothrombotic risk in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.
