Background: PCSK9 Inhibition For LDL-C Reduction

PCSK9 inhibition has emerged as a new approach for treating hypercholesterolemia.

AMG 145 (Evolocumab), a fully human monoclonal antibody against PCSK9, reduced LDL-C by up to 65% and was well tolerated in 4 randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 2 clinical trials of 12 weeks duration in over 1300 hypercholesterolemic patients. 1-4

Longer-term efficacy and safety of PCSK9 inhibition have not been reported to date.

The OSLER Trial

To provide longer-term data, patients completing any of the 4 phase 2 trials could participate in the Open-label Study of Long-tERm Evaluation Against LDL-C (OSLER) trial of evolocumab 420 mg Q4W + SOC or SOC alone.

OSLER is a global, multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label extension trial.

We report the efficacy and safety results for 1104 hypercholesterolemic patients treated in OSLER for 1 year.

OSLER: Conclusions

The 1 year OSLER analysis evaluated evolocumab in a diverse patient population in the largest and longest study of an anti-PCSK9 antibody reported to date.

Findings over > 1000 patient-years suggest a highly effective, consistent, and well tolerated therapy.

Evolocumab reduced LDL-C by an average of 50% beyond that achieved with optimal SOC in various hypercholesterolemic patient populations.

AE profile was generally balanced.

No adverse laboratory signals were observed.

No major increase in AEs was observed in patients who reached low or very low LDL-C levels.
