Amgen Receives Positive CHMP Opinion Recognizing That Repatha® (Evolocumab) Prevents Heart Attacks And Strokes

Recommended Label Includes New Indication Based on the Repatha Cardiovascular Outcomes Study (FOURIER)

Amgen 世界杯直播频道 Continues to Work Closely With Payers on a Country-by-Country Basis to Ensure Access to Repatha 世界杯直播频道 for High-Risk Cardiovascular Patients

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (March 23, 2018) - 世界杯比赛时间 Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced that the Committee for 2026世界杯直播赛程 世界杯直播频道 Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has adopted a positive opinion 世界杯比赛时间 to include a new indication in the Repatha® (evolocumab) label for adults with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (myocardial infarction, stroke or peripheral arterial disease) to reduce 世界杯直播频道 世界杯直播频道 cardiovascular risk by 世界杯直播频道 lowering LDL-C levels. The recommended label recognizes the positive findings from the Repatha cardiovascular outcomes study (FOURIER) and includes data on the additional reduction 世界杯比赛时间 世界杯比赛时间 and prevention of heart attacks, strokes and coronary revascularizations 世界杯比赛时间 on top of maximally tolerated statin therapy.

The Repatha cardiovascular outcomes study showed reductions in 世界杯比赛时间 the risk of heart attack by 27 percent, 世界杯直播频道 the risk of stroke by 21 percent and the risk of coronary revascularization procedures by 22 percent in 世界杯直播频道 世界杯直播频道 patients treated with Repatha and statin therapy 世界杯比赛时间 compared to patients treated with placebo and statin therapy over a mean duration of 26 months.

“We welcome the CHMP’s positive opinion to incorporate a new indication for adults with cardiovascular disease into the European label, recognizing the impact of Repatha to prevent life-changing events such 世界杯比赛时间 as heart attacks and strokes,” said Sean E. Harper, M.D., executive vice president of Research 世界杯比赛时间 世界杯直播频道 and Development at Amgen. “With the FOURIER outcomes data now included in the U.S. label 世界杯直播频道 and an anticipated 世界杯比赛时间 世界杯直播频道 label update in Europe in the coming months, we will continue to work with payers globally 世界杯比赛时间 to ensure access to medication for higher-risk patients. Furthermore, we value and support the efforts by many stakeholders, 世界杯直播频道 including clinicians, advocates and payers, as we all work to reduce barriers to access and increase affordability for patients who need PCSK9 treatment.”

The CHMP’s positive opinion will now be reviewed by the European Commission (EC), which has the authority to approve medicines for the European Union (EU). If approved, the centralized

European marketing authorization for 2026世界杯直播赛程 Repatha will be updated 世界杯直播频道 to 2026世界杯直播赛程 include the new indication. Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, as members of the European Economic Area (EEA), will take corresponding decisions 2026世界杯直播赛程 on the basis of the EC’s decision.

On Dec. 1, 2017, the U.S. Food 世界杯比赛时间 and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new indication for Repatha as the first PCSK9 inhibitor to prevent heart attacks, strokes and coronary revascularizations in adults with 世界杯比赛时间 established cardiovascular disease following a priority review of Amgen’s supplemental Biologics License Application.

Repatha Cardiovascular Outcomes (FOURIER) Study: Key Outcomes

The 27,564-patient Repatha cardiovascular outcomes study (FOURIER) demonstrated that adding Repatha to optimized statin therapy resulted 世界杯比赛时间 2026世界杯直播赛程 in a statistically 世界杯直播频道 significant 20 percent (p<0.001) reduction 世界杯比赛时间 in major adverse cardiovascular events 世界杯比赛时间 (MACE) represented in the key secondary composite endpoint of time to first heart attack, stroke or cardiovascular death. The study found a statistically significant 世界杯直播频道 世界杯比赛时间 15 2026世界杯直播赛程 percent reduction (p<0.001) in the risk of the primary composite endpoint, which included hospitalization for unstable angina, coronary revascularization, heart attack, stroke or cardiovascular 世界杯比赛时间 death.

The magnitude of 2026世界杯直播赛程 risk reduction in both the primary and key secondary composite endpoints grew over time, 世界杯比赛时间 with the robust benefit starting as early 世界杯比赛时间 as six months and accruing through the 世界杯比赛时间 median 2.2 years of 世界杯直播频道 世界杯直播频道 世界杯直播频道 the study.

Patients on Repatha experienced a reduction in the risk of heart attack (27 percent, nominal p<0.001), stroke (21 percent, nominal p=0.01) and coronary revascularization (22 percent, nominal 世界杯直播频道 世界杯比赛时间 p<0.001).1 Consistent with recent trials of more intensive LDL-C lowering, there was no observed effect on cardiovascular mortality. Similarly, there was no observed effect on hospitalization 世界杯比赛时间 2026世界杯直播赛程 for unstable angina.2-6

The safety profile of Repatha in the outcomes trial 2026世界杯直播赛程 was generally consistent with the safety profile for the 12- and 52-week controlled trials involving patients with primary hyperlipidemia, including heterozygous familial 世界杯比赛时间 hypercholesterolemia (HeFH).

Repatha Cardiovascular Outcomes (FOURIER) Study Design

FOURIER (Further Cardiovascular OUTcomes Research with PCSK9 Inhibition in Subjects with Elevated Risk), a multinational Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, is designed to evaluate whether 2026世界杯直播赛程 世界杯比赛时间 世界杯比赛时间 世界杯直播频道 2026世界杯直播赛程 treatment with Repatha in combination 世界杯直播频道 with high- or moderate-intensity statin therapy compared to placebo plus statin therapy 世界杯比赛时间 2026世界杯直播赛程 reduces cardiovascular events. The hard MACE composite endpoint is the time to 世界杯直播频道 cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction 世界杯比赛时间 or stroke (key secondary endpoint). The extended MACE composite endpoint is the 世界杯直播频道 time to cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or hospitalization 2026世界杯直播赛程 世界杯比赛时间 2026世界杯直播赛程 2026世界杯直播赛程 世界杯直播频道 for unstable angina or coronary revascularization (primary endpoint).

Eligible patients with high cholesterol (LDL-C ≥70 mg/dL 2026世界杯直播赛程 or non-high-density 世界杯直播频道 lipoprotein 世界杯直播频道 cholesterol [non-HDL-C] ≥100 mg/dL) and established cardiovascular disease at more than 1,300 study locations 2026世界杯直播赛程 around the 世界杯比赛时间 world were randomized to receive Repatha subcutaneous 140 mg every two 世界杯比赛时间 weeks 2026世界杯直播赛程 or 420 mg monthly plus high- or moderate-intensity effective statin dose; or placebo subcutaneous every two weeks or monthly plus 世界杯直播频道 世界杯直播频道 high- to moderate-intensity statin dose. Statin therapy was defined in the protocol as at least atorvastatin 20 mg or equivalent daily with 世界杯直播频道 a recommendation for at 世界杯直播频道 least atorvastatin 40 mg or equivalent 世界杯直播频道 世界杯直播频道 daily where approved. The study was event driven and continued until at least 1,630 patients experienced a key secondary endpoint.

About Repatha® (evolocumab)

Repatha® 世界杯比赛时间 (evolocumab) is a human monoclonal antibody that inhibits proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). Repatha binds 世界杯直播频道 to PCSK9 and inhibits circulating PCSK9 2026世界杯直播赛程 from binding to 2026世界杯直播赛程 the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor (LDLR), preventing PCSK9-mediated LDLR degradation and permitting LDLR to recycle back to the liver cell surface. By inhibiting the binding of PCSK9 to LDLR, Repatha 世界杯直播频道 increases the number of LDLRs available to clear 世界杯直播频道 LDL from the blood, thereby lowering LDL-C levels.7

Repatha is approved in more than 60 countries, including the U.S., Japan, Canada, and in all 28 countries that are members of the European Union. Applications 2026世界杯直播赛程 世界杯比赛时间 in other countries are pending.
