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.

Abstract

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.
