Background: PCSK9 Inhibition For LDL-C Reduction • PCSK9 inhibition has emerged as a new approach for treating hypercholesterolemia. • AMG 145 (Evolocumab), a fully human monoclonal antibody against PCSK9, reduced LDL-C by up to 65% and was well tolerated in 4 randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 2 clinical trials of 12 weeks duration in over 1300 hypercholesterolemic patients. 1-4 • Longer-term efficacy and safety of PCSK9 inhibition have not been reported to date. • Koren MJ, et al. Lancet. 2012;380:1995-2006 • Raal FJ, et al. Circulation. 2012;126:2408-2417 • Sullivan D, et al. JAMA. 2012;308:2497-2506 • Giugliano RP, et al. Lancet. 2012;380:2007-2017 PCSK9, Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9
The OSLER Trial • To provide longer-term data, patients completing any of the 4 phase 2 trials could participate in the Open-label Study of Long-tERm Evaluation Against LDL-C (OSLER) trial of evolocumab 420 mg Q4W + SOC or SOC alone. • OSLER is a global, multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label extension trial. • We report the efficacy and safety results for 1104 hypercholesterolemic patients treated in OSLER for 1 year. Q4W, every 4 weeks; SOC, standard of care

Patients in the SOC group had in-person visits at week 4, then every 3 months, with telephone visits every 4 weeks.

OSLER: Conclusions • The 1 year OSLER analysis evaluated evolocumab in a diverse patient population in the largest and longest study of an anti-PCSK9 antibody reported to date. • Findings over > 1000 patient-years suggest a highly effective, consistent, and well tolerated therapy. • Evolocumab reduced LDL-C by an average of 50% beyond that achieved with optimal SOC in various hypercholesterolemic patient populations. • AE profile was generally balanced. • No adverse laboratory signals were observed. • No major increase in AEs was observed in patients who reached low or very low LDL-C levels.
