PCSK9 Regulates the Surface Expression of LDLRs
by Targeting LDLRs for Lysosomal Degradation
LDL receptor
AMG 145, a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds PCSK9,
was well tolerated and lowered LDL in phase Ia and Ib studies

Summary & Conclusion
In patients with hypercholesterolemia on a stable regimen
of statin ± ezetimibe, SC AMG 145 for 12 weeks:
• Reduced LDL-C (ultracentrifugation) by up to 66% at the end of the
dosing interval compared to placebo
• Reduced calculated LDL-C by up to 85% 1 week post dose
• Reduced total and non-HDL cholesterol, apo B, TC/HDL, Apo B/A1
• Well-tolerated with no dose-related increase in adverse events
PCSK9 inhibition with AMG 145 offers
a new paradigm for LDL-C reduction that warrants testing
in a large, phase III cardiovascular outcomes trial
