id="Evinacumab.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Evinacumab is a human monoclonal antibody to angiopoietin-like protein 3 which is approved for use in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. Evinacumab is given intravenously every 4 weeks and is generally well tolerated, and has not been associated with serum aminotransferase elevations during therapy or with instances of clinically apparent liver injury.</p></div><div id="Evinacumab.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Evinacumab (e” vin ak’ ue mab) is a human monoclonal IgG4 antibody directed against angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) which is a protein expressed largely in the liver that inhibits lipoprotein lipase and endothelial lipase activity, two endogenous lipases which break down lipids in serum. Inhibition of ANGPTL3 by evinacumab causes preservation of full activity of both lipases resulting in a decrease in serum cholesterol and triglycerides levels. In preregistration randomized, placebo controlled trials, evinacumab resulted in a 45% to 55% decrease in total and LDL-cholesterol in patients with severe homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia who were already receiving maximum tolerated amounts of lipid lowering agents. Therapy also decreased serum triglyceride levels to a similar extent. Evinacumab was approved for use as an adjunct to cholesterol lowering therapy of familial hypercholesterolemia in adults and children 12 years of age or older the United States in 2021. It continues to be evaluated as therapy for hypertriglyceridemia and for refractory forms (both familial and non-familial) of hypercholesterolemia. Evinacumab is available in single use vials of 345 mg in 2.3 mL or 1200 mg in 8 mL (both 150mg/mL) under the brand name Evkeeza. The recommended dose is 15 mg/kg given intravenously over 60 minutes every 4 weeks. It can be administered with other lipid lowering oral agents including statins, ezetimibe, niacin and anti-PCSK9 monoclonal antibodies. Common side effects of evinacumab include mild local injection reactions, rhinorrhea, nasopharyngitis, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and pain in the extremities. Rare instances of severe hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis was been reported.</p></div><div id="Evinacumab.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>In preregistration randomized controlled studies, mild serum aminotransferase elevations arose a small percentage of treated patients but were generally asymptomatic and transient and did not require discontinuation or modification of dose. In addition, there were no reported instances clinically apparent liver injury or severe hepatic adverse events attributed to the therapy. Since approval and more general use of evinacumab there have been no reports of clinically significant liver injury attributed to its use, but the number of patients treated has been limited.</p><p>Likelihood score: E (unlikely cause of clinically apparent acute liver injury).</p></div><div id="Evinacumab.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>Possible mechanisms of liver injury due to evinacumab are not apparent. Monoclonal antibodies and immunoglobulins are generally taken up and metabolized intracellularly to short peptides and amino acids.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/MonoclonalAntibodies/?report=reader">Monoclonal Antibodies</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Lipid-LoweringAgents/?report=reader">Antilipemic Agents</a></p></div></div><div id="Evinacumab.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Evinacumab_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
