From physiopathology to treatment of familial hypercholesterolemia: Existing and emerging pharmacotherapies. (PubMed, Pharmacol Rev) - "This includes established drugs such as proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors, inclisiran, lomitapide, and bempedoic acid. Emerging therapies include evinacumab, lerodalcibep, antisense oligonucleotide-based drugs, certain cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors like obicetrapib, AZD8233, gemcabene, diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase-2 inhibitors, acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase-2 inhibitors, vupanorsen, volanesorsen, olezarsen, pelacarsen (TQJ230), olpasiran (AMG890), zerlasiran (SLN360), lepodisiran (LY3819469), and muvalaplin...Recent pharmacological advancements provide significant opportunities for successful low-density lipoprotein cholesterol management and control of FH. Although some of these agents are already used, several highly effective compounds are in development, heralding a promising future for FH treatment."

Monotherapy with PCSK9 inhibitors has limited efficacy in HoFH patients, highlighting the need for combination therapies."

The evolving landscape of targets for lipid lowering: from molecular mechanisms to translational implications. (PubMed, Eur Heart J) - "Bempedoic acid inhibits ATP citrate lyase, the enzyme upstream of HMG-CoA reductase in the mevalonate pathway, offering an alternative to statins by selectively acting in the liver, minimizing muscle-related side effects. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors [evolocumab, alirocumab, inclisiran, lerodalcibep, and enlicitide decanoate (MK0616)] prevent LDLR degradation, while ezetimibe limits intestinal cholesterol absorption...Ongoing research into strategies to reduce Lp(a), primarily but not exclusively through antisense therapies, aims to demonstrate the cardiovascular benefits of targeting this lipoprotein. In summary, the field of targets for lipid and lipoprotein lowering is constantly evolving and offers new strategies for patients resistant to current therapies or with specific lipid profile abnormalities."

The greatest benefits are observed in patients with AMI, particularly in multivessel disease. Despite high adherence, broader utilization is hindered by persistent challenges, including costs and complex authorization processes."

Lerodalcibep and evolocumab for the treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia with PCSK9 inhibition (LIBerate-HoFH): a phase 3, randomised, open-label, crossover, non-inferiority trial. (PubMed, Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol) - P3 | "The LDL cholesterol response was highly variable, but generally similar in patients treated with both lerodalcibep and evolocumab. Importantly, the study showed the inability to predict response based on genotyping, reinforcing the rationale for PCSK9 inhibition in all patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and continuing its use in responders."

LIB Therapeutics Announces Publication of Phase 3 Study of Lerodalcibep in Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) in Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology (Businesswire) - P3 | N=65 | NCT04034485 | Sponsor: LIB Therapeutics LLC | "Mean LDL-C reduction when averaged across all monthly visits was –9.1% with lerodalcibep and –10.8% with evolocumab. % LDL-C reduction at Week 12 was -12% with lerodalcibep and -11.5% with evolocumab, and at Week 24 (ITT analysis) was -4.9% with lerodalcibep and -10.3% with evolocumab. LDL-C responses were highly variable between patients, but the percent change from baseline for LDL-C over 24 weeks was similar in individual patients for both drugs... Importantly, genotyping and free PCSK9 suppression were not predictive of response. Both drugs were well tolerated, with no treatment-related serious adverse events. Injection site reactions were reported in one (2%) of 65 patients on lerodalcibep and 15 (24%) of 62 patients on evolocumab."

(PubMed, Expert Opin Biol Ther) - "In addition to the currently available monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and small interfering RNA (siRNA), new mAbs and the adenectin lerodalcibep are promising therapies. The antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) and siRNA inhibitors of apoC3 and ANGPTL3 are effective in severe hypertriglyceridemia and homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, respectively, and may prove to have wider applications. ASO and siRNA inhibitors of Lp(a) are currently in cardiovascular outcome studies."

Lerodalcibep 300 mg QM administered for up to 2 years in a large cohort of over 700 HeFH patients, significantly, persistently and consistently reduced LDL-C and other atherogenic lipids with no attenuation and good tolerability and safety. Over 70% of HeFH subjects were able to achieve currently recommended LDL-C targets."

Long-term Efficacy of Lerodalcibep in 1,468 Patients at Very High and High Risk for CVD in the 72 week Open-Label Extension Trial (AHA 2024) - " Mean age (range) was 63.9 (25 to 89) years, 37% female, 79% white, 18% black/multiracial, with 85.5% on statins, 18% on ezetimibe and 67% with CVD and 33% at very high or high risk for CVD. Lerodalcibep significantly and persistently reduced LDL-C with no attenuation in subjects with, or at very high or high risk for, CVD on maximally tolerated statin and other oral agents for >2 years with good adherence to self-dosing, tolerability and no new safety concerns identified. Lerodalcibep enabled nearly 90% of patients to achieve the new globally harmonized more stringent LDL-C goals."
