Market Analysis and Price Projections for NDC 00904-6995
Last updated: March 9, 2026
What is NDC 00904-6995?
NDC 00904-6995 corresponds to Repatha (evolocumab), a monoclonal antibody developed by Amgen. It is used for lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Market Size and Dynamics
Global and U.S. Market Overview
The global PCSK9 inhibitor market, including Repatha, was valued at approximately $2.5 billion in 2022.
It is projected to reach around $5 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7% (Forecasts by MarketsandMarkets[1]).
Key Drivers
Increasing prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular diseases.
Rising adoption of biologics for primary and secondary prevention.
Approval of new indications expanding market potential.
Competitive Landscape
Repatha's primary competitor: Praluent (alirocumab) by Regeneron/Sanofi.
Other emerging therapies include oral PCSK9 inhibitors and gene-silencing technologies.
Pricing and Reimbursement
Average wholesale price (AWP) for Repatha in the U.S. in 2023 ranged between $6,000 and $8,000 annually.
Actual patient costs are often lower due to insurance coverage and discounts.
Medicare and private insurers negotiate substantial rebates and coverage policies.

Revenue Projections
With an estimated patient population of 150,000 in the U.S. (market penetration of roughly 20% of eligible patients), revenues could reach near $4.5 billion annually by 2028-2030, assuming sustained market share.
Opportunities: New indications, enhanced formulations (e.g., less frequent dosing), expanded geographic access.
Regulatory and Pricing Policy Impact
The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (2022) is targeting drug pricing reforms which could limit list price increases.
The FDA's recent guidance on biosimilar pathway acceleration may facilitate earlier market entry for competitors.
Key Takeaways
The market for NDC 00904-6995 (Repatha) is driven by increasing cardiovascular disease prevalence and expanding indications.
Prices have stabilized around $6,500–$7,000 annually in the U.S., with forecasted declines due to biosimilar competition.
Revenue potential remains substantial, but long-term growth is subject to biosimilar market share gains and regulatory changes.
FAQs
What factors influence Repatha's future market share?
