Trial Outcomes & Findings for Lipid Management in Renal Transplant Recipients Using Evolocumab. (NCT NCT04608474)

NCT ID: NCT04608474

Last Updated: 2026-04-16

Results Overview

The primary efficacy measure is the percent change in LDL cholesterol from baseline to 12 months. The 12-month LDL value is defined as the measurement closest to 12 months within a prespecified window of Months 11 to 13 following treatment initiation. LDL cholesterol is measured in mg/dL.

Baseline Characteristics

Seventy subjects received at least one dose of study treatment and comprise the analysis population. Baseline laboratory data were missing for four subjects; as a result, the number analyzed for baseline laboratory measures is 66.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 12 months (Month 0 to Month 12; assessment window Months 11-13)

Population: Participants with both baseline LDL measurements and at least one LDL measurement within Months 11 to 13.

The primary efficacy measure is the percent change in LDL cholesterol from baseline to 12 months. The 12-month LDL value is defined as the measurement closest to 12 months within a prespecified window of Months 11 to 13 following treatment initiation. LDL cholesterol is measured in mg/dL.
