Estimating the potential impact of LDL-C lowering through SIRNA therapies on population health: A simulation study
Background and Aims: Inclisiran, an siRNA therapy, provides sustained reductions in LDL-C. Potential CV benefits of inclisiran, as an adjunct to statins, were evaluated through simulation.

High interindividual variability in LDL-cholesterol reductions after inclisiran administration in a real-world multicenter setting in Germany
ConclusionIn this real-world patient population referred to German lipid clinics for elevated LDL-C levels, inclisiran demonstrated a high interindividual variability in LDL-C reductions. Further research is warranted to elucidate reasons for the interindividual variability in drug efficacy.Graphical abstract

Lipoprotein(a) Lowering Medications - Another Step Forward in Atherosclerosis Management
J Cardiovasc Pharmacol. 2023 May 16. doi: 10.1097/FJC.0000000000001438. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTASO and siRNA agents targeting Lp(a) appear to be promising treatment options for patients with elevated Lp(a) in addition to the classical therapies with statins or other cholesterol lowering drugs.PMID:37192439 | DOI:10.1097/FJC.0000000000001438

Inclisiran: A Review in Hypercholesterolemia
AbstractInclisiran (Leqvio®) is a first-in-class, subcutaneously administered, small interfering RNA (siRNA) that prevents hepatic synthesis of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), thereby decreasing circulating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). In the EU, inclisiran is indicated in adults with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia, as an adjunct to diet. It is intended for use in patients unable to reach LDL-C goals on maximally tolerated statin therapy, with or without other lipid-lowering therapies (LLTs). In patients who are statin intolerant or for whom a statin is contraindi...

Inclisiran-Safety and Effectiveness of Small Interfering RNA in Inhibition of PCSK-9
Pharmaceutics. 2023 Jan 18;15(2):323. doi: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15020323.ABSTRACTDyslipidemia is listed among important cardiovascular disease risk factors. Treating lipid disorders is difficult, and achieving desirable levels of LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) is essential in both the secondary and primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. For many years, statins became the basis of lipid-lowering therapy. Nevertheless, these drugs are often insufficient due to their side effects and restrictive criteria for achieving the recommended LDL-C values. Even the addition of other drugs, i.e., ezetimibe, does not help one achieve th...

Cardiac Alarmins as Residual Risk Markers of Atherosclerosis under Hypolipidemic Therapy
Int J Mol Sci. 2022 Sep 22;23(19):11174. doi: 10.3390/ijms231911174.ABSTRACTIncreased levels of low-density lipoproteins are the main risk factor in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Although statin treatment can effectively lower these levels, there is still a residual risk of cardiovascular events. We hypothesize that a specific panel of stress-sensing molecules (alarmins) could indicate the persistence of silent atherosclerosis residual risk. New Zealand White rabbits were divided into: control group (C), a group that received a high-fat diet for twelve weeks (Au), and a treated hyperlipidemic group wit...

Expanding Biology of PCSK9: Roles in Atherosclerosis and Beyond
Curr Atheroscler Rep. 2022 Jul 29. doi: 10.1007/s11883-022-01057-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: Since the discovery of PCSK9 in 2003, this proprotein convertase was shown to target specific receptors for degradation in endosomes/lysosomes, including LDLR and other family members and hence to enhance the levels of circulating LDL-cholesterol (LDLc). Accordingly, inhibitors of PCSK9, including monoclonal antibodies blocking its circulating activity and siRNA silencers of its hepatic expression, are now used in clinics worldwide to treat hypercholesterolemia patients effectively and safely in combination ...

New Strategies for Lowering Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) relies on optimizing cardiovascular health and appropriate pharmacotherapy, a mainstay of which is low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering. Typically, statin therapy remains the first-line approach. Advances in technology and understanding of lipid metabolism have facilitated the development of several novel therapeutic targets and medications within the last decade. This review focuses on medications recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the reduction of LDL-C and ASCVD ...

Cost-benefit analysis of new lipid-lowering agents
Herz. 2022 Apr 25. doi: 10.1007/s00059-022-05116-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPatients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease have a high risk for subsequent cardiovascular events despite optimal drug treatment including statins and ezetimibe. Dyslipidemia represents a central and direct cause of this, with a frequent failure to achieve the target values recommended in the guidelines. New lipid-lowering substances are increasingly becoming available for treatment of this residual risk. Due to their high cost, cost-effectiveness analyses are required in order to justify their use. Important variables when consideri...
