Background: Evolocumab (AMG 145), a PCSK9 inhibitor, has been shown to decrease low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. Doses of 140 mg administered every 2 weeks (Q2W) and 420 mg administered every 4 weeks (Q4W) are widely used, and both dosing schedules were effective in clinical trials. However, some researchers have speculated that 140 mg Q2W administration has equal or even greater efficacy. This meta-analysis was performed to assess the differences in efficacy and safety between the two doses.Methods: We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases to identify relevant clinical trials published before January 2016. A total of 2403 patients from 8 randomized controlled trials were identified and included in the analysis.Results: Evolocumab administered at 140 mg Q2W resulted in a greater percent change from baseline in LDL-C concentration (-7.27; 95% confidence interval (CI), -10.36 to -4.18) and had greater efficacy in achieving the treatment goal of LDL-C
