Head-to-head evidence

Alirocumab vs AZD0780

Same mechanism, same race: design-graded trial evidence for both assets, with the grading rationale shown. Grades describe the quality of the evidence, never the merits of either security.

Shared mechanism: PCSK9 · full Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease pipeline

Alirocumab · Praluent

Marketed by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals

Approved in Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Diseasemonoclonal antibody
Partial signal

NCT01507831 · Phase 3 · completed

The study was large (2,341 participants), randomized, quadruple-blind, and placebo-controlled. Its primary clinical safety endpoint was reported, but the registry does not provide a statistical significance test for the comparison, so whether the primary endpoint was met cannot be determined.

Next expected readout: December 2026 · NCT07477704 (registry estimate)

AZD0780

Developed by AstraZeneca

Phase 3 in Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Diseasesmall molecule
Reliable signal

NCT06173570 · Phase 2 · completed

The study randomized 428 participants to four AZD0780 dose groups or matched placebo and used quadruple blinding of participants, care providers, investigators, and outcome assessors. Its primary endpoint was the regulator-accepted lipid measure LDL cholesterol, and all four AZD0780-versus-placebo comparisons were statistically significant in the favorable direction (p<0.001).
