Цель. Оценить результаты двухлетнего применения ингибитора PCSK9 алирокумаба. Материалы и методы. Группу наблюдения составили 27 пациентов (17 человек с семейной гиперхолестеринемией и 10 пациентов, перенесших инфаркт миокарда), средний возраст – 53,4±4,3 года, мужчин – 70,3%, длительность наблюдения – от 1 до 2,5 года, 18 (66,6%) пациентов получали терапию более 2 лет. Так, 19 пациентов получали алирокумаб в дозе 75 мг/мл 1 раз в 2 нед, 8 – в дозе 150 мг/мл 1 раз в 2 нед. До начала терапии большинство получали максимально переносимую терапию статинами, 10 человек – терапию статинами в сочетании с эзетимибом, 3 пациента – монотерапию эзетимибом из-за непереносимости статинов. Целевыми уровнями холестерина (ХС) липопротеидов низкой плотности (ЛНП) считали для пациентов очень высокого риска менее 1,4 ммоль/л, высокого риска – менее 1,8 ммоль/л, экстремального риска – менее 1 ммоль/л. Результаты. Снижение ХС ЛНП на терапии алирокумабом 58%; целевые уровни ХС ЛНП достигнуты у 77,8%. Уровень снижения ХС ЛНП менее 50%, несмотря на увеличение дозы алирокумаба до 150 мг, отмечен только в 7,4% случаев. Пациенты, потребовавшие перевода на большую дозу препарата, относились к категории очень высокого риска и характеризовались более высоким уровнем ХС и ХС ЛНП, большей частотой встречаемости ишемической болезни сердца, преобладанием мультифокального атеросклеротического поражения. Уровень снижения липопротеидов (а) составил 24,3% к 3-му месяцу терапии, 29,7% – к 6–12-му месяцу. Дестабилизации течения ишемической болезни сердца, новых случаев острого нарушения мозгового кровообращения и транзиторных ишемических атак не зарегистрировано. Для терапии алирокумабом характерны высокая приверженность и хорошая переносимость с отсутствием побочных реакций, в том числе и местного характера. Заключение. Включение в схему лечения алирокумаба способствовало стабильному течению ИБС, достижению ассоциированных с атеросклерозом целевых показателей ХС ЛНП у 77,8% пациентов, не сопровождалось побочными эффектами в течение двухлетней терапии.
Aim. To evaluate the results of two-year use of alirokumab in Karelia Republic. Materials and methods. The observation group consisted of 27 patients (17 patients with familial hypercholesterolemia, 10 patients with the history of myocardial infarction), mean age 53.4±4.3 years, 70.3% men, follow-up duration from one year to 2.5 years, 18 (66.6%) patients received therapy for more than 2 years. 19 patients received alirocumab at a dose of 75 mg/ml once every 2 weeks, eight – at a dose of 150 mg/ml once every 2 weeks. Before the start of therapy, the majority received maximally tolerated statin therapy, 10 patients received statin therapy in combination with ezetemibe, 3 patients received ezetemibe monotherapy due to statin intolerance. The target levels of LDL cholesterol were considered for very high risk patients less than 1.4 mmol/L, high risk – less than 1.8 mmol/L, extreme risk – less than 1 mmol/L. Results. The reduction of LDL on therapy with alirocumab was 58%; target levels of LDL were achieved in 77.8%. The level of decrease in LDL cholesterol less than 50% was noted only in 7.4% of cases. Patients requiring a large dose of the drug were classified as very high risk, had higher cholesterol and LDL-C levels. The level of Lp(a) decrease on 29.7% by 6–12 months. No destabilization of coronary heart disease, new cases of stroke were registered. Conclusion. The inclusion of alirocumab in the treatment regimen contributed to the stable course of atherosclerosis-associated diseases, the achievement of LDL cholesterol targets in 77.8% of patients, was not accompanied by side effects during 2.5 years therapy.
