Regeneron Pharmaceuticals announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has extended the approval of Evkeeza as an adjunct to other lipid-lowering therapies to treat children aged 5 to 11 with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. Evkeeza is the first angiopoietin-like 3 inhibitor treatment indicated for children as young as 5 years old to control dangerously high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol caused by HoFH. Evkeeza was initially approved as an adjunct to other lipid-lowering therapies in those aged 12 years and older with HoFH in February 2021.
