Title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate Long-Term Tolerability and Durable Efficacy of AMG 145 (Evolocumab) on LDL-C in Hyperlipidemic Subjects
Brief Summary: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 52 weeks of subcutaneous (SC) evolocumab (AMG 145) compared with placebo when added to assigned background lipid-lowering therapy.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subject has provided informed consent.
* Fasting LDL-C ≥ 75 mg/dL and meeting the following LDL-C values on background lipid-lowering therapy:

  * \< 100 mg/dL for subjects with diagnosed coronary heart disease (CHD) or CHD risk equivalent
  * \< 130 mg/dL for subjects without diagnosed CHD or CHD risk equivalent
  * OR on maximal background lipid-lowering therapy defined as atorvastatin 80 mg PO QD and ezetimibe 10 mg PO QD
* Fasting triglycerides ≤ 400 mg/dL

Exclusion Criteria:

* New York Heart Association (NYHA) II-IV heart failure, or last known left ventricular ejection fraction \< 30%
* Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia
* Myocardial infarction, unstable angina, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or stroke within 3 months prior to randomization, type 1 diabetes, newly diagnosed or poorly controlled type 2 diabetes
* Uncontrolled hypertension
B: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with heFH\* who are not adequately controlled\*\* with a maximally-tolerated daily dose\*\*\* of statin with or without other LMT, at a stable dose prior to the screening visit (week -2).

   \*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 (Appendix 1) or the WHO/Dutch Lipid Network criteria with a score of \>8 points (Appendix 2).

   \*\* "Not adequately controlled" is defined as LDL-C ≥70 mg/dL (1.81 mmol/L) at the screening visit (week -2) in patients with a history of documented CVD (Appendix 3), or LDL-C ≥100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L) at the screening visit (week -2) in patients without a history of documented CVD.

   \*\*\* "Maximally-tolerated dose" is defined as (any of the following are acceptable):
   * Rosuvastatin 20 mg or 40 mg daily
   * Atorvastatin 40 mg or 80 mg daily
   * Simvastatin 80 mg daily (if already on this dose for \>1 year - see exclusion criterion #7)

   Note: Patients who are not able to be on any of the above statin doses should be treated with the dose of daily atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, or simvastatin which is considered appropriate for the patient, according to the investigator's judgment. Some examples of acceptable reasons for a patient taking a lower statin dose include, but are not limited to: adverse effects on higher doses, advanced age, low body mass index, regional practices, local prescribing information, concomitant medications, co-morbid conditions such as impaired glucose tolerance/impaired fasting glucose. The reason(s) will be documented in the case report form (CRF).
2. Provide signed informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patient without diagnosis of heFH made either by genotyping or by clinical criteria
2. LDL-C \<70 mg/dL (\<1.81 mmol/L) at the screening visit (week-2) in patients with history of documented cardiovascular disease
3. LDL-C \<100 mg/dL (\<2.59 mmol/L) at the screening visit (week -2) in patients without history of documented cardiovascular disease
4. Not on a stable dose of LMT (including statin) for at least 4 weeks and/or fenofibrate for at least 6 weeks, as applicable, prior to the screening visit (week -2) and from screening to randomization
5. Currently taking another statin than simvastatin, atorvastatin, or rosuvastatin
6. Simvastatin, atorvastatin, or rosuvastatin is not taken daily or not taken at a registered dose
7. Daily doses above atorvastatin 80 mg, rosuvastatin 40 mg, or simvastatin 40 mg (except for patients on simvastatin 80 mg for more than 1 year, who are eligible)
8. Use of fibrates, other than fenofibrate within 6 weeks of the screening visit (week-2) or between screening and randomization visits
9. Use of nutraceutical products or over-the-counter therapies that may affect lipids which have not been at a stable dose/amount for at least 4 weeks prior to the screening visit (week -2) or between screening and randomization visits
10. Use of red yeast rice products within 4 weeks of the screening visit (week-2), or between screening and randomization visits
11. Patient who has received plasmapheresis treatment within 2 months prior to the screening visit (week -2), or has plans to receive it during the study
12. Recent (within 3 months prior to the screening visit \[week -2\] or between screening and randomization visits) MI, unstable angina leading to hospitalization, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), carotid revascularization, endovascular procedure or surgical intervention for peripheral vascular disease

C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Treated with a statin.
* Fasting LDL-C \> 70 mg/dL and triglyceride \<=400 mg/dL.
* High or very high risk of incurring a cardiovascular event.
* Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Pregnant or breastfeeding females.
* Cardiovascular or cerebrovascular event of procedures during the past 30 days.
* Congestive heart failure NYHA class IV.
