Item Description

Description
  • A meta-analysis comparing injectable and oral PCSK9i therapies, including the emerging oral agent MK-0616, found comparable LDL-C reductions across all drug classes. Notably, oral formulation may improve treatment adherence due to needle aversion, which affects a significant portion of patients. These findings highlight the potential of oral PCSK9 inhibitors to close the treatment gap in ASCVD management and support more patient-friendly approaches to lipid-lowering therapy.
