Arms and Interventions

Arm

Intervention/treatment

Experimental: ALN-PCSSC; 300 milligrams (mg) administered subcutaneous (SC) on Day 1. Participants with a mean serum proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) levels not suppressed by >70% at Day 60 or Day 90, as compared to baseline, will receive a second dose at Day 90 or Day 104, respectively, based on PCSK9 levels from the previous visit. Participants also received standard of care as background therapy.

Drug: ALN-PCSSC; ALN-PCSSC is a small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) that inhibits PCSK9 synthesis and is given as SC injections.; Other Name: PCSK9 synthesis inhibitor; Drug: Standard of Care; Included maximally-tolerated statin therapy and/or other low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C)-lowering therapies.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Percentage Change From Day 1 to Day 90 in LDL-C [ Time Frame: Day 1, Day 90 ]
2. Percentage Change From Day 1 to Day 180 (or Final Visit) in LDL-C [ Time Frame: Day 1, Day 180 (or Final Visit) ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Absolute Change From Day 1 to Day 90 and to Day 180 (or Final Visit) in LDL-C [ Time Frame: Day 1, Day 90, Day 180 (or Final Visit) ]
2. Percentage Change From Day 1 to Day 60 and to Day 90 in PCSK9 [ Time Frame: Day 1, Day 60, Day 90 ]
3. Absolute Change From Day 1 to Day 60 and to Day 90 in PCSK9 [ Time Frame: Day 1, Day 60, Day 90 ]
4. Percentage Change From Day 1 to Day 90 and to Day 180 (or Final Visit) in Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDLC, non-HDL-C, VLDL-C, Apo-A1 Apo-B and Lp(a) [ Time Frame: Day 1, Day 90, Day 180 (or Final Visit) ]
5. Absolute Change From Day 1 to Day 90 and to Day 180 (or Final Visit) in Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDLC, non-HDL-C, VLDL-C, Apo-A1 Apo-B and Lp(a) [ Time Frame: Day 1, Day 90, Day 180 (or Final Visit) ]

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: 12 Years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)
• Sexes Eligible for Study: All
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Males and females, ≥12 years of age with a diagnosis of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia by genetic confirmation or a clinical diagnosis based on a history of an untreated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration >500 mg/deciliter (dL) [13 millimoles/liter (mmol/L)] together with either xanthoma before 10 years of age or evidence of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia in both parents.
• Stable on a low-fat diet.
• Stable on pre-existing, lipid-lowering therapies (such as statins, cholesterolabsorption inhibitors, bile-acid sequestrants, or combinations thereof) for at least 4 weeks with no planned medication or dose change for the duration of study participation.
• Fasting central lab LDL-C concentration >130 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/L) and triglyceride concentration <400 mg/dL (4.5 mmol/L).
• Body weight of 40 kilograms (kg) or greater at screening.

Exclusion Criteria:

• LDL or plasma apheresis within 8 weeks prior to the screening visit, and no plan to receive it during the study because of the attendant difficulty in maintaining stable concentrations of LDL-C while receiving apheresis.
• Use of mipomersen or lomitapide therapy within 5 months of screening.
• Previous treatment with monoclonal antibodies directed towards PCSK9 within 8 weeks of screening.
