LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, NA not applicable, NR not reported [79]

aRange of follow-up based on data availability: 1-year data for mipomersen, 26-week data for lomitapide, 48-week data for evolocumab, calculated from % reduction reported; CVD, cardiovascular disease [79]

bMACE was defined as CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), unstable angina pectoris and/or ischemic stroke, the evolocumab publication did not include a MACE definition; however, it is believed to be defined as death (CV or non CV), MI, UA, and coronary revascularisation as this is the definition used in the CHMP assessment report for evolocumab [10]
