PEARL: A Non-interventional Study of Real-World Alirocumab Use in German Clinical Practice

Drugs - Real World Outcomes, 2019
Background Several lipid guidelines recommend that proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors should be considered for patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease who are inadequately treated with maximally tolerated lipid-lowering

Impact of CYP2C19 Genotype Variants on PCSK9 Inhibitor Efficacy in Lipid‐Lowering Among Patients With Symptomatic Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis

Lipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ischemic stroke is frequently associated with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS), is a leading cause of global disability and mortality. Current guidelines recommend dual antiplatelet and intensive statin therapies. Proprotein convertase subtilisin 9/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors have emerged as a potent lipid‐lowering

High levels of serum cholesterol increase the risk of developing vessel co‐opting tumors in colorectal cancer liver metastases

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
High serum cholesterol is linked to colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM) subtypes with poor survival (replacement pattern). Levels of cholesterol under 4 mmol·L−1 correlated with better survival and a desmoplastic pattern subtype. Furthermore, in vivo PCSK9 inhibitor evolocumab, which lowers cholesterol, reduced liver metastases.

The High Price of Interrupted Follow‐Up: Catastrophic Progression of Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia—A Case Report and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is the most common monogenic lipid disorder, primarily resulting from mutations in LDLR, APOB, and PCSK9 genes. These mutations cause persistently high levels of low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C), predisposing affected individuals to premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD ...

Efficacy and safety of alirocumab in patients with hypercholesterolemia not adequately controlled with non-statin lipid-lowering therapy or the lowest strength of statin: ODYSSEY NIPPON study design and rationale

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2017
Background Statins are generally well-tolerated and serious side effects are infrequent, but some patients experience adverse events and reduce their statin dose or discontinue treatment altogether. Alirocumab is a highly specific, fully human monoclonal

Optimization of 4‐Amino‐2‐Pyridone Inhibitors of Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9: Integrating Structure–Activity and Structure–Metabolism Relationships

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 1, January 2026.
Green chemistry‐based late‐stage functionalization (LSF) of the anti‐proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) early lead compound 5c led to optimized analogs with improved metabolic stability/PCSK9 IC50 ratio. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a key drug target for the treatment of different hypercholesterolemia ...
