41 At its current list price of $14 523, the addition of evolocumab to standard background therapy in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease exceeds generally accepted costeffectiveness thresholds. To achieve an ICER of $ per QALY, the annual net price would need to be substantially lower ($9669 for US clinical practice and $6780 for trial participants), or a higher-risk population would need to be treated.
42 Potential Population Benefits with Optimal Implementation Adding a PCSK9 inhibitor to maximally tolerated statin therapy in patients with established ASCVD is estimated to be able to result in 316,300 fewer major adverse cardiovascular events over the next 5 years. Substantial population health improvements and further progress toward reduction in noncommunicable diseases could result. However, costs is a major concern. Targeting a subset of patients with ASCVD who are at particularly high risk for events based on clinical factors, formal risk scores, or use of a higher LDL cholesterol treatment initiation threshold for the addition of PCSK9 inhibitor therapy would be approaches to improve value and limit expenditures.
43 Inclisiran in Patients at High Cardiovascular Risk with Elevated LDL Cholesterol: ORION-1 Inclisiran, a chemically synthesized small interfering RNA designed to target PCSK9 messenger RNA, administered SQ every 3 or 6 months N Engl J Med 2017; 376:
44 Conclusions All patients with or at risk for cardiovascular disease should receive statin therapy, unless contraindicated LDL-C reduction is the primary goal of lipid therapy LDL-C levels can now be safely and effectively driven to historic lows with PCSK9 inhibitors Risk based treatment algorithms have a role but LDL-C targets and % LDL reduction should also return (LDL-C < 40 mg/dl is a reasonable secondary prevention goal) HDL-C raising is NOT a goal. Improving implementation and adherence to therapy is key to improving outcomes
