Efficacy and safety of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors for adults with familial hypercholesterolemia: A network meta-analysis
PCSK9 inhibitors generally show favorable efficacy and safety in FH patients. However, comparative rankings and point estimates should be interpreted with caution due to funnel plot asymmetry for LDL-C and imbalances in trial data. Ongericimab demonstrated promising results in HeFH, but further validation is required. Inclisiran's efficacy may be underestimated due to short-term follow-up. Monotherapy with PCSK9 inhibitors has limited efficacy in HoFH patients, highlighting the need for combination therapies.
