EVKEEZA is a clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to pale yellow solution available as follows:

EVKEEZA is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity reaction to evinacumab-dgnb or to any of the excipients in EVKEEZA. Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have occurred

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:

Evinacumab-dgnb is an angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) inhibitor monoclonal antibody (IgG4 isotype) produced by recombinant DNA technology in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell suspension culture. Evinacumab-dgnb has an approximate molecular weight of 146 kDa.

EVKEEZA (evinacumab-dgnb) injection is a sterile, preservative-free solution for intravenous use. The solution is clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to pale-yellow, and free from visible particles.

Each vial contains 345 mg/2.3 mL or 1,200 mg/8 mL. Each mL contains 150 mg of evinacumab-dgnb, and L-arginine hydrochloride (14.8 mg), L-histidine (0.74 mg), L-histidine monohydrochloride monohydrate (1.1 mg), L-proline (30 mg), polysorbate 80 (1 mg) and Water for Injection, USP. The pH is 6.

Adult and Pediatric Patients Aged 12 Years and Older with HoFH

Trial ELIPSE-HoFH (NCT03399786; Trial 1) was a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial that evaluated the efficacy of EVKEEZA compared to placebo in 65 patients with HoFH (63 adult patients and 2 pediatric patients). During the 24-week, double-blind treatment period, patients were randomized to receive EVKEEZA 15 mg/kg given intravenously every 4 weeks (n=43) or placebo given intravenously every 4 weeks (n=22). After the double-blind treatment period, 64 of 65 patients entered a 24-week open-label extension period in which all patients received EVKEEZA 15 mg/kg given intravenously every 4 weeks.

Patients were on a background of other lipid-lowering therapies, including maximally tolerated statins, ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitor antibodies, lomitapide, and lipoprotein apheresis. Enrollment was stratified by apheresis status and geographical region. The diagnosis of HoFH was determined by genetic testing or by the presence of the following clinical criteria: history of an untreated total cholesterol (TC) >500 mg/dL and either xanthoma before 10 years of age or evidence of TC >250 mg/dL in both parents.

Baseline Disease and Demographic Characteristics

In this trial, 40% (26 of 65) patients had limited LDL receptor (LDLR) function, defined by either <15% receptor function by

The mean LDL-C at baseline was 255 mg/dL (in patients with limited LDLR function, the mean LDL-C at baseline was 307 mg/dL). At baseline, 94% of patients were on statins, 75% on ezetimibe, 77% on a PCSK9 inhibitor antibody, 22% on lomitapide, and 34% were receiving lipoprotein apheresis. The mean age at baseline was 42 years (range 12 to 75) with 12% ≥65 years old; 54% females; 3% Hispanic; 74% White, 15% Asian, 3% Black or African American, and 8% other races or race was not reported.

Endpoint Results

The primary efficacy endpoint was percent change in LDL-C from baseline to Week 24. At Week 24, the least squares (LS) mean treatment difference between the EVKEEZA and placebo groups in mean percent change in LDL-C from baseline was −49% (95% confidence interval: −65% to −33%; p <0.0001). After 24 weeks of open-label EVKEEZA treatment (Week 24 to Week 48), the observed LDL-C reduction from baseline was similar in patients who crossed over from placebo to EVKEEZA and was maintained in patients who remained on EVKEEZA for 48 weeks. For efficacy results see

At Week 24, the observed reduction in LDL-C with EVKEEZA was similar across predefined subgroups, including age, sex, limited LDLR activity, concomitant treatment with lipoprotein apheresis, and concomitant background lipid-lowering medications (statins, ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitor antibodies, and lomitapide).

The LS mean LDL-C percent changes over time are presented in Figure 1.

Pediatric Patients (aged 12 to 17 years) with HoFH

In an open-label trial (Trial 2), 13 pediatric patients with HoFH (aged 12 to 17 years) received 15 mg/kg of EVKEEZA given intravenously every 4 weeks as an adjunct to other lipid-lowering therapies (e.g., statins, ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitor antibodies and lipoprotein apheresis) for a median treatment duration of 33 weeks. The mean percent change from baseline in LDL-C at Week 24 was −52% in the 9 patients who completed treatment and had a lipid assessment at Week 24. Overall, the effect of EVKEEZA on lipid parameters in pediatric patients aged 12 to 17 years with HoFH was generally similar to that seen in adults with HoFH.

Pediatric Patients (aged 5 to 11 years) with HoFH

Trial R1500-CL-17100 (NCT04233918; Trial 3) was a multicenter, three-part, single-arm, open-label trial in pediatric patients aged 5 to 11 years with HoFH

Baseline Disease and Demographic Characteristics

In Part B, the mean LDL-C at baseline was 264 mg/dL.

At baseline, 86% of patients were on statins, 93% on ezetimibe, 14% on lomitapide, and 50% were receiving lipoprotein apheresis.

The mean age at baseline was 9 years (range 5 to 11); 57% females; 0% Hispanic; 57% White, 14% Asian, 7% Black or African American, 7% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 14% other races. Mean body weight was 40 kg. Body mass index (BMI) was 20 kg/m

Endpoint Results

The primary efficacy endpoint was percent change in calculated LDL-C from baseline to Week 24. At Week 24, the mean percent change in calculated LDL-C from baseline was −48% (95% confidence interval: −69% to −28%). For efficacy results see

At Week 24, the reduction in LDL-C with EVKEEZA was similar across baseline characteristics, including age, sex, limited LDLR activity, concomitant treatment with lipoprotein apheresis, and concomitant background lipid-lowering medications (statins, ezetimibe, and lomitapide).

Pediatric Patients (aged 1 to less than 5 years) with HoFH

Clinical data were collected through an expanded access program that required each patient's treating physician to provide adequate documentation to demonstrate that the patient met the eligibility criteria for the program and to provide effectiveness information, including LDL-C values. The efficacy of EVKEEZA was evaluated in 6 patients aged 1 to less than 5 years with HoFH. Four females and two males were enrolled in the program. At baseline, 83% of patients were on statins, 83% on ezetimibe, 17% on PCSK9 inhibitors, and 17% were receiving plasmapheresis. The mean LDL-C at baseline was 499 mg/dL (range 238 to 872 mg/dL), the mean age was 3.2 years (range 1.1 to 4.4 years), and the mean weight was 14.5 kg (range 8 to 17 kg). Patients received 15 mg/kg EVKEEZA every 4 weeks for up to 98 weeks. Administration of EVKEEZA resulted in a reduction of LDL-C [mean (standard deviation) change at Week 40 of -60% (16.8)].

EVKEEZA (evinacumab-dgnb) injection is a clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to pale yellow solution. It is supplied as one single-dose vial per carton.
