Authorised Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III) Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH)

A Phase 3 Study of Zodasiran in Adolescent and Adult Subjects With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (YOSEMITE)

EU CTIS ID: 2025-521792-31-01

What this study is testing

To demonstrate reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) with zodasiran compared with placebo in subjects with HoFH

  • Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III)

A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • 1. Age ≥12 years, non pregnant, non lactating, do not plan to become pregnant during the study
  • 2. Body weight ≥35 kg at Screening as patients could theoretically be <35 kg as the study continues.
  • 3. HoFH based on a supportive genetic test or a clinical diagnosis (total cholesterol >500 mg/dL[13 mmol/L] OR treated LDL-C concentration of ≥300 mg/dL [≥8 mmol/L] either accompanied by TGs <300 mg/dL [3.4 mmol/L] AND both parents with documented total cholesterol >250 mg/dL [6.5 mmol/L] OR cutaneous or tendinous xanthoma before 10 years of age)
  • 4. LDL-C ≥70 mg/dL (1.8 mmol/L). For adolescents 12 to <18 years of age LDL-C ≥116 mg/dL (3 mmol/L)
  • 5. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≤9.5%
  • 6. Total bilirubin <2xULN, unless in previously confirmed cases of Gilbert's syndrome

You likely can't join if

  • 1. Use of a hepatocyte-targeted siRNA within 365 days before Day 1 (except inclisiran, which is permitted; administration of inclisiran and study drug must be separated by at least 4 weeks)
  • 2. Use of an antisense oligonucleotide molecule within 3 months before Day 1 (exception: use of inclisiran is permitted; administration of inclisiran and study drug must be separated by at least 4 weeks)
  • 3. Use of evinacumab within 3 months before Day 1. Evinacumab use is prohibited during the study. In regions where evinacumab is available, the physician must justify and document in source documents and eCRF(s) why a patient is not receiving evinacumab therapy as part of standard of care (eg, safety, tolerability, reimbursement/cost, patient choice, etc.)
  • 4. Non-response to evinacumab, defined as LDL-C reduction <15% from baseline after 2 doses
  • 5. Use of any other investigational agent or device within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before Day 1
  • 6. Use of systemic corticosteroids (unless used as replacement therapy for pituitary/adrenal disease with a stable regimen)
