Summary

The purpose of the study is to establish the efficacy, safety and tolerability of rosuvastatin in children and adolescents with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Prior to any study related procedures being performed, provision of written informed consent from a parent/both parents or guardian and statement of assent from the child or adolescent (if required by Institutional Review Board [IRB] or Independent Ethics Committee [EC] according to local regulations and guidelines). Communication between the Investigator, patient/guardian and child/adolescent to confirm understanding and required compliance with the requirements of the study.
  • Male and female children and adolescents (aged 6 to 500 mg/dL (12.9 mmol/L) and triglyceride (TG) 9.99 mmol/L (180 mg/dL) or glycosylated hemoglobin >9% at Visit 1 or patients with a history of diabetic ketoacidosis within the past year.
  • Uncontrolled hypothyroidism defined as thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) >1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) at Visit 1 or patients whose thyroid replacement therapy was initiated or modified within the last 3 months prior to Visit 2.
  • Current active liver disease or hepatic dysfunction (except a confirmed diagnosis of Gilbert's disease) as defined as elevations of 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) for any age in any of the following liver function tests at Visit 1: Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), or bilirubin.
