The effect of LEQVIO® on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has not yet been determined.2,3
On average, LDL-C levels were reduced by ~50% from baseline (2.92 ±1.2 mmol/L) in eligible patients with ASCVD on LEQVIO® and a maximally tolerated statin in an observational study, which is consistent with the placebo-corrected results seen in the Phase III trials, ORION-9, ORION-10 and ORION-111,6–8
In clinical trials, LEQVIO® had a safety profile similar to placebo, apart from injection-site reactions (8.2% and 1.8% of patients, respectively)2,3

*After an initial dose, LEQVIO® is administered again at 3 months, followed by every 6 months.2,3
†(79.4%). ORION-8 (n=3,274) assessed the long-term efficacy and safety of LEQVIO® in patients who entered an open-label extension after completing either ORION-3, ORION-9, ORION-10 or ORION-11 trials. Patients had a baseline LDL-C of 2.92 mmol/L (± 1.2) and the primary endpoints were the proportion of patients achieving pre-specified LDL-C goals (ASCVD <1.8 mmol/L and ASCVD risk equivalent <2.6 mmol/L) at end of study, and safety. Mean cumulative exposure to LEQVIO® in ORION-8 was 3.7 years with a maximum of 6.8 years.1
