Aim: To examine the efficacy of 12 weeks of monthly evolocumab (EvoMab) 420 mg vs. placebo (Pbo) in lowering LDL-C in those with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia and on statin therapy. Methods: Patients ≥18 years with T2DM, HbA1c Results: Mean participant age (SD) was 62 (8) years; 44% women; 77% Caucasian. In modified, intent to treat analyses (all randomized and dosed patients) EvoMab significantly reduced LDL-C and non-HDL-C vs. Pbo, and did not impact glycemic control. The incidence of AEs was comparable between EvoMab and Pbo, with no clinically meaningful differences in serious AEs. See Table. Conclusion: In statin-treated patients with T2DM and hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia, evolocumab safely and effectively lowered LDL-C. Disclosure R.S.
