Study to understand if inclisiran is better than a placebo at lowering LDL-cholesterol, is safe and can have an impact on patient quality of life, when given along with other lipid lowering medications.

Efficacy, safety, tolerability and quality of life of ongoing individually optimized  lipid-lowering therapy with or without inclisiran (KJX839) – a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind multicenter phase IV study in participants with hypercholesterolemia

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Inclisiran, on top of ongoing individually optimized LLT, compared to placebo, on top of ongoing individually optimized LLT, on reaching a participant's individual LDL-C target as defined in 2019 ESC/EAS guidelines for the management of dyslipidemias (Mach et al 2020);Secondary Objective: Inclisiran, on top of ongoing individually optimized LLT, compared to placebo, on top of ongoing individually optimized LLT, on: •Reducing mean LDL-C levels over the double-blind study period. •Muscle-related adverse events. •Annualized number of days pain is experienced using a pain diary. •Pain-related quality of life at day 360 using the Short-Form Brief Pain Inventory (SF-BPI).;Primary end point(s): Proportion of participants achieving individual LDL-C target (< 55 mg/dL or < 70 mg/dL) at day 90;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 90

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): •Relative change (percentage from baseline to mean LDL-C level) over the double-blind treatment period. •Proportion of participants experiencing at least one muscle-related AE as defined in the Standardized MedDRA Queries (SMQ) rhabdomyolysis / myopathy from day 1 to day 360. •Proportion of participants experiencing self-reported pain. Annualized number of days participants experiencing self-reported pain from baseline to day 360. •Change from baseline in SF-BPI pain severity score to day 360 Change from baseline in SF-BPI pain interference score to day 360. Proportion of participants with clinically relevant change in SF-BPI pain severity score from baseline to day 360. Proportion of participants with clinically relevant change in SF-BPI pain interference score from baseline to day 360.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: from baseline to day 360
