Evinacumab for Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2020
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia is characterized by premature cardiovascular disease caused by markedly elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. This disorder is associated with genetic variants that result in virtually absent (null-null) or impaired (non-null) LDL-receptor activity.

Evinacumab in Patients with Refractory Hypercholesterolemia

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2020
Patients with refractory hypercholesterolemia, who have high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels despite treatment with lipid-lowering therapies at maximum tolerated doses, have an increased risk of atherosclerosis. In such patients, the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous and intravenous evinacumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody ...

Evinacumab to treat hypercholesterolemia

Drugs of Today, 2021
Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death worldwide and is mainly due to atherosclerosis. Elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are the main risk factor for atherosclerosis. Treatment with existing therapies for dyslipidemia and life-style changes are often sufficient to reach the lipid targets and decrease the ...
