Mixed dyslipidemia [elevated non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and triglycerides (TGs), and decreased HDL-C] is common in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Non-HDL-C and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) are the preferred therapeutic targets for mixed dyslipidemia. Alirocumab is a monoclonal antibody to proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) that effectively reduces low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), non-HDL-C, ApoB, and lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]), and is well-tolerated in individuals with T2DM.
The previously reported open-label ODYSSEY DM-DYSLIPIDEMIA trial data demonstrated the effects of alirocumab on individuals with non-HDL-C ≥ 100 mg/dL and TGs ≥ 150 and < 500 mg/dL receiving stable maximally tolerated statin (n = 413). This post hoc subgroup analysis of the primary trial investigated the effects of alirocumab [75 mg every 2 weeks (Q2W) with possible increase to 150 mg Q2W at Week 12] versus usual care [ezetimibe, fenofibrate, or no additional lipid-lowering therapy (LLT)] on non-HDL-C and other lipids in individuals with T2DM and baseline TGs ≥ 200 mg/dL and HDL-C < 40 mg/dL (men) or < 50 mg/dL (women).
Alirocumab significantly reduced non-HDL-C [LS mean difference (standard error (SE)), - 35.0% (3.9)], ApoB [LS mean difference (SE), - 34.7% (3.6)], LDL-C [LS mean difference (SE), - 47.3% (5.2)], LDL particle number [LS mean difference (SE), - 40.8% (4.1)], and Lp(a) [LS mean difference (SE), - 29.9% (5.4)] versus usual care from baseline to Week 24 (all P < 0.0001). Results were similar for alirocumab versus usual care. TG reductions were similar between alirocumab and usual care (no significant difference), but greater with fenofibrate versus alirocumab (P = 0.3371). Overall, alirocumab significantly increased HDL-C versus usual care [LS mean difference (SE), 7.9% (3.6); P < 0.05], although differences with alirocumab versus ezetimibe or fenofibrate were non-significant. Most individuals receiving alirocumab achieved ApoB < 80 mg/dL (67.9%) and non-HDL-C < 100 mg/dL (60.9%). Adverse event frequency was similar between alirocumab (67.2%) and usual care (70.7%). Additionally, no clinically relevant effect of alirocumab on change in glycemic parameters or use of antihyperglycemic agents was observed.
Alirocumab is an effective therapeutic option for individuals with T2DM, TGs ≥ 200 mg/dL, and HDL-C < 40 mg/dL (men) or < 50 mg/dL (women). Atherogenic lipid (ApoB and non-HDL) reductions were greater with alirocumab than ezetimibe, fenofibrate, or no LLT. Consistent with previous studies, alirocumab was generally well tolerated.

2 型糖尿病(T2DM)患者常合并混合性血脂异常(即非高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(non-HDL-C)和甘油三酯(TGs)升高,高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)降低),并伴有心血管风险增加。非-HDL-C 和载脂蛋白 B(ApoB)是非混合性血脂异常的首选治疗靶点。Alirocumab 是一种针对前蛋白转化酶枯草溶菌素 9(PCSK9)的单克隆抗体,可有效降低 LDL-C、非-HDL-C、ApoB 和脂蛋白(a)(Lp[a]),在 T2DM 患者中耐受性良好。
先前报告的开放标签 ODYSSEY DM-DYSLIPIDEMIA 试验数据显示,Alirocumab 可使非-HDL-C≥100mg/dL 和 TGs≥150mg/dL 且<500mg/dL 的患者受益[接受最大耐受剂量他汀治疗(n=413)]。本研究对主要试验进行了事后亚组分析,旨在探讨 Alirocumab(每 2 周 75mg,12 周时可能增至 150mg Q2W)与常规治疗(依折麦布、非诺贝特或无其他降脂治疗(LLT))相比,对 T2DM 患者、基线 TGs≥200mg/dL 和 HDL-C<40mg/dL(男性)或<50mg/dL(女性)的非-HDL-C 和其他血脂的影响。
与常规治疗相比,Alirocumab 可显著降低非-HDL-C[LS 平均差值(标准误差(SE)),-35.0%(3.9)]、ApoB[LS 平均差值(SE),-34.7%(3.6)]、LDL-C[LS 平均差值(SE),-47.3%(5.2)]、LDL 颗粒数[LS 平均差值(SE),-40.8%(4.1)]和 Lp(a)[LS 平均差值(SE),-29.9%(5.4)],差异均具有统计学意义(所有 P<0.0001)。与常规治疗相比,Alirocumab 也有类似的结果。与常规治疗相比,Alirocumab 组和常规治疗组的 TG 降低幅度相似(无显著差异),但与非诺贝特相比,Alirocumab 组的 TG 降低幅度更大(P=0.3371)。总的来说,与常规治疗相比,Alirocumab 可显著增加 HDL-C[LS 平均差值(SE),7.9%(3.6);P<0.05],尽管与 Alirocumab 相比,ApoB<80mg/dL 的比例(67.9%)和非-HDL-C<100mg/dL 的比例(60.9%)无显著差异。接受 Alirocumab 治疗的大多数患者可达到 ApoB<80mg/dL(67.9%)和非-HDL-C<100mg/dL(60.9%)。Alirocumab 组和常规治疗组的不良事件发生率相似(67.2% vs. 70.7%)。此外,Alirocumab 对血糖参数变化或抗高血糖药物使用无临床相关影响。
Alirocumab 是 T2DM 患者、TGs≥200mg/dL 和 HDL-C<40mg/dL(男性)或<50mg/dL(女性)的有效治疗选择。与依折麦布、非诺贝特或无 LLT 相比,Alirocumab 可降低致动脉粥样硬化的脂质(ApoB 和非-HDL-C)。与既往研究一致,Alirocumab 通常具有良好的耐受性。临床试验注册信息 Clinicaltrials.gov,NCT02642159。注册日期 2015 年 12 月 24 日,https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02642159。
