Abstract: Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia is a rare genetic disorder of lipid metabolism, traditional lipid-lowering therapies such as statins and proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors have little efficacy in these patients. Evinacumab can reduce the levels of LDL-C effectively. In this review, we summarize the latest advances in Evinacumab, and review the phase 2 and phase 3 clinical trials results, adverse events, and the clinical trials results in progress of Evinacumab. Finally, we discuss the current status of Evinacumab in the clinical works.

Key words: coronary heart disease, Evinacumab, lipid-lowering therapy, the latest advances
