Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) downregulates low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors, thereby leading to a rise in circulating LDL cholesterol (LDL‐C). RG7652 is a fully human monoclonal antibody against PCSK9. This placebo‐controlled, phase 1 ascending‐dose study in healthy subjects evaluated the safety of RG7652 and its efficacy as a potential LDL‐C–lowering drug.
