Results showed mean reduction in LDL-C for the Q2W visits of 63%, 41.3%, and 1.9% for evolocumab 140mg, 70mg, and placebo, respectively (each P <.001 vs 140mg Q2W), while reductions of 62.7%, 55.5 ...

Evolocumab's efficacy was studied in four phase III double-blind, randomized, placebo or active control (ezetimibe) trials spanning 12 weeks. The trials involved more than 3,100 patients, and ...

Patients who were given evolocumab shortly after ACS had rapid and significant LDL reductions in 24 hours, researchers found in the EVACS trial.“The implications for clinical practice are ...

66–75% reduction with evolocumab injections every 2 weeks or 63–75% on a 4-week schedule Patients achieved an LDL cholesterol level of <70mg/dL in 86–94% in the moderate-intensity statin ...

At present, evolocumab (Repatha, Amgen) and alirocumab (Praluent, Sanofi/Regeneron), both of which were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration this summer, cost $14,100 and $14,600 ...

Evolocumab is one of three PCSK9 inhibitors being studied in large clinical trials. One out of three American adults is estimated to have high LDL cholesterol, according to the Centers for Disease ...

If evolocumab was discounted 29% to $10,311, the ICER is $165,689 per QALY gained, which is still above the threshold considered cost-effective. To achieve an ICER of $150,000, $100,000, and $50,000 ...

In a second vote, the advisory committee dealt with the use of evolocumab in patients with homozygous FH and unanimously felt the benefits of lowering LDL cholesterol with the PCSK9 inhibitor ...
