Conclusions: Evolocumab, 140 mg Q2W/420 mg once a month, and alirocumab, 150 mg Q2W, were consistently the most efficacious nonstatin regimens when added to maximally tolerated statins to lower LDL‐C, non–high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B levels and facilitate attainment of guideline‐recommended risk‐stratified lipoprotein levels.
