ODYSSEY OUTCOMES was designed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of alirocumab, a PCSK9 inhibitor, as a complementary therapy to maximally tolerated statins in post-ACS patients1
SEE MOREAll patients had experienced an ACS event 1-12 months prior to joining the study and had inadequately controlled lipid levels1
SEE MORE18924 patients across 57 countries (randomized 2012-2017) took part in ODYSSEY OUTCOMES1
SEE MOREODYSSEY OUTCOMES is the longest PCSK9 inhibitor cardiovascular la outcomes trial to date1

Those who have already experienced an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event are at high risk of recurrent cardiovascular events.2, 3
There is a global need for more efficacious ACS management and prevention of further cardiovascular events.4
The ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial tested the hypothesis that alirocumab, compared with placebo, reduced cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with recent ACS and levels of atherogenic lipoproteins that remain above specified concentrations despite intensive or maximally tolerated statin therapy.5, 6
ACS=acute coronary syndrome; PCSK9=proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9.
The ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial tested the hypothesis that treatment with alirocumab (a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds PCSK9) would result in a lower risk of recurrent ischemic cardiovascular events (compared to placebo) in patients who had an ACS in the 1–12 months prior to study enrollment, and who had levels of atherogenic lipoproteins that exceeded specified thresholds despite maximally tolerated statin therapy.1
The primary objective of ODYSSEY OUTCOMES was to evaluate the ability of alirocumab (75 mg or 150 mg) to reduce the incidence of additional cardiovascular events when administered via subcutaneous injection every two weeks, starting in the 1–12 months following an ACS event.2
After 48 months, mean LDL-C levels were 1.7 mmol/L; intention-to-treat and 1.4 mmol/L; on-treatment analysis in alirocumab treated patients and 2.7 mmol/L; intention-to-treat and 2.6 mmol/L; on-treatment analysis in the placebo group. In alirocumab on-treatment analysis, which excluded values measured after discontinuation of alirocumab and after blinded substitution of placebo for alirocumab, LDL-C reduction was 54.7 % lower than the one achieved in placebo.2

LDL-C=low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
ODYSSEY OUTCOMES included high-risk patients, all of whom had experienced a previous coronary event, putting them at increased risk of recurrent events and rehospitalization.1,2
All patients had experienced an ACS event 1–12 months prior to joining
the study and had inadequately controlled lipid levels (LDL-C ≥1.8 mmol/L or non-HDL-C ≥2.6 mmol/L, or apolipoprotein B ≥2.1 mmol/L) despite maximally tolerated statin treatment* for 2–16 weeks.1,2
*Statin treatment consisted of daily atorvastatin (40 or 80 mg), rosuvastatin (20 or 40 mg), or the maximum tolerated dose of either of these statins.

Following double-blind randomization, patients subcutaneously self-injected either alirocumab (75 mg initial dose) or matching placebo every 2 weeks.1

Patients were planned to be followed for up to 5 years, with a minimum follow-up duration of 2 years.*
Patients were followed for a median of 2.8 years (interquartile range 2.3–3.4).1
*Except in China, patients underwent randomization from November 2012 through February 2017. In China, 613 patients underwent randomization from May 2016 through February 2017 and were not followed for 2 years, because a lengthy regulatory approval process delayed their random assignment to a trial group until after completion of the randomization process for the rest of the trial cohort.1

Blinded dose adjustments included in the protocol intended to maximize the number of patients in the alirocumab group with LDL-C <1.29 mmol/L, while minimizing the number of patients with sustained levels of LDL-C <0.39 mmol/L.1
If the target LDL-C level was achieved on the 75 mg starting dose, no further dose changes were made. If the initial on-treatment LDL-C level exceeded 1.29 mmol/L at month 1, the dose of alirocumab was blindly up-titrated to 150 mg Q2W at month 2 (it was blindly down-titrated back to 75 mg Q2W if two consecutive LDL-C measurements were <0.65 mmol/L). Patients on the 75 mg Q2W dose were blindly switched to placebo if LDL-C was <0.39 mmol/L on two consecutive measurements.2
