摘要：
The present invention provides methods for treating patients suffering from hyperlipidemia, wherein the patient is non-responsive to, inadequately controlled by, or intolerant to treatment with a standard lipid modifying therapy. The methods of the invention provide for lowering at least one lipid parameter in the patient by administering a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody that specifically binds to angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3). The combination of an anti-ANGPTL8 antibody with an anti-ANGPTL3 antibody is useful in treating diseases such as hypercholesterolemia, including familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), both heFH and hoFH, as well as hyperlipidemia, hyperlipoproteinemia and dyslipidemia, including hypertriglyceridemia, chylomicronemia, and to prevent or treat diseases or disorders, for which abnormal lipid metabolism is a risk factor, such as cardiovascular diseases.
