BACKGROUND: Efficacy-safety of proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9
(PCSK9) inhibitors, alirocumab (ALI) and evolocumab (EVO), have previously been
evaluated through controlled clinical trials with selective patient groups.
Post-commercially, in 69 patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia
(HeFH) and/or cardiovascular disease (CVD) with suboptimal LDL cholesterol (LDLC)
lowering on maximal tolerated LDLC therapy, we assessed efficacy and safety of
ALI and EVO. METHODS: Post-commercially, we started 29 patients on ALI 75 mg, 18
on ALI 150 mg, and 22 on EVO 140 mg every 2 weeks added to a maximally tolerated
LDLC-lowering regimen. Since LDLC lowering did not differ between ALI 150 and EVO
140 mg, ALI 150-EVO 140 data were pooled (ALI-EVO). Changes in LDLC and AHA and
NIH calculated 10-year CVD risks were assessed. RESULTS: Of the 69 patients, 25
had HeFH, 25 CVD, and 19 had both. At entry, 23 (33%) took statins and 46 (67%)
were statin-intolerant. Mean ± SD and median follow-up were 49 ± 13 and 49 weeks
on ALI 75 mg, and 37 ± 12 and 33 weeks on ALI-EVO. In the ALI-EVO group (n = 40),
median LDLC fell from 165 mg/dl at entry to 70 mg/dl (median - 59%, p < .0001).
AHA 10-year calculated CVD risk fell from 10.2 to 5.5% (median - 28%, p < .0001),
and by the NIH calculator from 14.2 to 3.6% (median - 78%, p < .0001). In the ALI
75 mg group (n = 29), entry LDLC fell from 115 to 68 mg/dl (median - 39%,
p < .0001). AHA 10-year calculated CVD risk fell from 11.5 to 7.3% (median - 20%,
p = .004), and NIH 10-year risk from 12.9 to 5.1% (median 67%, p < .0001).
Absolute and percent change in LDLC was independent of statin use. There were
flu-like symptoms in 14% of patients. Adverse events did not differ (p > 0.05)
between ALI 75 mg and ALI-EVO. CONCLUSION: In patients with HeFH and/or CVD, LDLC
decreased from 115 to 68 mg/dl (39%) on ALI 75 mg with mean follow-up of
49 weeks, and from 165 to 70 mg/dl (59%) on ALI-EVO over 37 weeks, p < .0001 for
both. Adverse events were minimal and tolerable. ALI and EVO represent paradigm
shifts in LDLC lowering.
