PCSK9-targeting lipid-lowering therapies (monoclonal antibodies such as evolocumab and alirocumab, and siRNA agents such as inclisiran): their LDL-lowering efficacy, safety, and effects on cardiovascular outcomes in trials and practice, typically as add-on to statins. Not for statin therapy itself or for ezetimibe and other non-PCSK9 agents.
