Primary Study Overview

Further Cardiovascular Outcomes Research with PCSK9 Inhibition in Subjects With Elevated Risk

Repatha® added to a statin was studied in established CVD patients who were at risk for CV events1

Explore the FOURIER study, a large CV outcomes trial that helped to inform the latest AHA/ACC Guideline1,2

Study Design

27,564 patients

with established CVD and LDL-C ≥70 mg/dL and/or non-HDL-C ≥100 mg/dL despite high- or moderate-intensity statin therapy1

FOURIER was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, event-driven trial1

Patients received either subcutaneous injections of Repatha® (140 mg every 2 weeks or 420 mg once monthly) or placebo1

Patients on stable background lipid-lowering therapy had a median baseline LDL-C of 92 mg/dL1

Patient Characteristics

Patients were aged ≥40 to ≤85 years

with prior MI, stroke, or symptomatic PAD3,*

92 mg/dL LDL-C

median baseline for enrolled patients1

81%

of patients had previously experienced ≥1 M11

99%

of patients were receiving high- or moderate-intensity statin therapy1

70%

of patients in the Repatha® arm were on high-intensity statins3

*Symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (history of claudication with ABI <0.85 or previous revascularization or amputation).2

LDL-C Reductions

Count on Repatha® for your patients
who need more to achieve ACC/AHA guideline-recommended LDL-C <70 mg/dL1,2

Adding Repatha® to a statin can dramatically lower LDL-C in just 4 weeks3

Repatha® + statin lowered LDL-C by an average of

63%

in 12 weeks1

of patients achieved LDL-C ≤70 mg/dL at 48 weeks3

ADD REPATHA® NOW TO PROVIDE SUSTAINED LDL-C REDUCTION1

CV Outcomes

For patients with established CVD

REPATHA® ADDED TO A STATIN REDUCED THE RISK OF CV EVENTS MORE THAN STATINS ALONE1

Repatha® added to a statin was proven to reduce the risk of composite CV events by 20% in a median of only 2.2 years, and the benefit improved over time1,3

Key secondary composite endpoint of time to first occurence of CV death, MI, or stroke

HR 0.80 (95% CI, 0.73-0.88; P < 0.0001) ARR = 2.0% 1,3

Recent MI

FOURIER subanalysis: recent MI

HELP PREVENT ANOTHER MI: PATIENTS WITHIN 1 YEAR OF THEIR MOST RECENT MI HAVE A HIGHER CV RISK4-6

In a FOURIER subanalysis, statin + Repatha® provided greater ARR for patients who suffered an MI within 1 year compared to patients with a more distant MI4

RECENT MI

Key secondary composite endpoint of time to first occurrence of CV death, MI, or stroke4 HR 0.75 (95% CI, 0.62-0.91) (n = 5,711)

For recent MI patients ARR = 3.2%4

For distant Ml patients ARR = 1.3%4

  • ARR of 2.0% in the overall Repatha® CV Outcomes Trial study population was evaluated at 36 months3
  • Analysis of 81% (N = 22,320) of patients in Repatha® CV Outcomes Trial with a prior MI4
  • 5.711 patients who experienced an MI within 1 to 12 months of randomization were compared to 16,609 patients with a more distant MI (more than 12 months prior to randomization)4

Observed HR for CV death: 1.05 (95% CI, 0.88-1.25) from the primary analysis1

Prior PCI

FOURIER post-hoc subanalysis: patients with prior PCI

REPATHA® ADDED TO A STATIN REDUCED MAJOR CV EVENTS* IN PATIENTS WITH A PRIOR PCI8

Repatha® + a statin provided a greater ARR in ASCVD patients with prior PCI compared to those without PCI8,9

Prior PCI | ARR = 2.8%9

No Prior PCI | ARR = 0.3%9

  • ARR of 2.0% in the overall Repatha® CV Outcomes Trial study population was demonstrated at 36 months 3
  • Analysis of 62% (N = 17,073) of patients with prior PCI in Repatha® CV Outcomes Trial9
  • Comparison of 17,073 patients with prior PCI versus 10.455 patients without prior PCI in the Repatha® and placebo arms of the Repatha® CV Outcomes Trial8
  • Observed HR for CV death in the primary analysis: 1.05 (95% CI, 0.88-1.25)'
  • Post hoc analyses are exploratory and no statistical conclusions can be drawn

* Major CV events were the composite of coronary death, MI, or coronary revascularization.9

Guideline LDL-C Levels

AHA/ACC- & ESC/EAS-RECOMMENDED LDL-C LEVELS WERE ACHIEVED FOR MOST
PATIENTS2,4,7

Achievement of guideline-recommended LDL-C levels at 4 weeks in patients with recent MI (≤12 months)4

LDL-C ≤40 mg/dL

2019 ESC/EAS Guideline for patients experiencing second event within 2 years7

LDL-C ≤55 mg/dL

2019 ESC/EAS Guideline and 2022 ACC Consensus Pathway7

LDL-C ≤70 mg/dL

INDICATIONSRepatha® is indicated:
  • In adults with established cardiovascular disease to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and coronary revascularization

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®.
