Efficacy and Tolerability of Evolocumab vs Ezetimibe in Patients With Muscle-Related Statin Intolerance: The GAUSS-3 Randomized Clinical Trial.
Summary
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of 24 weeks of evolocumab administered subcutaneously (SC) every month, compared with ezetimibe, on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in adults with high cholesterol who are unable to tolerate an effective dose of a statin due to muscle-related side effects (MRSE).
