Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Analyst Notes 

On April 9, 2014, Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Aegerion) announced that its patient enrollment has begun in Japan in a clinical trial of lomitapide as an adjunct treatment to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in Japanese patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). "This pivotal trial marks an important milestone for Aegerion and Japanese HoFH patients," said Mark Sumeray, MD, Chief Medical Officer. "Japan is a well-characterized region for patients with severe hypercholesterolemia and investigators there have shown a high level of enthusiasm for the trial, recognizing the unmet clinical need for their patients living with this serious disease." HoFH is a serious, rare genetic disease inherited from both parents that impairs the function of the receptor responsible for removing LDL-C ("bad" cholesterol) from the body. HoFH patients often develop premature and progressive atherosclerosis, a narrowing or blocking of the arteries.
