The Claim

In hypercholesterolemic adults receiving statin therapy, subcutaneous administration of AMG 145 at doses up to 420 mg every 4 weeks results in sustained low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reductions exceeding 60% throughout the entire dosing interval, supporting the feasibility of monthly dosing regimens.

What the research says

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.

In plain English

A shot called AMG 145, given once a month, can cut bad cholesterol by more than 60% in people already on cholesterol meds — and it stays effective the whole month.

See the scientific wording

AMG 145 administered subcutaneously at doses up to 420 mg every 4 weeks causes sustained LDL-C reductions greater than 60% over the entire dosing interval, supporting the feasibility of monthly dosing regimens in hypercholesterolemic adults on statin therapy.
