◆ Πρωταρχική λιπιδαιµική παράµετρος η LDL-C και στόχος η ισχυρή ελάττωσή της
◆ Οι κατευθυντήριες οδηγίες συνιστούν ότι πρέπει να επιτευχθεί σηµαντική µείωση της LDL-C δια µέσου υγιεινοδιαιτητικών παρεµβάσεων και θεραπείας µε στατίνες.
◆ Μη συγκεκριµένα όρια-στόχοι για κάθε κατηγορία ασθενών.
◆ Συνιστούν τη χρήση κατάλληλης δυναµικότητας / δοσολογίας στατίνης για την επίτευξη της µείωσης της LDL-C
δηλ. χρήση υψηλής ισχύος στατίνης σε υψηλού κινδύνου ασθενείς (>50% µείωση της LDL-C) ή µέτριας ισχύος στατίνη για τους ασθενείς µέτριου κινδύνου (επιθυµητή µείωση >30 –50%)

JUPITER: effects of lowering LDL-cholesterol to below 50 mg/dL
• In the JUPITER study in apparently healthy individuals, the risk of major cardiovascular events was reduced by 65%, compared with placebo, in patients in whom LDL-cholesterol was lowered to below 50 mg/dL
– The corresponding risk reduction in patients with LDL-cholesterol >50 mg/dL was only 24% (P<0.0001 for trend)

†Both deaths in the alirocumab arm were due to CV events (cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death). Of the four deaths in the ezetimibe arm, two were due to CV events (malignant lung neoplasm, suicide, defect conduction intraventricular, sudden cardiac death and sudden death – one patient was counted in two categories) ‡Adjudicated CV events include all CV AEs positively adjudicated. The adjudication categories are the following: CHD death, non-fatal MI, fatal and non-fatal ischemic stroke, unstable angina requiring hospitalisation, congestive heart failure requiring hospitalisation, ischemia driven coronary revascularisation procedure [PCI, CABG].

†Accidental overdose is an event suspected by the Investigator or spontaneously notified by the patient (not based on systematic injection/capsule counts) and defined as at least twice the intended dose within the intended therapeutic interval (i.e., ≥2 injections from the double-blind treatment kit administered in <7 calendar days or ≥2 capsules from the double-blind treatment kit are administered within 1 calendar day). Statistical analyses have not been performed.
◆ In this population of high CV-risk patients who had poorly controlled LDL-C on maximally-tolerated statin therapy:
– LDL-C ↓ from baseline maintained with alirocumab: significantly greater ↓ vs. ezetimibe at W24, 51% vs 21% (P<0.0001)
– Self-administered alirocumab had good compliance and was well-tolerated
– This “treat-to-target” approach with alirocumab resulted in ~80% pts not requiring a dose ↑ to 150 mg at W12
– 77% of alirocumab pts achieved LDL-C <1.81 mmol/L (70 mg/dL) at W24
– Mean achieved LDL-C levels of 1.4 mmol/L (53.3 mg/dL) at W52 with alirocumab
– TEAEs similar between alirocumab and ezetimibe arms

* 1 alirocumab-treated patient diagnosed with Miller Fisher Syndrome at week 27 after typical prodromal gastroenteritis, he had a complete recovery following treatment discontinuation; at week 24 the patient had low LDL-C, reaching 1.5 mg/dL.† Confirmed by adjudication. Adjudicated CV events include all CV AEs positively adjudicated.

Safety Analysis (at least 52 weeks for all patients continuing treatment, including 607 patients overall who completed W78 visit)
Conclusions: ODYSSEY LONG TERM
54
◆ Consisted of 80% high CV risk patients and 20% of HeFH patients receiving max tolerated dose of statins (68% with previous CHD)
◆ 61% LDL C reduction vs. baseline (61.9% vs. placebo) starting from week 4 and maintained over time
◆ 80% of patients reached LDL-C<70mg/dL ◆ Reduction in LDL-C was seen across age, gender, body mass index (BMI),
race, baseline LDL-C levels, patients with HeFH and non-HeFH, and patients with mixed dyslipidemia, including diabetic patients
◆ TEAEs were generally comparable in both treatment arms and in 562 pts with confirmed low LDL-C (LDL-C < 25 mg/dL) vs. patients with LDL-C > 25 mg
◆ In a post-hoc analysis of a subgroup of adjudicated major adverse CV events, a lower rate of MACE was observed in the ALI arm compared to the PBO arm, HR=0.52 (95% CI 0.31 to 0.90, nominal P = 0.02))
