3  HeFH is one of the most common genetic diseases (prevalence 1/200 to 1/500) characterised by: –extremely high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) 1 –premature atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) 1  A large proportion (~80%) of adult patients with heFH on lipid-lowering treatment do not reach the LDL-C goal of <2.5 mmol/L (100 mg/dL) 2  The treatment goal for adult patients with heFH who also have coronary heart disease or diabetes is <1.8 mmol/L (70 mg/dL) 1 Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (heFH) 3 1.Nordestgaard BG et al.

12  In heFH patients not well controlled on maximally- tolerated statin ± other lipid-lowering therapy: –Self-administered alirocumab produced significantly greater LDL-C ↓ vs. placebo at W24 (LS mean difference of 51.4-57.9%) –Majority of pts (>70%) achieved their LDL-C goals at W24 –Mean achieved LDL-C levels of 1.7-1.9 mmol/L (65.9-74.3 mg/dL) at W52 with alirocumab –~50% did not require a dose ↑ to alirocumab 150 mg Q2W –Safety and tolerability were generally comparable in alirocumab and placebo groups Conclusions 12
