THE ROLE OF STATIN THERAPY

Statins play a pivotal role in establishing the linear relationship between LDL-C and CV event risk1,2

Figure adapted from Raymond C, et al. Cleve Clin J Med. 2014;81:11-19.

Shows a scatterplot with best-fit line of major statin trials for secondary prevention of coronary heart disease events.

MORE CAN BE DONE

Statins alone may not be enough for recent myocardial infarction patients who remain at risk3

21% More than 1 in 5 post-MI patients had at least one additional MI, IS, UA, or PCI/CABG within 2 years.4

66% of patients in the United States with major ASCVD event(s) have elevated LDL-C ≥ 70 mg/dL.5


For very high-risk* patients who have suffered a recent myocardial infarction, updated ACC/AHA Guidelines recommend the addition of a PCSK9 inhibitor (like Repatha®) to further lower LDL-C and associated CV risk.3†

*Very high risk includes a history of multiple major ASCVD events or 1 major ASCVD event and multiple high-risk conditions.3

Class I: Add ezetimibe to maximal statin before adding PCSK9 inhibitor; Class IIa: If on clinically judged maximal LDL-C-lowering therapy and LDL-C ≥70 mg/dL, or non-HDL-C ≥100 mg/dL, adding a PCSK9 inhibitor is reasonable.3

Statins + Repatha®

The Repatha® CV Outcomes Study (FOURIER) was designed to evaluate CV risk reduction by dramatically lowering LDL-C6

FOURIER was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, event-driven trial in 27,564 adult patients with established cardiovascular disease and with LDL-C ≥70 mg/dL and/or non-HDL-C ≥100 mg/dL despite high- or moderate-intensity statin therapy. Patients were randomly assigned to receive Repatha® (140 mg every 2 weeks or 420 mg once monthly) or placebo. The median follow-up duration was 26 months.6


99%

of patients were receiving high- or moderate intensity statin therapy.7

≥40 to ≤85

year-old patients were enrolled.7

81%

of patients had already experienced ≥1 MI.7

92 mg/dL

was the median baseline LDL-C for enrolled patients.7

Patients were treated with other CV medications6:

  • Anti-platelet agents (93%)
  • Beta-blockers (76%)
  • ACE inhibitor (56%)
  • ARB (23%)

For patients with established CVD,

Repatha® added to a statin reduced the risk of CV events more than statins alone6,7

Key secondary endpoint: composite of time to first occurrence of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke6,7


Composite of Time to First Occurrence of Cardiovascular Death, MI or Stroke for MI less than 2 Years Sub Analysis

Composite of Time to First Occurrence of Cardiovascular Death, MI or Stroke for MI less than 2 Years Sub Analysis

Repatha® added to a statin reduced the risk of composite CV events by 20% in a median of 2.2 years, and the benefit improved over time.6

  • Primary composite endpoint of time to first occurrence of CV death, MI, hospitalization for unstable angina, stroke, or coronary revascularization: HR 0.85 (95% CI, 0.79-0.92; P<0.0001)6

MI

Revascularization

22% RRR6

  • Stroke=21% RRR6
  • Key secondary composite endpoint of time to CV death, MI, or stroke: HR 0.80 (95% CI, 0.73-0.88; P<0.0001). ARR=2.0%6,7
  • Relative risk reductions for the primary and secondary composite endpoints were driven by a reduction in the risk of MI: HR 0.73 (95% CI, 0.65-0.82), stroke: HR 0.79 (95% CI, 0.66-0.95), and coronary revascularization: HR 0.78 (95% CI, 0.71-0.86)6,*

*Not statistically significant.

Observed HR for CV death: 1.05 (95% Cl, 0.88-1.25) and hospitalizations due to unstable angina: 0.99 (95% Cl, 0.82-1.18)6

Repatha® added to a statin provided an ARR of 2.9% in patients with an MI less than 2 years.8

When compared to the overall study population, a greater ARR was observed in patients with a qualifying MI <2 years8

ARR in the Composite of Cardiovascular Death, MI or Stroke

ARR in the Composite of Cardiovascular Death, MI or Stroke

ARR of 2.0% in the overall Repatha® CV Outcomes Trial study population was evaluated at 36 months6,7

  • Repatha® reduced the risk of CV death, MI, or stroke by 24% in patients with a qualifying MI <2 years ago8
  • Analysis of 81% (n=22,351) of patients in Repatha® CV Outcomes Trial with MI as their qualifying event; median time from MI to enrollment in Repatha® CV Outcomes Trial was 3.3 years7
  • The observed HR for CV death was 1.05 (95% CI, 0.88-1.25) from the primary analysis6

For your high-risk CVD patients,

Repatha® added to a statin reduces risk of MI by dramatically reducing LDL-C6

Lipids are one of the most modifiable CV risk factors.9

Repatha® added to a statin reduced composite CV event rates regardless of baseline LDL-C.10

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Contraindication: Repatha® is contraindicated in patients with a history of a serious hypersensitivity reaction to evolocumab or any of the excipients in Repatha®. Serious hypersensitivity reactions including angioedema have occurred in patients treated with Repatha®.

Hypersensitivity Reactions: Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema, have been reported in patients treated with Repatha®. If signs or symptoms of serious hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue treatment with Repatha®, treat according to the standard of care, and monitor until signs and symptoms resolve.

Adverse Reactions in Primary Hyperlipidemia: The most common adverse reactions (>5% of patients treated with Repatha® and more frequently than placebo) were: nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection, influenza, back pain, and injection site reactions.

From a pool of the 52-week trial and seven 12-week trials: Local injection site reactions occurred in 3.2% and 3.0% of Repatha®-treated and placebo-treated patients, respectively. The most common injection site reactions were erythema, pain, and bruising. Hypersensitivity reactions occurred in 5.1% and 4.7% of Repatha®-treated and placebo-treated patients, respectively. The most common hypersensitivity reactions were rash (1.0% versus 0.5% for Repatha® and placebo, respectively), eczema (0.4% versus 0.2%), erythema (0.4% versus 0.2%), and urticaria (0.4% versus 0.1%).

Adverse Reactions in the Cardiovascular Outcomes Trial: The most common adverse reactions (>5% of patients treated with Repatha® and more frequently than placebo) were: diabetes mellitus (8.8% Repatha®, 8.2% placebo), nasopharyngitis (7.8% Repatha®, 7.4% placebo), and upper respiratory tract infection (5.1% Repatha®, 4.8% placebo).

Among the 16,676 patients without diabetes mellitus at baseline, the incidence of new-onset diabetes mellitus during the trial was 8.1% in patients treated with Repatha® compared with 7.7% in patients that received placebo.

Immunogenicity: Repatha® is a human monoclonal antibody. As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity with Repatha®.
