PrimaryPercent Change From Baseline in Fasting Triglycerides (TG) Level Following 12 Weeks of Repeated IV Doses of Evinacumab in Actual Cohort 3 Participants
Participants randomized to evinacumab: Week 0 corresponds to Baseline and 12 weeks treatment corresponds to Week 12 of the DBTP; Participants randomized to placebo: Week 12 corresponds to Baseline and 12 weeks treatment corresponds to Week 24 of the SBTP
For participants randomized to evinacumab treatment group, baseline (Week 0) TG was defined as the geometric mean of all available TG results at day -28, day -14 and week 0; for participants randomized to placebo treatment group, baseline (Week 12) TG was defined as the geometric mean of all available TG results at weeks 6, 8, and 12.

SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in Fasting TG Level Following 2 to 24 Weeks of Repeated IV Doses of Evinacumab in Actual Cohorts 1, 2, and 3Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24Percent change from baseline in fasting TG level following 2 to 24 weeks of repeated IV doses of evinacumab in actual cohorts 1, 2, and 3 participants were reported.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Total Score of Participants Reported Abdominal and Gastrointestinal (GI) Symptoms Using Hypertriglyceridemia and Acute Pancreatitis Symptom Scale (HAP-SS)Baseline, Week 12 (DBTP), Week 24 (SBTP)
HAP-SS: 19-item measure of symptoms with a 24-hour recall period. 4 pain items were captured on 0-10-point severity NRS, each scored 0 (No pain) to 10 (Worst possible pain), while 15 non-pain items captured on 5-point frequency Likert scale, each scored from 1 (None of the time) to 5 (All of the time). Pain domain 4 items: stomach pain average, worst stomach pain, worst back pain, stomach pain after eating (score range: 0 to 40). Abdominal symptoms domain 6 items: bloated, nausea, vomiting, passed excessive gas, diarrhea, light-colored or greasy stool (score range: 6 to 30). Physical symptoms domain 5 items: fever, insomnia, excessive sweating, dizziness, racing heart rate (score range 5 to 25). Other symptoms domain 4 items: fatigue, loss of appetite, hungry after eating, felt full after eating a small amount (score range 4 to 20). All items were transformed on to total score ranges from 0 (no symptoms) to 100 (severe symptoms). Negative change indicates better condition.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Total Score of Participants Reported Dietary Behavior Questionnaire (HAP-DB)Baseline, Week 12 (DBTP), Week 24 (SBTP)
Dietary habits and impact were measured by the Hypertriglyceridemia and Acute Pancreatitis Dietary Behavior (HAP-DB) questionnaire, a 6- item measure of dietary behavior that had a 24-hour recall period using a 5-point frequency Likert scale (1= None of the time to 5= All of the time) and a dietary impact total score, ranging from 6 (no impact) to 30 (severe impact). The six HAP-DB items were: 1 -amount of food eaten), 2 -fatty or greasy food), 3 -carbohydrates), i4 (-sugar or sugary foods), 5 -alcohol intake), 6 -skipped meal). The total score was calculated as the sum of the six item scores and then transformed to a 0-100 score, where lower score indicates less of an issue with dietary behaviors. Transformed score = 100 \* (score - minimum possible score) / (maximum - minimum possible score). Change from baseline in total score of participants reported daily dietary habits and impact questionnaire during DBTP and SBTP was reported.

DBTP: Change From Baseline in Degree of Pancreatic Injury/Inflammation Through 18F-2-Fluoro-2-Deoxy-D Glucose Positron Emission Tomography (18F-FDG-PET) Imaging Following 12 Weeks of Treatment With Evinacumab Assessed by 18F-FDG SUVmax and SUVmean
Participants randomized to evinacumab: Week 0 corresponds to Baseline and 12 weeks treatment corresponds to Week 12 of the DBTP; Participants randomized to placebo: Week 12 corresponds to Baseline and 12 weeks treatment corresponds to Week 24 of the SBTP
18F-FDG-PET is a molecular imaging modality that has demonstrated high sensitivity in the in vivo detection of glycolytic tissues, including tumors and inflammatory foci. 18F-FDG PET has been applied in a clinical setting to the assessment of inflammation for a variety of indications, including auto immune pancreatitis, atherosclerosis and infection. 18F-FDG-PET was performed at baseline (placebo run-in period) and following 12 weeks of study treatment (double-blind treatment period) as a method to measure inflammation in the pancreas. Here, SUVmax was standardized uptake values maximum and SUVmean was mean standardized uptake values were reported.
Secondary
DBTP: Change From Baseline in Degree of Pancreatic Injury/Inflammation Through Diffusion Weighted-Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DW-MRI) Following 12 Weeks of Treatment With Evinacumab Assessed by Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC)
Participants randomized to evinacumab: Week 0 corresponds to Baseline and 12 weeks treatment corresponds to Week 12 of the DBTP; Participants randomized to placebo: Week 12 corresponds to Baseline and 12 weeks treatment corresponds to Week 24 of the SBTP
In DW-MRI the random diffusion of water molecules occurring within intracellular, extracellular and intravascular spaces were measured, enabling detection of macroscopic soft tissue pathology such as edema, necrosis and fibrosis. The ADC was a principal metric quantified in DW-MRI experiments, where ADC values was mapped across a region of interest at a spatial resolution of \~3\*3\*5 cubic millimeter (mm\^3). Normal pancreas ADCs were considered as (1.77±0.32)\*103 square-millimeters per second (mm\^2/sec) while acute pancreatitis ADCs were (1.32±0.32)\* 103 mm\^2/sec showing a significant window for measuring projected inflammatory changes in pancreas. DW-MRI was performed at baseline (placebo run-in period) and following 12 weeks of study treatment (double-blind treatment period) as a method to measure inflammation in the pancreas. Change from baseline in degree of pancreatic injury/inflammation through DW-MRI following 12 weeks of treatment with evinacumab assessed by ADC was reported.
