Heterozygous Familial
Hypercholesterolaemia (heFH)

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 atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease
(CVD)1

A large proportion (~80%) of adult patients with heFH on
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

†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.

Conclusions

In heFH patients not well controlled on maximallytolerated 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
