ACCELERATE Trial Termination – October 12, 2015 “The Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) met on October 7, 2015 to conduct a periodic safety data review to evaluate the need for early termination of the study for adverse safety or lack of efficacy (futility). . . … evidence has emerged to support a recommendation to stop the study as the totality of evidence suggests that evacetrapib is unlikely to be superior to placebo at study end. ” ACC LBCT Presentation – Sunday April 3, 2016; 8: 30 am What to look for: • • What were the effects on HDL-C?

CETP and PCSK 9 Inhibition Summary § CETP inhibition may enhance reverse cholesterol transport to liver. Most genotypes causing reductions in CETP mass or activity (5 -10%) are associated with modest increases in HDL-C (3 -5%) and small decreases in CV risk (3 -5%). § CETP inhibitors in current trials increase HDL-C by ~100% and reduce LDL-C by ~40%. The CVOT of the potent CETPi evacetrapib showed no risk reduction; another CVOT of anacetrapib remains underway. § PCSK 9 is a key modulator of LDL-C levels via degradation of the LDL receptor. Loss-of-function genetic variants consistently associated with reduced levels of LDL-C and reduced risk of CV disease. § PCSK 9 antibodies in current CVOTs reduce LDL-C by ~60% beyond by statins: very promising potential to further improve CV outcomes.
