  2. PCSK9 Regulates the Surface Expression of LDLRs by Targeting LDLRs for Lysosomal Degradation LDL receptor AMG 145, a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds PCSK9, was well tolerated and lowered LDL in phase Ia and Ib studies (Dias CS, JACC published online Oct 17, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jacc.2012.08.986) Qian YW, et al.

  13. Safety *Both events were reported as non-serious by the investigators. †All 50 were reported as non-serious by the investigator and none led to discontinuation of drug ** All were asymptomatic ‡Acute coronary syndrome, coronary revascularization, TIA, congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization, or death

  14. Summary & Conclusion • In patients with hypercholesterolemia on a stable regimen of statin ± ezetimibe, SC AMG 145 for 12 weeks: • Reduced LDL-C (ultracentrifugation) by up to 66% at the end of the dosing interval compared to placebo • Reduced calculated LDL-C by up to 85% 1 week post dose • Reduced total and non-HDL cholesterol, apo B, TC/HDL, Apo B/A1 • Well-tolerated with no dose-related increase in adverse events PCSK9 inhibition with AMG 145 offersa new paradigm for LDL-C reduction that warrants testing in a large, phase III cardiovascular outcomes trial
