Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary endpoint of this trial is to determine whether the treatment with a new therapeutic strategy (Evolocumab + Ezetimibe) is non-inferior to Ezetimibe alone, in reducing the LDL-C percentage from baseline to week 24, considering an ITT approach, in high cardiovascular risk statin-intolerant patients with hypercholesterolemia and ESRD, receiving maintenance haemodialysis.;Secondary Objective: To assess whether the new treatment with Evolocumab+Ezetimibe is non-inferior to usual therapy with Ezetimibe alone in terms of LDL-C reduction, comparing baseline measures versus 4, 12, 24 weeks measures; To evaluate the changes of other lipid parameters (HDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides) from baseline to week 24 (ITT/on-treatment analysis); To evaluate the percentage of patients that reach the LDL-C < 70 mg/dL target at week 24 (ITT/on-treatment analysis); To evaluate the tolerability of Evolocumab, analyzing adverse events reports and laboratory values from the time of signed informed consent until the end of the study, and the hemodynamic stability during haemodialysis.;Primary end point(s): Observing in high cardiovascular risk statin-intolerant patients with hypercholesterolemia and ESRD, receiving maintenance haemodialysis, a LDL-C level reduction of at least 20 mg/dL;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The survey will take place at the 24th week | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - To observe a LDL-C reduction comparing baseline measures versus 4, 12, 24 weeks measures, considering the new treatment with Evolocumab+Ezetimibe versus Ezetimibe alone; - To describe the changes of other lipid parameters (HDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides) from baseline to week 24 (ITT/on-treatment analysis); - To observe the percentage of patients that reach the LDL-C < 70 mg/dL target at week 24 (ITT/on-treatment analysis). - To evaluate the tolerability of Evolocumab, analyzing adverse events reports and laboratory values from the time of signed informed consent until the end of the study, and the hemodynamic stability during haemodialysis.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The surveys will be carried out at 4,12 and 24 weeks | — |
