The purpose of this post-marketing survey is to obtain real-world information on the safety and effectiveness of evolocumab in Japan.
The objectives of study are to 1) determine the incidence of adverse events and adverse drug reactions among patients receiving evolocumab for up to 2 years, and 2) identify and describe patient characteristics (e.g. demographics, medical history) associated with the safety and effectiveness of evolocumab therapy for the patients with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (Heterozygous or Homozygous) and Hypercholesterolemia in Japan
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
6,000
No intervention; observation of routine medical care
Incidence of adverse events and adverse drug reactions
The incidence of adverse events and drug reactions will be described using the same units (events per 1000 person-years). Adverse events (including seriousness and causal relations to drug or device), inclusive of reaction at local injection sites, and other safety information (e.g. overdose, lack of effectiveness, pregnancy and lactation with or without adverse event) will be described.
