- You are aged 12 or older (note: in Italy and France, you must be 18 or older).
- You have been diagnosed with a condition called Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) — a serious inherited condition causing very high cholesterol — either through genetic testing or clinical assessment.
- For the intensified treatment group: you started a specific cholesterol-lowering medication called Evinacumab within the last 24 months, added on top of other cholesterol-lowering medicines you had been taking at a stable dose for at least 30 days beforehand.
- For the standard treatment group: you are taking standard cholesterol-lowering medicines (such as statins, ezetimibe, and/or PCSK9 inhibitors) at a stable dose, and have had the required heart scan (CCTA) with a follow-up scan planned 18–24 months later.
- You have had a specific type of heart imaging scan (called a CCTA) done around the time your treatment started, and a follow-up scan is available or planned 18–24 months later.
- Your LDL ("bad") cholesterol is still 140 mg/dL (3.5 mmol/L) or higher, even while taking cholesterol-lowering treatment.
Who may not be able to join:
- You have taken part in another clinical trial using an experimental drug within the last 6 months.
- Your past medical records are not available or detailed enough for the study team to use.
- You are unwilling or unable to give your consent to take part.
- You have previously had bypass heart surgery on multiple blood vessels (having had single-vessel bypass surgery does not exclude you).
- You have moderate to severe kidney disease, kidney failure, or are receiving ongoing kidney replacement treatment (such as dialysis) or have had a kidney transplant.
- You were pregnant at the time your cholesterol-lowering treatment was given.
- For the intensified group only: you are taking Evinacumab in a way that is not in line with its approved use (confirm with trial site).
