LEQVIO Target & Pathway

Pro

Target

PCSK9 (Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9) Enzyme

A protein that promotes degradation of LDL receptors, reducing the liver's ability to clear LDL cholesterol. Blocking PCSK9 increases LDL receptor availability, dramatically lowering LDL cholesterol levels beyond what statins achieve.

LEQVIO Competitors

Pro

3 other drugs also target PCSK9. Compare mechanisms, indications, and trial activity.

Drug = Competitor name Company = Manufacturer N indic. = FDA-approved indications → Date = Patent/exclusivity expiry

Competitors share the same molecular target (PCSK9). Earlier expiry dates signal biosimilar/generic opportunities.
