摘要
The 2 or 4aEuroweek subcutaneous therapy with the recently approved antibodies alirocumab and evolocumab for inhibition of proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) reduces low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in addition to statins and ezetimibe by 50-60 %. The therapy is well-tolerated. The safety profile in the published studies is comparable to placebo. Outcome data and information on long-term safety and the influence on cardiovascular events are not yet available but the results of several large trials are expected in 2016-2018. At present (spring 2016) PCSK9 inhibitors represent an option for selected patients with a high cardiovascular risk and high LDL-C despite treatment with the maximum tolerated oral lipid-lowering therapy. This group includes selected patients with familial hypercholesterolemia and high-risk individuals with statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS).
