ODYSSEY OUTCOMES
This will be the second cardiovascular outcomes trial of a proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitor to report its primary outcomes. Last year’s blockbuster FOURIER trial results showed that the PCSK9 inhibitor evolocumab significantly reduced cardiovascular events in patients with stable atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease who were still at residual risk based on elevated LDL cholesterol levels.
