The landmark trial involved over 12,000 high-risk patients, with 85% on high-intensity or moderate LDL-C reducing therapy, followed for approximately 4.5 years. Repatha becomes the first and only PCSK9 inhibitor to show significant cardiovascular event reduction in both primary and secondary prevention.
This breakthrough follows Repatha's 2015 approval and successful use by over 6.7 million patients globally. The FDA recently expanded Repatha's approved use for adults at increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events due to uncontrolled LDL-C.
