AZD0780 vs Evolocumab
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.

AZD0780
Developed by AstraZeneca
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).
Next expected readout: January 2027 · NCT07000136 (registry estimate)
Evolocumab · Repatha
Marketed by Amgen
NCT01516879 · Phase 3 · completed
The study randomly assigned 905 participants to quadruple-blinded monthly evolocumab or placebo, with both groups continuing background lipid-lowering therapy. The primary endpoint was met, with a statistically significant difference in LDL-C change at week 52, but LDL-C is a surrogate laboratory endpoint rather than a clinical outcome.
Next expected readout: November 2026 · NCT06496243 (registry estimate)
