Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of PCSK9 monoclonal antibody(mAb) specifically for Chinese patients have been limited. This multi-center RCT is to clarify the efficacy and safety of a novel mAb, Ebronucimab, in Chinese patients. Patients diagnosed with primary hypercholesterolemia, including Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia, or mixed dyslipidemia, were categorized by ASCVD risk and randomly assigned at a ratio of 2:1:2:1 to receive Ebronucimab 450 mg or matching placebo every 4 weeks (Q4W), or Ebronucimab 150 mg or matching placebo every 2 weeks (Q2W).

Background: Tafolecimab, a fully human proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) monoclonal antibody developed for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, demonstrated robust lipid-lowering efficacy and favorable safety in previous short-term studies. We aimed to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of tafolecimab in Chinese non-familial hypercholesterolemia (non-FH) patients.

Methods: Non-FH patients at high or very-high cardiovascular risk with screening low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level ≥1.

Background: Tafolecimab is a novel fully human proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) monoclonal antibody, developed for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of tafolecimab in Chinese patients at high or very high cardiovascular risk with hypercholesterolemia.

Methods: Patients with diagnoses of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) by the Simon Broome criteria or at high or very high cardiovascular risk with nonfamilial hypercholesterolemia, with screening low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level ≥1.
