Atherosclerotic CVD is a major cause of hospitalisation and mortality in Europe

• Each year, over 22.5 million in-patients with diseases of the circulatory system are discharged from hospitals across Europe1

Hospital discharge rates for in-patients with CVD, per 100,000 population2

Standardised death rate for CVD per 100,000 population3

Epidemiology shows that higher LDL-C levels are associated with greater CV morbidity and mortality

In epidemiological studies, including the Framingham Heart Study1 and MRFIT2, high levels of cholesterol or LDL-C resulted in more CV events

Figure 3: Alirocumab inhibits PCSK9, increases LDLR, and decreases LDL-C

Alirocumab bound to PCSK9 (represented here by mAb, monoclonal antibody) prevents the association 

between PCSK9 and the LDLR. The LDLR binds the LDL particle and is internalized. The LDL particle is 

degraded in the lysosome, but the LDLR is recycled back to the plasma membrane. SREBP, sterol 

regulatory element binding protein. ASO, antisense oligonucleotides and siRNA, small interfering RNAs 

are alternate mechanisms for targeting PCSK9 at the transcriptional level. 

(Adapted from Lambert G, et al.3)

PCSK9 and LDLR pharmacology:

Transcription of PCSK9 and LDLR genes share a common regulatory mechanism mediated by

sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2). SREBP2 interacts with another

membrane protein, SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP), which functions as a sterol

sensor. Intracellular sterols inhibit LDLR and PCSK9 gene transcription by suppressing the

processing and release of SREBP2. In the presence of sterols, inactive SREBP2 remains bound

to the endoplasmic reticulum after synthesis.4

In the sterol-depleted state, SCAP escorts the SREBP2 to the Golgi where it is proteolytically

cleaved, which releases the mature SREBP2 capable of transcriptional activation. Mature

SREBP2 enters the nucleus and binds to the sterol regulatory element 1 (SRE-1) site of LDLR and PCSK9 promoters, leading to increased transcription and translation of both proteins.

Background

Patients with HeFH were on stable background treatment (statins, ezetimibe, etc.) and had undergone consistent lipoprotein apheresis QW for ≥4 weeks or Q2W for

≥8 weeks (14 study sites in US & Germany)

• Untreated heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) is associated with severely elevated LDL-C levels and a high risk for premature CHD1

• Despite LDL-C-lowering therapy, many patients with FH do not reach their target LDL-C levels2

• Apheresis = Greek for ‘taking away’; lipoprotein apheresis is removal of LDL-C3,4

• This trial was designed to clarify whether adding alirocumab could reduce or eliminate apheresis therapy

Apheresis only performed if LDL-C <30% lower than baseline LDL-C (pre-apheresis LDL-C

during regular apheresis)

• UPDATE OPERATIVO: valutare presenza di SI utilizzando: 1. sintomi 2. livelli di CK 3. Drug re-challenge (≥2 statine)

Alirocumab personalizzazione della terapia

La dose può essere personalizzata in base alle caratteristiche del paziente,

quali il livello basale di LDL-C, l’obiettivo della terapia e la risposta.

PRALUENT 75 mg è

la dose iniziale per i pazienti che

necessitano di riduzioni di LDL-C

< 60% per raggiungere il target

PRALUENT 150 mg è

la dose iniziale per i pazienti che

necessitano di riduzioni di LDL-C

> 60% per raggiungere il target

Alirocumab Final clinical considerations

Sarah L. Greig Am J Cardiovasc Drugs: DOI 10.1007/s40256-016-0166-3

• Fully human monoclonal antibody against PCSK9

• Administered as a subcutaneous injection of 75 or 150 mg once every 2

weeks

• Significantly reduces LDL-C levels in patients with heFH or nonFH

(including those with statin intolerance), whether used as monotherapy

or added to statin or non-statin LLT

• Has favorable effects on other lipid parameters,including non-HDL-C

and Lp(a)

• Efficacy maintained in the longer-term

• Generally well tolerated
