Indications
Repatha® is indicated:
  • In adults with established cardiovascular disease to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and coronary revascularization
  • As an adjunct to diet, alone or in combination with other low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)-lowering therapies, in adults with primary hyperlipidemia, including heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) to reduce LDL-C

REPATHA® SAFETY PROFILE

Across more than 26,000 patients, Repatha® demonstrated a consistent safety profile1

The Repatha® CV Outcomes Study demonstrated the long-term safety of Repatha® added to a statin over a median 2.2 years.2

  • Hemorrhagic stroke: 0.21% statin + Repatha® (n=13,784), 0.18% statin + placebo (n=13,780)

*Median LDL-C achieved at 48 weeks.

†The total numbers of patients were 8,337 in the Repatha® group and 8,339 in the placebo + statin group because patients with prevalent diabetes at the start of the trial were excluded.

Repatha® demonstrated long-term safety over a 5-year treatment period5

  • AE rates remained consistent over the treatment course5
  • Discontinuation rate due to AEs: 1.4%/year5
  • Reported AE rates from open-label extension of primary hyperlipidemia trials through 5 years were generally consistent with AE rates from FOURIER and other phase 3 trials3,5

Lowering LDL-C with Repatha® did not impair cognitive function3


EBBINGHAUS studied 1,974 patients from the Repatha® CV Outcomes Trial3


  • Patients were assessed using neuropsychological function tests over a median follow-up of 19 months3
  • Study concluded noninferiority in select cognitive function domains was observed between Repatha® and placebo when added to statin3

INDICATIONSRepatha® is indicated:
  • In adults with established cardiovascular disease to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and coronary revascularization
  • As an adjunct to diet, alone or in combination with other low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)-lowering therapies, in adults with primary hyperlipidemia, including heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) to reduce LDL-C
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®.
