Abstract
Recaticimab (®), a humanized monoclonal immunoglobulin G1 antibody that targets proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), is being developed by Suzhou Suncadia Biopharmaceutical for the treatment of hypercholesteremia and mixed dyslipidemia. Recaticimab received its first approval on 8 January 2025 in China, as an adjunct to diet, in combination with statins (with or without other lipid-lowering therapies) in adults with primary hypercholesterolemia (including heterozygous familial and non-familial hypercholesterolemia) and mixed dyslipidemia who have not achieved their low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target despite receiving moderate or higher doses of statins, and for use as monotherapy in adults with non-familial hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia to reduce LDL-C, total cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B levels. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of recaticimab leading to this first approval for hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia.
Recaticimab(®)是一种人源化单克隆免疫球蛋白G1抗体,靶向蛋白转化酶subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9),由苏州Suncadia生物制药有限公司开发,用于治疗高胆固醇血症和混合性血脂异常。Recaticimab于2025年1月8日在中国首次获批,用于原发性高胆固醇血症(包括杂合子家族性和非家族性高胆固醇血症)和混合性血脂异常(尽管接受了中等或更高剂量的他汀类药物,但仍未达到低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)目标)的成人患者,作为饮食辅助药物与他汀类药物(伴或不伴其他降脂疗法)联合使用。并用于非家族性高胆固醇血症和混合性血脂异常的成人单药治疗,以降低LDL-C、总胆固醇和载脂蛋白B水平。本文总结了recaticimab在高胆固醇血症和混合性血脂异常治疗中的里程碑式进展。
