Table 2 Changes in LDLC and CVD risk from study entry to last follow up visit in 69 patients taking Alirocumab 75 mg every 2 weeks (n = 29), or Alirocumab 150 mg (n = 18) or Evolocumab 140 mg (n = 22) every 2 weeks (ALI-EVO)

From: Efficacy and safety of proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors, alirocumab and evolocumab, a post-commercialization study
