Study summary

This repository will establish for the first time a system to carefully assess and monitor over time the general health and the amount of cholesterol in the arteries of U.S. children and adults with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (hoFH). Patients with this very rare disorder have very high blood levels of cholesterol from birth due to the inheritance of an abnormal gene from each parent. As a result, if untreated, heart attacks and sudden death occur in childhood. Treatments such as LDL-apheresis and liver transplant will lower the cholesterol level, but the best treatment and the best way to monitor the effect of the treatment on the arteries are unknown. The collection of clinical data and blood for analysis of known and yet-to-be discovered markers and predictors of arterial disease will yield new information about the natural history of the disorder and response to treatment. The repository will greatly aid the development of specific protocols that seek to learn more about this disease and new therapies.

Read the detailed description

Detailed information of "standard of care" procedures will be compiled in a database. These include medical history and physical exam, lipid profiles and other standard blood tests, dietary evaluation and counseling, cardiology evaluation including EKG and echocardiogram,ultrasound of carotids and femoral arteries, CT angiogram and, if indicated, intracoronary angiography (ICA) with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and stress echo or nuclear stress testing.

The recommendation for treatment will be individualized. Current options are a) FDA approved cholesterol-lowering medications: statins, ezetimibe b) LDL-apheresis c) liver transplant d) portacaval shunt e) investigational drugs. Treatment of vascular and/or valvular disease may include aspirin, beta blockers, clopidogrel, angioplasty with metal stent, coronary artery bypass surgery, aortic valve repair/replacement.

Research procedures will include medical photos of skin xanthomas, blood assays (apolipoproteins A and B, LDL particle size, homocysteine, TNF, IL-6, insulin, glucose, ICAM, VCAM, P and E selectin, and endothelial progenitor cells), and DNA analysis of the genes for the LDL receptor and other lipid-related genes.

Study population

Males and females of any age with severely elevated LDL cholesterol levels without secondary causes and a family history consistent with an autosomal dominant disorder.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

1. Patients of any age and sex who meet clinical or genetic criteria for hoFH as follows:

  • Documented, untreated fasting LDL cholesterol level of > 500 mg/dL and triglycerides \< 200 mg/dL on a cholesterol-lowering diet for at least 8 weeks with secondary causes excluded, AND:

    • DNA confirmation of a double mutation of the LDL receptor or apoB gene OR
    • LDL > 160 mg/dL in both biological parents not associated with a disorder know to elevate LDL OR
    • Coronary artery disease in one or both parents or grandparents \< 55 years for males, \< 65 for females OR
    • Tendinous/cutaneous xanthomas \< age 10 or coronary artery disease \< age 20

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria:

1. Inability of patient, or, if less than 18, a parent, to sign .

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 6, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
