摘要

In 2015 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first two proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors, alirocumab (Praluent (R); Sanofi/Regeneron) and evolocumab (Repatha (R); Amgen), for use in patients with heterozygous and homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and for patients intolerant of statins or those with a major risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) but unable to lower their LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) to optimal levels with statins and ezetimibe. Numerous randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that these inhibitors cause a fall in LDL-C levels of 50-60% as well as causing a decline in lipoprotein(a) and an increase in HDL cholesterol. They are effective in reducing levels of LDL-C to 1.8 mmol/L or less in almost all patients in the groups listed above except for those with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. In the latter case, many patients will still have LDL-C levels well above optimal levels despite the use of statins and a PCSK9 inhibitor. To date these inhibitors have not caused major adverse effects. However, the results of ongoing long-term randomized clinical trials are needed to determine whether they cause a significant reduction in CVD events including deaths from CVD. These studies will also demonstrate whether the PCSK9 inhibitors have any unexpected adverse effects and/or effects resulting from the loss of PCSK9 functions at other sites in the body, in particular regarding neurocognition. A further major concern is the high cost of PCSK9 inhibitors and their effect on healthcare costs and health insurance premiums.
