Hypercholesterolaemic patients on statin therapy

What did we want to learn from Phase 2? Will higher doses be more effective? Will higher doses produce longer lasting effect? Will LDL-C effect be maintained if added to maximal dose atorvastatin? Will initial results seen in small group of HeFH from one center be maintained in larger and more diverse HeFH population with additional LDLr defects? Will patients with history of muscle related side effects on statins tolerate and respond to PCSK9 mab? Will PCSK9 mab be effective in Homozygous FH? Will PCSK9 mab reduce Lp(a) Will PCSK9 mab at higher doses, larger patient populations, longer administration and when added to maximal dose statin still be safe and well tolerated?

TESLA: Conclusions This study demonstrated, for the first time, that significant LDLc lowering is achievable with a PCSK9 monoclonal antibody in HoFH patients with defective LDLr activity. AMG 145, even at a dose of 420 mg Q2W, was well tolerated and was not associated with any notable side effects or increased hepatic transaminases. Based on the results of this proof-of-concept trial, a larger, double-blind, randomized and placebo-controlled trial of evolocumab in HoFH has commenced and is fully recruited.

What have we learnt from Phase 2? Will higher doses be more effective? No Will higher doses produce longer lasting effect? The higher the dose the longer the effect Will LDL-C effect be maintained if added to maximal dose atorvastatin? Yes but appears to maximum to LDLr upregulation Will initial results seen in small group of HeFH from one center be maintained in larger and more diverse HeFH population with additional LDLr defects? Yes Will patients with history of muscle related side effects on statins tolerate and respond to PCSK9 mab? Yes Will PCSK9 mab be effective in Homozygous FH? Yes - in LDL receptor defective patients Will PCSK9 mab reduce Lp(a) Will PCSK9 mab at higher doses, longer administration and when added to maximal dose statin still be safe and well tolerated?

What have we learnt from Phase 2? Will higher doses be more effective? No Will higher doses produce longer lasting effect? The higher the dose the longer the effect Will LDL-C effect be maintained if added to maximal dose atorvastatin? Yes but appears to maximum to LDLr upregulation Will initial results seen in small group of HeFH from one center be maintained in larger and more diverse HeFH population with additional LDLr defects? Yes Will patients with history of muscle related side effects on statins tolerate and respond to PCSK9 mab? Yes Will PCSK9 mab be effective in Homozygous FH? Yes - in LDL receptor defective patients Will PCSK9 mab reduce Lp(a) Yes Will PCSK9 mab at higher doses, longer administration and when added to maximal dose statin still be safe and well tolerated? Over 1200 patients have received mab to PCSK9, and safety continues to be encouraging.

mabs Targeted to PCSK9 in Development: Conclusion Inhibition of PCSK9 with fully human mabs is a very promising, and potentially the most effective, approach to reducing LDL-C including patients: With nonfh, HeFH and LDLr defective HoFH On statins or diet alone and Those unable to tolerate statins, or effective doses of statins. Additive to all existing therapy SC delivery every 2 or 4 weeks In large phase 2 program of 2 agents of over 1200 patients no significant adverse effects have emerged so far Phase 3 programs including 2 large CVD outcome trials are already underway with the Amgen (evolocumab) and Sanofi (alirocumab) fully human monoclonal antibodies
