At the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress, Californian biotech Amgen (Nasdaq: AMGN) has presented a new analysis from the FOURIER study of human monoclonal antibody Repatha (evolocumab).

The analysis adds to evidence presented earlier this year demonstrating the drug reduces risk of cardiovascular events.
