Journal: New Therapeutic Approaches for Familial Hypercholesterolemia. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 18, 2019 Between 2012 and 2015, the US Food and Drug Administration approved four novel LDL-C-lowering agents for use in patients with FH based on the pronounced LDL-C-lowering efficacy of these medicines. We review the four novel approved agents, as well as promising LDL-C-lowering agents in clinical development, with a focus on their mechanism of action, efficacy in FH cohorts, and safety.

Clinical, Journal: Effects of Mipomersen, an apoB100 antisense, on Lp(a) metabolism in healthy subjects. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 4, 2019 We review the four novel approved agents, as well as promising LDL-C-lowering agents in clinical development, with a focus on their mechanism of action, efficacy in FH cohorts, and safety. Mipomersen treatment decreases Lp(a) levels mainly by increasing FCR of Lp(a), although changes in Lp(a) PR were significant predictors of reductions in Lp(a) levels in some subjects.
