Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria:
4.1.1 Participated in a qualifying AMG 145 parent protocol and have a diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia. Subjects must not have experienced an IP treatment related serious adverse event that led to IP discontinuation during their participation in the qualifying AMG 145 parent study, or

Subjects that have not participated in a qualifying AMG 145 parent protocol must also meet all of the following inclusion criteria:

4.1.2 Are male or female = 12 to = 80 years of age
4.1.3 Have a diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia
4.1.4 Are on a stable low-fat diet and taking pre-existing lipid-lowering therapies (such as statins, cholesterol-absorption inhibitors, bile-acid sequestrants or nicotinic acid, or combinations thereof) for at least 4 weeks, with fasting central lab LDL cholesterol concentration and meet the following LDL-C values based on risk factor status (NCEP ATPIII risk categories Grundy et al, 2004):
• = 100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L) for subjects with diagnosed CHD or CHD risk equivalent (includes clinical manifestations of noncoronary forms of atherosclerotic disease [peripheral arterial disease, abdominal
aortic aneurysm, and carotid artery disease], diabetes, and 2+ risk factors with 10-year risk for hard CHD >20%). Risk factors include cigarette smoking, hypertension (BP = 140/90 mm Hg or on antihypertensive medication), low HDL cholesterol (< 40 mg/dL), family history of premature CHD (CHD in male first-degree relative < 55 years of age; CHD in female first-degree relative < 65 years of age), and age (men = 45 years; women = 55 years) or
• = 130 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/L) for subjects without diagnosed CHD or CHD risk equivalent or
• There is No LDL-C entry requirement for apheresis subjects - because their LDL-C values fluctuate and may not be representative of their overall LDL-C burden.
4.1.5 Fasting triglycerides = 400 mg/dL (4.5 mmol/L) by central laboratory at screening
4.1.6 Bodyweight must be 40 kg or greater at screening for subjects less than 18 years of age

• Menopause is defined as 12 months of spontaneous and continuous amenorrhea in a female = 55 years old or 12 months of spontaneous and continuous amenorrhea with a follicle-stimulating hormone level > 40 IU/L (or according to the definition of "postmenopausal range" for the laboratory involved) in a female < 55 years old unless the subject has undergone bilateral oophorectomy
• Acceptable methods of preventing pregnancy include sexual abstinence, surgical contraceptive methods (vasectomy or bilateral tubal ligation), use of hormonal birth control methods (pills, shots, implants or patches), intrauterine devices (IUDs), or two (2) barrier methods (each partner must use one barrier method) with spermicide – males must use a condom with spermicide; females must choose either a Diaphragm with
spermicide, OR or Cervical cap with spermicide, OR
Contraceptive sponge with spermicide.
4.2.2 Subject is pregnant or breast feeding, or planning to become pregnant or breastfeed during treatment with AMG 145 and for an additional 15 weeks after the end of treatment with AMG 145 (IP)
4.2.3 Unreliability as a study participant based on the investigator's (or designee’s) knowledge of the subject (eg, inability or unwillingness to adhere to the protocol)
4.2.4 Experienced a treatment related serious adverse event that led to IP discontinuation in the AMG 145 parent protocol
4.2.5 Disorder that would interfere with understanding and giving informed consent or compliance with protocol requirements
4.2.6 Have an unstable medical condition, in the judgment of the investigator.
4.2.7 Currently enrolled in another investigational device or drug study, or less than 30 days since ending another investigational device or drug study(s), or receiving other investigational agent(s).

In addition, all subjects that undergo screening procedures will be ineligible for the study if they fulfill any of the following criteria:

4.2.8 Use of Mipomersen or Lomitapide within 5 months of screening
4.2.9 Subject has taken a cholesterylester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor in the last 12 months prior to LDL-C screening, such as: anacetrapib, dalcetrapib or evacetrapib
4.2.10 NYHA III or IV heart failure, or last known left ventricular ejection fraction < 30%
4.2.11 Uncontrolled serious cardiac arrhythmia defined as recurrent and highly symptomatic ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular
response, or supraventricular tachycardia that are not controlled by medications, in the past 3 months prior to screening
4.2.12 Uncontrolled hypertension defined as sitting systolic blood pressure (SBP) > 180 mmHg or diastolic BP (DBP) > 110 mmHg, confirmed with repeat measurement
4.2.13 Subject requires uptitration of their current statin dose within 4 weeks of screening (these subjects can be uptitrated and rescreened one month later)
4.2.14 Moderate to severe renal dysfunction, defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 ml/min/1.73m2 at screening
