Comprehensive Assessment of PCSK9 Inhibitors for Lipid Management: Scientific Guidance Based on Drug Selection Recommendations for Chinese Medical Institutions

Résumé fourni par la source

Objective: This study aims to support the selection of PCSK9 inhibitors for patients requiring lipid management within medical institutions. By quantitatively evaluating four PCSK9 inhibitors, we provide evidence-based guidance for optimal selection in this patient population. Methods: According to the Rapid Guide for Drug Evaluation and Selection in Chinese Medical Institutions (Second Edition) released in 2023, relevant databases such as PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, drug labels, and clinical guidelines were searched for drug information. Using a percentage scoring method, we systematically evaluated 4 PCSK9 inhibitors marketed in China for safety, efficacy, economy, pharmacological properties, and other attributes. Results: The final assessment result scores from highest to lowest were evolocumab (78.00 points), alirocumab (77.24 points), inclisiran (72.89 points), and tafolecimab (65.33 points). Evolocumab was the best in the economy, alirocumab scored the highest in terms of efficacy and other attributes, and inclisiran had the strongest performance in terms of pharmacological properties. Conclusion: For lipid management in medical institutions, evolocumab, alirocumab, inclisiran, and tafolecimab may be prioritized accordingly based on evaluation results.
